The series was followed the following year by a sequel, entitled Stranger in the City. Acker Bilk's "Jenny" was renamed "Stranger on the Shore" when it was chosen as the theme for the series. It was subsequently released as a single, spending 55 weeks in the UK singles chart and becoming the best-selling record of 1962 in the U.S. chart. Of the five episodes produced, only two survived the BBC's junkings. The sequel series, Stranger in the City, was also subject to having all six of its episodes wiped, and is completely lost. (en)
