Sequels

The film was followed by two sequels, also running around 50 minutes and both starring John Hamill as artist Alan Street. The first was Girls Come First (1975), directed by Joseph McGrath (credited as Croisette Meubles). This played as a prequel to the original (Sue Longhurst's character, Sue, was Street's girlfriend instead of his wife, and there is no mention of their young daughter Abigail), and was set mainly in a Soho nightclub where Street is commissioned by owner Hugh Jampton (Bill Kerr) to paint nude sketches of his female models for a magazine. The cast also included Burt Kwouk, Cheryl Gilham, Rikki Howard, Heather Deeley and future singer Hazel O'Connor (credited as Hazel Glyn) in her first film role.

The third film in the series was Under the Bed (1977), directed by David Grant and set at a wedding party. Although Hamill reprised his role as Alan Street, Longhurst did not appear in this film, and the other cast members included Theresa Wood, Jayne Lester, Brian Godfrey, Lisa Taylor and Michael Cronin. This was also the only film in the series not to receive censorship cuts by the BBFC.

The first two films in the series were later edited together into one feature length movie which was also released as Girls Come First (with The Over Amorous Artist comprising the second half of the film).
