BBC Radio 4 produced a radio serial, with Hugh Grant as Felix and Siân Phillips as Mrs Maxie, releasing it on CD shortly after airing.
Garman's voicing of the main characters included the "voices" of Adam West as Batman, Ed Wynn as the Joker (initially, this was Garman's impression of Cesar Romero's Joker, but Smith suggested using Wynn's voice instead), Sean Connery as Commissioner Gordon, and Al Pacino as Maxie Zeus.
In 2005, Kirsten Storms assumes the role of Maxie as the character faces complications with her heart transplant.
The subsequent movie, in which Rosenbloom did not appear, also starred Jackie Gleason, who was very good friends with Maxie.
