The 60 year-old actor, who played ‘Cat’ in the cult sci-fi comedy, was caught by police driving his black four-litre convertible - complete with A1DJJ personalised number plate - at 50mph in a 30mph zone.
John-Jules, who lives in a £1.2m house in
Whitmore Gardens, Kensal Rise also played cop Dwayne Myers in the BBC’s Death in Paradise.
He appeared at Uxbridge Magistrates Court to fight the case, but was convicted of speeding at twenty minutes after midnight in Harrow Road, Paddington on July 22, last year.
Police gave evidence the actor, who was returning from a day out in Aylesbury with his sons, aged 13 and 15 years-old, undertook them “at speed”.
An officer estimated John-Jules as travelling at 50mph and claimed he was aggressive and irritated when stopped.
The actor represented himself and denied speeding and behaving poorly towards the police officers.
He said he only picked up a little speed to get past the police car, which he estimated was travelling at 20mph.
However, he was convicted by a District Judge of the charge and was fined £220, with £620 costs and ordered to pay a £34 victim surcharge.
His driving licence was also endorsed with three penalty points.
