Esmonde and Larbey teamed up with Michael Gambon and Briers again for another BBC Comedy Series called "The Other One" (1977–79), a sitcom about a man who is a liar who attempts to hide his insecurities through charade; it was successful enough for a second series to be broadcast. They returned to football with ITV's "Feet First" (1979) starring Jonathan Barlow as Terry Prince, a local footballer given the chance to hit the big time. Also less successful than "The Good Life" was their sitcom for ITV "Just Liz" (1980) starring Sandra Payne. This was followed by "Don't Rock The Boat" (1982–83) which starred Nigel Davenport.
