Name of this 80's sitcom

Hey I am trying to find the name of a sitcom from the late 70's or early 80's. It was about this guy that was living on a house boat, I think he had a wacky girlfriend and a somewhat loser brother.

No idea, at all?!

Stay Lucky? Dennis Waterman. Random googling always prevails.

I vaguely remember this, but had no idea that Robert 'Gene Hunt' Glenister was in it. Sounds like his character bore a passing resemblance to his Life on Mars successor.

Wasn't it actually Gene Hunt's 'brother'?
Philip Glenister is the guy in Life on Mars - Robert is his brother.

Yes Sink or Swim! Thanks Britcom Barry.

Oh.... Errr

That'll teach me to be clever!

I think that sitcom was called The River, it starred David Essex and Katy Murphy.
