What is The Power of Parker about?
In series one, which aired in 2023, Martin Parker (Hill) seems to have the perfect life, with a chain of successful electrical superstores, a wife of 25 years, two kids, a big house and a flash car. But under the surface, he's struggling to juggle his business debts with the two women in his life: his wife and his mistress.
Series two jumps forward to 1992 and finds Kath, Martin and Diane all trying their best to get along
© BBC/Boffola PicturesThe synopsis continues: "Martin Parker has hit rock bottom and is desperate to get his reputation back, Diane is adjusting to single life and running a business, while Kath is getting her happily ever after with her man by her side and is working on rekindling a relationship with her sister.
"She's on a mission to sort things out for her sister and her man, but her interfering does the opposite and jeopardises everything. They will need to depend on each other now more than ever, but who do they trust?"
