Sitcom set in 1990. Martin Parker is a self-made impresario with the ambition of Alan Sugar and the swagger of Robert Kilroy Silk. A man with a chain of electrical stores bearing his name, he seems to have it all. But the truth is, times are changing. He's swimming in debt, his complicated private life is catching up with him and he's starting to lose his power.

The Power Of Parker plots his downfall at the hands of all those he's screwing over with his lust for money, sex and success. Including wife Diane, father-in-law Dougie, mobile hairdresser Kath and Kath's best mate Gladys.
