The BBC has a brand new show this Friday, July 28, with the new drama-comedy The Power of Parker.
The show follows the story of a self-made businessman, Martin Parker, who is struggling to keep his head above water as the 1980s turn into the 1990s.
With the ambition of Lord Alan Sugar but the swagger of Robert Kilroy Silk, Parker has a chain of electrical stores bearing his name, he seems to have it all.
However, the truth starts to come out as he continues to swim in debt and confront his complicated private life.
