The Power of Parker cancelled by BBC after two series

• The BBC has cancelled its sitcom The Power of Parker after two series, despite the show winning an RTS North West Award in 2024 for Best Comedy.
• A BBC spokesperson confirmed there are no plans for a third series of the comedy, which starred Conleth Hill and Sian Gibson.
• A source suggested that despite attracting two million viewers, the show's ratings “didn't deliver enough bang for buck”, leading to its cancellation.
• The decision comes despite the second series ending on a major cliffhanger, which is likely to disappoint fans.
• This cancellation is part of broader BBC content spending cuts, which have also seen the nature series Winterwatch axed, though new comedies are being added to the schedule.
