The cat's out of the bag.

Diane is shocked to learn that her daughter's school fees are in arrears, she also makes the discovery of a keys, a discovery that opens her eyes to what's going on.

Maybe not as sharp or witty as the first episode, but still amusing and enjoyable.

More gentle laughs throughout, what I think this second episode did well, was give us back story, it revealed how on Earth Martin came to marry Diane, we also get to learn that Martin and Kath were once an item.

Favourite scene had to be the sisters coming to blows over Martin, there was definitely more than a degree of hidden hatred between the two, the revelation of the affair came a lot sooner in the series than I was expecting, I thought that would come at the end of the show.

An interesting cliffhanger, is Martin about to be charged with murder?

7/10.

This continues to be a warm and funny comedy, that's for sure.

It is difficult though even at this early stage to see how it could go on and be a long-running comedy (remember those on the BBC?) as several large cats have already been let out of the bag.

It is nice though to see a warm, albeit at times rude, comedy on the BBC though, and although he isn't involved in any shape or form, this certainly has strong 'Peter Kay' vibes about it as a piece. Either that or a more sweary Victoria Wood.

So overall, judged on its own, this is a second fun outing for 'The Power of Parker', but it will need to keep proving it has legs moving forwards.
