Undoing Martin Parker will air a full series in 2023, the BBC has confirmed today.

Revealed exclusively by British Comedy in April when a pilot episode was filmed, the comedy stars Sian Gibson alongside Conleth Hill in the title role, and is set at the turn of the 1990s.

George Costigan, Sheila Reid and Rosie Cavaliero also star, with Gibson and her fellow Car Share co-writer Paul Coleman having created and written the series.

Producers Boffola Pictures and Lookout Point tease: "Set in Manchester, 1990, the last days of Thatcher, we meet Martin Parker, a self-made impresario with the ambition of Alan Sugar and the swagger of 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.

"Undoing Martin 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 (Cavaliero), father-in-law Dougie (Costigan), mobile hairdresser Kath (Gibson) and her best mate, Gladys (Reid). With 90s' big hair and big laughs to match."

Sian Gibson says: "Luckily my fashion sense hasn't changed since 1990 so it's a dream to be reliving my youth and dusting off my crimpers with this amazing cast and wonderful team."

Paul Coleman adds: "Thrilled to be writing this series and working with such a wonderfully talented cast, who are all helping us shine a much needed light on the themes of family feuds, revenge and top-loading VCRs."

Jon Petrie, the BBC's Director of Comedy, says: "Sian and Paul have created an irresistible gang of comedy characters and a world packed with joyful nostalgia. The quality of their writing is matched by a fantastic cast and we're incredibly excited to introduce Martin Parker and bring this lovable rogue to BBC audiences next year."

Filming begins early in the new year on location in Stockport.
