However, Butler Parker would always be the main character who cracked the cases and sometimes protected or even rescued his employers.

(Although Parker had a traditional London taxi, jam-packed with amazing gadgets instead of a Jaguar E-Type) Both heroes had their first appearances in publications of the publishing house Bastei.

In the beginning Butler Parker was in the service of an old lady but later on he had an American boss called Mike Rander.

Since the novels about Butler Parker were very successful and another fictitious British pulp fiction hero (Percy Stuart) had already been adapted for the TV screen with huge success, the idea of a TV series about Butler Parker seemed to suggest itself.

Still the short life of his TV presence didn't diminish the ongoing success of the novels.
