Parkinson is more familiar as the long-suffering boss of the IT department featured in The IT Crowd. She is also well-known as Martin Clunes' secretary in several series of Doc Martin, a programme in which Ian McNeice also plays a major role. A much-in-demand comedic actor, she has been a member of the regular casts of several series in the 2000s and 2010s, including: The Great Outdoors, co-starring Ruth Jones and Gwyneth Keyworth; Whites, written by Shakespeare Code actor Matt King; and The Old Guys starring Roger Lloyd-Pack, Clive Swift and Jane Asher. She was also a main character in The Grinning Man, the feature-length episode of the originally Verity Lambert-produced Jonathan Creek, which introduced Sheridan Smith as a member of the regular cast.

After her education at St. Hilda's, she moved on the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Arts (LAMDA). Coincidentally, this is where Parkinson met her future The IT Crowd co-star, Chris O'Dowd. O'Dowd has admitted that both he and Parkinson were 'two of the worst students'. Neither finished their courses there, and left because both of them 'kind of got a mixture of thrown-out and left-of-our-own-volition'. She had enrolled in a two year course at LAMDA, however, she left in her second year when she landed a major role in the play The Age of Consent.
