Come along to Manchesterford, a place full of quaint, old-fashioned shops such as "Acorn Antiques" run by sisters Miss Babs and Miss Berta.
They are assisted by business partner Mr Clifford, elderly tea lady Mrs Overall and two 'pitiful adolescents’.
But before long, their cosy world faces a threat from developers, who want to turn their high street into a collection of coffee bars and sexy underwear shops.
As the plot unfolds, Miss Babs and Miss Berta are faced with financial woes and family secrets, including a lost triplet sister.
Will the innocent antique dealers fight off the developers and a sinister loan shark? Can they find the missing will of their father? And will Miss Berta ever find true love?
