Goodmans of Glassford Street is the story of a successful but
old-fashioned family department store and the lives and conflicts
of the people who work in it, including the strong-willed matriarch
Abigail Goodman. Douglas Benson, Abigail's son-in-law, is
determined to gain control of the store and completely modernise
it. He becomes more and more ruthless and devious in his methods to
oust Abigail but Abigail is determined to hold on to the business
and keep it as it is. She and her late husband, Tom, had built the
business up together. All her memories of her much-loved husband
are tied up with the store. As the struggle for control of the
store escalates, Abigail's son John presents the family with
another crisis. A serial killer is stalking the closes and wynds of
Edinburgh and it looks like John may be a suspect. It's a bitter
blow to the Goodman family at an already uncertain time. Goodmans
of Glassford Street is a powerful story of a family torn apart by
personal conflict and the struggle for control of the business and
of one woman's determination to protect both her family and her
life's work.
