Olivia's mum has always been a bit eccentric, so when she tells Olivia and little Angeline that they're going to live in a department store, Olivia thinks it's best just to humour her. After all, they're used to moving house - bed and breakfasts, hotels, wigwams - you name it, they've lived there ... But a department store? That's not quite the same, is it?Starring Dervla Kirwan, Peter Capaldi, Ricky Tomlinson, Sean Hughes and Brian Blessed, The Greatest Store in the World was nominated for a Bafta Award for Best Children's Drama. It introduced real-life sisters, Elizabeth and Holly Earl, as screen sisters, Livvy and Angeline.
Written by Alex Shearer, produced by Gillian Gordon and directed by Jane Prowse, it was a Film and General/Carlton TV production for BBC1.
