The Little Cracker series of autobiographical tales continues with Alison Steadman's sweetly written and charmingly realised story of a teenage encounter with The Beatles at Liverpool's Cavern Club. Sixteen-year-old Alison (Lauren McQueen) and her pals are excited about a lunchtime gig by The Beatles even though her mother (Steadman) doesn't want her to go. But drawn by the prospect of seeing the moptops and the promise of free soup and a bread roll, the girls head to the club and afterwards even manage to get John and Paul's autographs while waiting in the post office. Straight afterwards, comic Dylan Moran recalls a story about being mugged after his first job interview and the effect the incident had on his father.
