6. Liverpool - The Beatles & Steadman.
'Liverpool in the 1960s – everything was in black and white until the Beatles started playing lunchtime sessions at the Cavern and the city exploded into colour. Ignoring her mother’s orders, ‘There’ll be trouble…’, Steadman would sneak off to watch them – ‘We’re just going shopping, Mum.’ '
'She once cornered John Lennon and Paul McCartney in the post office for autographs. ‘He put, “To Alison, love Paul,” and gave it to me, then he said, “Here give it back to me a minute.” And he wrote “Beatles”, in brackets, underneath. And he said, “I thought I’d better put that, because in the future someone’s going to look at that and say, ‘Who the bloody hell’s Paul?’”
‘And then, of course, when the Beatles became famous, Mum said, “You did go there, didn’t you? What was it like?”’ She laughs.'
It always goes back to the Beatles!

8. ‘Staying with her parents in 1972, she went to the Everyman Theatre and was cast with Jonathan Pryce in Ted Whitehead's play 'The Foursome', also set in Liverpool. It was about two young couples who go off to Freshfield and spend a day on the sand dunes. The stage was covered in sand and the play had a lot of nudity and rude language.’
‘Mike Leigh drove to Liverpool to see her in the play and asked her to be in his film 'Hard Labour', during which, both have said, they "got together". They married in 1973 and had two sons, Toby (born 1978) and Leo (born 1981) and lived in Wood Green, London.’
