Gary Davies sits in and actor Alison Steadman selects the songs that soundtracked her life in this week's Tracks Of My Years.

One of the best actors this country has produced, Alison has had a long and varied career, but in recent years is probably best known as ‘Pam-el-a’ in Gavin & Stacey.

She became interested in performance at a young age, and as a teenager, she snuck off to see the Beatles perform live at the Cavern Club. As a young actress, she appeared in seminal plays written by her former husband Mike Leigh.

From Beverly in ‘Abigail’s Party’ to Gavin’s mum Pam in ‘Gavin & Stacey’, Alison’s versatile range has made her one of the most loved British actors on stage and on screen. Now, she's appearing in the final ever episode of Gavin & Stacey, which is on Â鶹ԼÅÄ One on Christmas Day.

Discover how this amazing actor became such a national treasure and what songs soundtracked her journey, with her next two choices today.
