Alan Bennet's fixation with cream crackers and old ladies
In the film, scripted by Alan Bennett, Mother finds a cream cracker in her cardigan pocket. Bennett then went on to write a monologue entitled 'A Cream Cracker Under the Settee' about an old lady (played by the late Dame Thora Hird) who finds a cream cracker under the settee. Coincidence, or something more sinister?
