Notes: Liam is too big for his boots, his football strip, and his school blazer. But being super-sized height-wise has its advantages: he's the only eleven-year-old to ever ride the G-force defying Cosmic rollercoaster or be offered the chance to drive a Porsche.
Long-legged Liam makes a giant leap for boy-kind by competing with a group of adults for the chance to go into space.
Is Liam the best boy for the job? Sometimes being big isn't all about being a grown-up.

The famous adventures of Toad of Toad Hall and his three riverside friends are dramatised by Alan Bennett.
The Story of Ratty, Mole, Badger and Toad's escapades, from messing about on the river to poop-pooping in Toad's shiny new car, was vividly brought to life in Alan Bennett's stage adaptation at the National Theatre in 1990, which captured the imagination of a new generation, and introduced many to Kenneth Grahame's classic book for the first time.
This BBC Radio 4 full-cast recording features many of the members of the National Theatre production - among them Richard Briers, Leslie Phillips and Terence Rigby - and is narrated by Alan Bennett himself.
