À propos de ce contenu audio

I’m Chas Newkey-Burden and when I watched the nuclear war film Threads in 1984 at the age of 11 it terrified me and changed my life forever.


I started this podcast to speak to other people whose lives have been changed by Threads, from cast and crew members, to extras, broadcasters, authors and super fans.


Welcome… to Jesus Christ, They’ve Done it.

      ‘I was 11 years old and I was trying to build a nuclear bunker.’


      My previous guests on the pod have been Threads actors, crew members and super fans, but this time you’re getting me. This is my Threads story.

    • Behind the scenes of Threads with Simon Moorhead
      Dec 20 2025

      Happy Christmas from the Threads podcast.


      As we prepare to join Ruth and her wailing baby around the Christmas fire, I’d like to say a big thank you to everyone who’s listened to and supported the podcast this year.


      And my Christmas gift to you is an interview with Simon Moorhead, who was Assistant Floor Manager on the film.


      So settle down with a mince pie or a pack of Prawn Cocktail crisps and prepare to go behind the scenes of Threads. Simon tells us about rats in taxis, a raid from the Special Branch, and the time Mick Jackson swapped two Christs and one bugger for a f**k.

    • The gender politics of Threads with Dr Vicky McMahon
      Dec 11 2025

      This week’s guest is a real treat. Dr Vicky McMahon is an independent scholar who specialises in body studies, 16th century literature and horror. She was 16 years old when she first watched Threads and she credits it with stoking her lifelong obsession with dystopian literature and film.


      She’s a committed socialist feminist, a fellow of the Royal Historical Society, an actor, poet playwright and director. She holds a PhD from the Shakespeare Institute, University of Birmingham, and her monograph, Shakespeare, Tragedy and Menopause: The Anxious Womb, was recently published by Palgrave Macmillan.


      In our conversation about Threads, we talk about the film’s gender politics and body horror, and she explains why Mick Jackson is a God. I think that Vicky’s depth, emotional intelligence and humanity put this conversation on another level. I hope you enjoy it too.
