In this episode, I speak with Catherine Taylor, who was an extra in Threads.


She’s written about her experiences on the set in her memoir The Stirrings – Coming of Age in Northern Time. It’s a story about a young woman’s experiences, and about the place and time that shaped her: the north of England in the 1970s and 80s.


We chat about the film, its lasting legacy and why it’s a metaphor for Thatcher’s own attack on northern cities like Sheffield.


PS - if you were involved in Threads, please get in touch. I'd love to chat!
