More from Jesus Christ, They've Done It - The Threads Podcast
Before Mick Jackson made Threads, he made a documentary called QED: A Guide to Armageddon, which was shown by the BBC in 1982. Everyone’s favourite Dr Vicky McMahon returns to tell us all about QED and how it relates to Threads. I talk about what it was like to watch Threads on the big screen and we also chat about the exciting release of Survivors: The Spectre of Threads.
Giss’un! This week we hear from Marcus Lund, who played Gaz in Threads.
The Threads podcast is back and it’s the Shag, Marry, or Kill episode!
I'm Chas Newkey-Burden and when I set out on this podcast odyssey six months ago, my biggest dream was to interview Mick Jackson, the director of Threads.
The Day After is an American television film depicting the effects of a nuclear war on a small-town community in Kansas. It was broadcast in 1983. In this episode, I speak with the film's director. As well as directing several movies, Nicholas Meyer is an Academy Award-nominated screenwriter and an author. He talks about Thanksgiving meals with Oppenheimer, stormy times behind the scenes, and why the day after might have saved the world.
