Mick Jackson Remembers... Threads (BBC Four 9th October 2024)

Ahead of a rare rescreening of the BBC’s apocalyptic drama Threads, director and producer Mick Jackson looks back to 1984 and shares the story behind the creation of this acclaimed vision of Britain suffering the effects of nuclear war.

Taking Sheffield as the focal point for the aftermath, the film was highly praised for its examination of the social, economic and environmental damage that such a war would bring and has been described as one of the most haunting and unforgettable dramas of the 1980s.

This was broadcast on BBC Four for 15 minutes before a re-showing of Threads on the 9th of October 2024.
