| 12/11/25 | ![]() The gender politics of Threads with Dr Vicky McMahon | 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.Instagram: @AllThatChas Hosted on Acast.

| 10/16/25 | ![]() Maggie Ford (CND speaker) interview | ‘You cannot win a nuclear war!’But you can listen to episode three of the Threads podcast, which is out now. This time, I speak with Maggie Ford, who played the unnamed CND activist in Threads. She’s on screen for just 76 seconds of the film, but she’s always been one of my favourite characters because of her powerful speech and because she reminds me of the CND activists who took me under their wing when I joined at the age of 11, after I first watched Threads.

| 10/12/25 | ![]() Rita May (Mrs Kemp) interview | This week, I have a chat with the glorious matriarch of Threads: Rita May, who played Mrs Kemp. The mother of Jimmy, Alison and Michael, Mrs Kemp is one of the film’s most iconic characters.For me, watching as a child from comfortable south-west London, she was a revelation. She was bold, working class and Sheffield to her core. Yes, she was a work of fiction, but she felt more authentic than most of the people I’d met in real life.I chatted with Rita on the phone and she told me about the laughs she had on set, the tears she cried when she first watched the finished film, and the nuclear nightmares she had afterwards.Jingle: Protect & SurviveInstagram: @AllThatChasX: @AllThatChasBluesky: @allthatchas.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

A star of countless TV shows including Casualty and Coronation Street, this is the first time Jane’s spoken about Threads.
