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.

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! Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information.","meta_description":"In this episode, I speak with Catherine Taylor, who was an extra in Threads.
