He also runs a nuclear YouTube channel and he makes models of the iconic Threads traffic warden.But when he first watched the film he had months of sleepless nights and threw his VHS copy in the bin. He talks about how he went from that, to becoming a Threads superfan, and how watching the film partly influenced his interesting career path.Jingle: Protect & SurviveInstagram: @AllThatChasX: @AllThatChasBluesky: @allthatchas.bsky.social Hosted on Acast.

• 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.
