Associated on DeBaser with the BBC film Threads (broadcast in Italy as Ipotesi di sopravvivenza). The listing on DeBaser also includes a number of songs and remixes linked to the name.

British film and television director credited with directing the BBC nuclear-war drama Threads (1984); Threads was broadcast in Italy in 1985 under the title Ipotesi sopravvivenza. Public film credits also include the feature film The Bodyguard (1992).

The available review praises Mick Jackson's film Threads as a definitive depiction of nuclear holocaust, highlighting institutional failure and societal regression after the bomb. The reviewer emphasizes the chilling depiction of a generation impaired by radiation and the lack of heroic rescue. Threads is positioned as more documentary and forward-looking than contemporaries like The Day After.

For:Fans of Cold War and post-apocalyptic cinema, film students, readers interested in social-collapse narratives.

 And the look at the "children of the bomb," a generation genetically and mentally impaired, devoid of reference points and feelings, is possibly the most chilling aspect of Threads, making it the definitive film on nuclear holocaust because it is difficult to imagine a greater horror than a total destruction without hope of reconstruction.
