A Home of Your Own is a 1965 British comedy film directed by Jay Lewis and starring Ronnie Barker, Richard Briers, Peter Butterworth and Bernard Cribbins.

Also starring In the 2006 interview included on the DVD's box set release, producer Bob Kellett said the film's idea was not his own, but came from a comic idea to "de-prestige" a building company's vainglorious promotional film he and the writers had watched.

[3] The Monthly Film Bulletin wrote: "The aural accompaniment to this little comedy consists of music and incoherent noises instead of dialogue: grunts of command from one man to another, or pitiful, faint cries from the discomfited architect, finally winched into the air in his sports car after suffering considerable embarrassment on previous visits due to his ignorance of working procedure.

The really happy thing about the film, however is the way it looks: the semi-circle of old car seats formed for the first teabreak in the workmen's first few minutes on the site; the arrival of large groups of men from the gas or water boards whose usefulness appears to depend on one man (the hole-digger or the water-diviner) completing his job first; the inevitable explosion when a pipe-smoking observer tosses a match on to the newly exposed, and damaged, gas pipe; the great hills of freshly dug earth among which the water board contingent eventually walk behind the man with the dowsing-rod; the shoddy cement block that cracks every time the most artistic of the workers is half-way through an inscription, finally painstakingly chiselled out only to shock the Mayoral party by its omission of the "I" in "public subscription".

Evocatively photographed by Denys Coop, this is a bright, if unpretentious, piece of film-making, which it is heartening to be able to call our own.
