The film was commissioned by Channel 4 as part of a 5-part series of Aardman animations called "Lip Synch".
The five films in the series were Creature Comforts (1989), Going Equipped (1990), Ident (1990), Next (1990) and War Story (1989).
This one is with Bill Perry, a genuine British World War II vet.
Bill Perry relates stories about his life, his tilted house, and The Blitz of World War II in Bristol, England.
[5] Dr. Grob gave the film two and a half stars out of five, praising the “very tongue-in-cheek” sequences, but felt that the film “suffers from a bad soundtrack, and (Perry)’s mumblings are at times very difficult to follow, indeed.” He notes that the “blending of real interviews with original and humorous images would be perfected in ‘Creature Comforts’ by Nick Park, who also animated on this film.
