Production notes

This hilarious series puts the voices of ordinary people into the mouths of the largest cross-section of Plasticine animals ever seen on the small screen.

Creature Comforts provides a unique documentary-style insight into the lives of the wild animals and domestic pets of the British Isles.

The interviewers leave no stone unturned, no tree unclimbed, no sea uncrossed in their quest to discover what our finned, furred and feathered friends really think about the issues that are closest to their hearts. This series gives us the answers straight from the horse's mouth.

The series began as "Creature Comforts," a 1989 short by Nick Park. Later, a series of TV commercials for UK Heat Electric were broadcast in the early 1990s.
