Conversation Pieces: Sales Pitch - Aardman Animations (Short Film)

You may never want to open your front door again!
Commissioned by Channel 4 in 1982, Conversation Pieces allowed Peter Lord and Dave Sproxton to develop ideas aimed at a more sophisticated, adult audience. The 5-minute shorts also gave birth to a device that has become an Aardman trademark - matching animated characters to real-life dialogue.

The film focuses on a door-to-door salesman tries to use the gift of the gab to sell an elderly couple things they don't really need. And the voice - Gordon Draper who at the time of recording, was District Manager of Betterware, who was very well gifted at sales techniques. RIP

Years back before the Aardman are made for kids, the early short films are more of adult audiences.

What accent is this? Shropshire?

[@adexterwolfe]

The old dears are Bristol. South Bristol I reckon. The salesman sounds Cardiff way to me? Hard to tell though.
