This was the first film by Warp Films, an imprint of British record label Warp Records. It was released on DVD in 2003, on a region 0, PAL disc. The disc featured a false commentary track,[clarification needed] among other bonuses. The packaging included a list of various wrongs committed by the protagonist, although one would have to destroy the case to read them all.[citation needed] The title comes from this tendency of the protagonist to record his sins: the film depicts numbers 8245–8249 in the timeline, and number 117, which was an unguarded comment made as a small boy, in a flashback.
