Bridge on the River Wye is an album by members of the British comedy group The Goon Show and other humorists.[1] It was produced by George Martin for EMI's Parlophone Records. It is a parody of the 1957 film The Bridge on the River Kwai.[2] For legal reasons, the 'K' at the start of Kwai was edited out.[3]
The record stars Spike Milligan, Peter Sellers, Jonathan Miller and Peter Cook, and also features Peter Rawley and Patricia Ridgway, with incidental music composed and directed by Angela Morley.[4]
The script was written by Spike Milligan, based on an earlier script by Milligan and Larry Stephens for The Goon Show, "African Incident"[5] (Series 8, Episode 14), first broadcast on BBC radio on 30 December 1957.
The record jacket advises, "For best results, play this record in a circular fashion".[6] Artwork was designed by Dennis Gosling (1934–2014).
