Spike Milligan - Bridge on the River Wye

Experience this unique piece of comedy history from Spike Milligan, a parody of the film The Bridge On The River Kwai. Originally based on an earlier Goon Show titled The African Incident, this recording was famously edited by producer George Martin (of The Beatles fame) to remove the letter 'k' from every utterance following a legal threat from the film distributors. This classic comedy performance was never aired on radio or performed live for an audience, making this CD the definitive way to enjoy the work.
