Record attempt: Spamalot

Look here too

The creators of Monty Python musical Spamalot are bidding to set a new record for the world's largest coconut orchestra.

The attempt to make it into the Guinness World Records book will take place in London's Trafalgar Square on St George's Day, April 23.

Members of the public will be issued with a pair of coconuts and will "clip-clop" them in time to the Python classic Always Look On The Bright Side of Life.

The cast of the West End show will be on hand to lead the attempt.

The current record for the largest number of people gathered in one location playing coconuts currently stands at 1,789.

That was set in March last year outside the Shubert Theatre in New York, to celebrate the one-year anniversary of the Broadway production.

Spamalot is the brainchild of Python star Eric Idle.

The award-winning show is "lovingly ripped off" from the film Monty Python and the Holy Grail, and tells the legendary story of King Arthur and the Knights of the Round Table.

I was there and clopped along, proud to be a daughter of merry England! I was accosted by a Knight who says Ni in the morning but recovered sufficiently to partake by 7pm. What great fun it was too.

Yay, anyone else planning to be there tonight?

I'll be the one with the coconuts...

I was part of the original coconut orchestra in New York and wish I could fly to London to be part of the UK coconut orchestra - it was great fun!
