The Krankies A Funny Way Of Life

"Really vulgar and bawdy and a brilliant insight into the world of light entertainment of the 70s and 80s...it did give me a lot of pleasure. What a great book." Benjamin Myers, The Guardian.

Comedy duo Ian and Janette Tough became household names as The Krankies after performing in front of the Queen Mum and a television audience of millions at the Royal Variety Performance in 1978. With Janette portraying cheeky schoolboy Wee Jimmy Krankie and Ian as the exasperated adult trying to keep a lid on Jimmy's antics, they went on to revive the BBC1 institute Crackerjack! Before fronting their own popular shows including The Krankies Elektronik Komic, making them one of the biggest acts of the 1980s.

Their incredible career went on to span six decades, but now, in their own words, 'A Funny Way Of Life' provides one of the most surprising, intriguing and downright fun autobiographies you will ever read.
