The Krankies are a Scottish comedy duo that enjoyed success as a cabaret act in the 1970s and on television in the 1980s. They entered semi-retirement in 1991, though have regularly appeared in pantomimes since. They are Janette Tough (born May 16 1947) who at only 4'5" played schoolboy Wee Jimmy Krankie; and her husband Ian Tough (born March 26 1947), who played Jimmy's father.
In early 1981 they released a single named Fan'dabi'dozi, their catchphrase. It stalled at number 46. They had two television series — The Krankies Klub (1982) and The Krankies Elektronik Komik (1985).
