about (not) posting this sort of thing... Ye gads, there should have been a health warning about looking at that picture.

He's a magazine editor. Perhaps he had the day off.

What a pair they are. Here we have Ian decking Paul Daniels because,

I was a bit punchy when I was in my 30s. I think he must have said something to contradict what I was saying.

Further on we learn the truth about that 'beanstalk' accident which laid Wee Jimmie low.

they did take time away from the pantomime circuit after Jeanette's fall from a 10ft mechanical at Glasgow's Pavilion Theatre in 2004.

She shouldn't have been on him in the first place, no natter how tall he was, but as the piece makes clear they both had form in that area.

My own tastes in the bedroom are as middle-of-the-road as a Snow Patrol album track, but y'know, consenting adults and all that.

...why the tiny potato-faced molester-bait community should be denied access to the more Bacchanalian side of life. Although I've often wondered what their marriage and her alter ego might say about his proclivities.

Gah.

The Daily Mail's version of this story leads with a photograph of a prone, skinned Orville laying between the saucy pair.

I think this could be the tip of the iceberg. I fear the Blackpool seafront will rock with sordid revelations for months to come.

has just taken its place alongside bonking on my list of unappetising euphemisms.

Reminds me of the classic letter to Viz magazine. It went something like...

"I've been having sexual fantasies about Jimmy Krankie. Now I don't know whether I'm heterosexual, homosexual or a paedophile."

I can honestly say that I have always found The Krankies deeply disturbing. They freaked me out as a child and they freak me out now. I really wish they'd go away.

Is it physically possible to unread something?

I need to know.

They're a good old fashioned turn, and real troopers. I'm reliably informed by a Scottish pal that they do excellent Panto. They came across very well in that series Louis Theroux did a few years back. Thoroughly down to earth and entirely comfortable with, and grateful for their place in the world of light entrainment (i.e. At the end of the pier). Compare to Keith Harris who clearly thought he was entitled to his own prime time series and let it eat away at him.

I find the title of the post and some of the comments above a bit dispiriting. Presumably there wouldn't be this degree of revulsion if the subject matter had been Brad Pitt and Angelina Jolie.

The Krankies had sex in unusual places and maintained some kind of open relationship, while at the same time sustaining a romantic and working partnership that has lasted almost their entire adult lives.

Good for them. I hope they had and continue to have a bloody good time. I hope that the sex is amazing and that they have few regrets.

Ban this sick filth now!

In the original radio broadcast it all seems to be a bit of a giggle

I haven't eaten since I read this.I wonder if Little Jimmy kept his uniform on?

Sorry that image is just too disturbing.

says more about some of the posters' neuroses than the Krankies' stage act. Like Alan Partridge and ladyboys.

It reminds me of a colleague who went ghostly pale when I offered the opinion that another male colleague was very good-looking. It was as if agreeing with me might turn him gay.

The concept of dressing up to do a stage show (it's called acting, I believe) and leading a normal life off-stage (or even an eyebrow-raising one in this case) seems to have passed you all by.

I find Britney Spears dressed as a schoolgirl, in a sexually provactive way, far more unpleasant than wee Jimmy Krankie.

The Krankies and a huge knob

I won't come back to this thread its too weird

with the thought of John Major and Edwina Currie at it like knives.

The latest Popbitch.

The horror, the horror.
