Two Rons are out of order, say the KraysTELEVISION comics Hale and Pace have upset Kray Twins Ronnie and Reggie.
The caged East End killers reckon the comedians' routine on the Two Rons is a right liberty.
Ronnie, who is in Broadmoor, stormed: "They are well out of order.
"It's obvious they're taking the mickey out of Reg and me."
The former gang boss refuses to watch the duo's new TV show, The Management.
Denied
"They're trying to make me and Reg look like idiots," he raged.
"I'd like to know if they'd have the bottle to do their act if me and Reg were out. I doubt they would."
Reggie Kray had a go at the comedians in a letter smuggled out of Gartree prison.
He wrote: "Ron and I feel it is wrong that they should earn money at the expense of our adversity."
Norman Pace and his partner Gareth Hale have denied basing their act on the notorious twins, jailed for life for murder.
Gareth once emphasised: "We're not trying to take the mickey out of the Krays.
"The two Rons started when we picked up a couple of oversized dinner jackets and did a parody of the song Da Doo Ron Ron."
Ronnie Kray snarled: "We used to wear tuxedos - but we didn't go around acting like gangsters from a B-movie."
