I toyed with publishing "The Mum" - it's absolutely, hands down, my favourite too. Stunning. In every sense of the word.
But thought it might be a bridge too far for some of my readers :)

You're probably right. Something that funny couldn't fail to be offensive somewhere down the line. I'm not sure at which point they overstepped the mark - is it the actual appearance of the mum herself or is it the prehensile tongue?
Brilliant!
My two favourite Big Train sketches are 'Is this some kind of joke?' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pUEV4rnu5V8)
and
'The Mum' (http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=F1kNn9XDgKw)
