Parts of that have definitely not aged well.
The Rochdale training sequence is still hilarious though. 
The Nationwide section is funnier, but embedding for that video has been disabled. (updated - found it on another video)

I’ve changed the video, as I hadn’t spotted the part with minstrel looking boxer. That’s definitely not funny.

What are the odds of being mugged by a vegan?
surely that is a pork chop not bacon! Bacon is normally a few mm thick that looks about 1cm

It still is roughly that shape though. It’s what in the US we’d refer to as “back bacon”. Then there’s “Canadian bacon”, that comes from those weird cylindrical pigs they grow up there.

Bacon as a weapon. Who’d have thunk it. I’m now expecting it to be banned in the UK.

At that point, Mary Maloney simply walked up behind him and without any pause, she swung the big frozen leg of lamb high in the air and brought it down as hard as she could on the back of his head. She might as well have hit him with a steel bar.
She stepped back, waiting, and the strange thing was that he remained standing there for at least four or five seconds. Then he crashed onto the carpet.

That story would have been even better with bacon, but then isn’t everything?

But heart valves from pigs have successfully been used for xenotransplantation, so the two kind of cancel each other out.
