That Mitchell and Webb Wiki
Advertisement

The Civil War reenactment sketch is a one-off sketch from Series 2, Episode 1. In it, Webb, as a Cavalier, complains to Mitchell, a Roundhead, about it being boring, as they always do the same thing. Mitchell then changes it to the government forces of the Democratic Republic of Congo (with Mitchell) against the rebel militiamen representing Sudanese tribal interests (with Webb). Webb then becomes worried that it is racist, but Mitchell assures him that it isn't, and will stop him if it becomes racist. When the reenactment starts, Webb shouts "I am going to kill you with this big machete!", in a mocking accent. Mitchell stops him, as "It's racist. Very, very racist." The reenacters go home.
