The news was first reported by The Times, with 11 sketches having reportedly been cut. The series, which starred David Mitchell and Robert Webb, ran for four seasons between 2006 and 2010.
The show often featured sequences of the actors playing themselves, discussing previous sketches. One of these, following the sketch of Mitchell in a burqa, saw Webb questioning the sketch, asking: "Aren’t we just taking the p**s out of people’s sincerely held beliefs?"
Mitchell then removed the burqa and was seen to be wearing blackface underneath.
That Mitchell and Webb Look isn't the first series to have been edited for streaming platforms in recent years.
In 2022, the series was returned to the platform with sketches featuring blackface removed.
Meanwhile, Mitchell and Webb's sitcom, Peep Show, was edited on Netflix in 2020, to remove a scene in which Webb's character Jez, reluctantly wears blackface, as his girlfriend Nancy, played by Rachel Blanchard, provokes him to push boundaries and break 'taboos'.
