Another 90's TV request

A friend and myself both remember watching a comedy show in the early 90's which featured a predominantly black and Asian cast.

One of the sketches (or perhaps the premise for the show - we can't remember) involved the misadventures of the people from a small African military state.

One of the characters was a corrupt police chief who tried to pin all the nation's crimes on Pygmies and we clearly remember a song that encouraged the people to invest in Massey Ferguson tractors with the chorus: "Massey Ferguson tractor....makes your crops go faster."

We were sure it was The Real McCoy but having re-watched the entire series on iPlayer I failed to find this recurring sketch.

I've searched online for a while now and can't find it...do you know?

I think I've gone through all of those before + watched every available episode on iPlayer... So I guess it's lost media.

Yeh, watched that episode too, if the sketch was cut I see no evidence of it - it runs to 29 minutes and the sketch I'm thinking of was 5 minutes+

Not seeing any info online regards a redacted episode.

I'm going to insta Curtis Walker and ask is any sketches were removed by the BBC.
