Rock Profile was a British television comedy show written by and starring comedy partnership Matt Lucas and David Walliams (both now widely known for the sketch show Little Britain). Rock Profile first appeared on the UK Play channel in 1999 with a second series following in 2000. A further six-episode series was aired on BBC2 in late 2001.
The show comprises a series of spoof interviews, involving Jamie Theakston questioning Lucas and Walliams, who play famous musicians. The interviews are often bizarre and involve broad, unflattering caricatures or just downright fictional characteristics. They are often interspersed with videos by the featured artist, including humorous captions and congratulations from other impersonated celebrities.
A special, Rock the Blind, followed Gary Barlow (Lucas) and Ronan Keating (Walliams) as they recorded a charity single. Ted Robbins appears as Pete Waterman, and Sara Cox as herself.
