First
shown in 1999 with a further series in 2000,Rock
Profile was a British television show written by and starring comedy
partnership Matt Lucas and David Walliams.
The show is conceived as a series of spoof interviews involving Jamie Theakston
interviewing Lucas and Walliams playing famous musicians. The interviews are
often bizarre and involve broad, unflattering caricatures or just down-right
fictional characteristics.
Paul Putner appears in the second series as Robbie Williams and Phil Daniels (in
the Blur episode). Steve Furst plays Robin Gibb in the Bee Gees episode, and
David Foxxe plays Nick Rhodes in the Duran Duran episode.
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.
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.
