Rock Profile is a British television comedy show written by and starring comedy partnership Matt Lucas and David Walliams, both later widely known for the sketch show Little Britain. Rock Profile first appeared on the channel UK Play in 1999, before moving to BBC Two in 2000. 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.

19 episodes

"Rock the Blind" is a 45-minute special episode of Matt Lucas and David Walliams' Rock Profile. The episode followed the creation of a charity single for blind people, which was led by Gary Barlow (Lucas) and Ronan Keating (Walliams). Pete Waterman (played by Ted Robbins) produces. Gary Barlow leaves production halfway through because he believed Ronan lead him "on a wild goose chase". He tries to sink Ronan's career by explaining that they had stolen one of The Bee Gees tunes, when in fact, it was a cover. Afterwards, he tries to create his own charity single with John McCririck.
