Here is a list of episodes in Matt Lucas and David Walliams' comedy show Rock Profile.
| Title | Overview | Original air date | ||
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Happy Mondays | Drugged-out Shaun Ryder (Walliams) and classically trained dancer and musical star Bez (Lucas) discuss their roots, daily living routine and a rather nice package holiday they went on. | 24 December 2000 | ||
| Take That | A Take That reunion is planned at Gary Barlow's room at the YMCA. While waiting for the others, Barlow, Theakston and Howard Donald play the Take That board game. It seems only Barlow and Howard Donald will attend until Robbie Williams (Paul Putner) arrives at the party, prompting a game of Pass the Parcel. The party is a let down and ends with Gary shouting at Theakston and Williams. | 31 December 2000 | ||
| Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey | Both argue about who has had more success, and list their successful songs. Tom Jones (Walliams) keeps confusing celebrities who have complimented him; for example he believed that Elvis named him the best singer of his generation when it turned out to be Shakin' Stevens who made the comment. Shirley Bassey (Lucas) bears resemblance to Little Britain's Bubbles. | 7 January 2001 | ||
| Elton John | Elton (Lucas) is self-centred and abusive towards Theakston and David Furnish (Walliams). He appears to be unaware of world events, guessing the price of a loaf of bread is £80. His catchphrase is a petulant "Right! I'm leaving | ". Lucas later went on to interview Sir Elton in a sketch for a Comic Relief episode of Little Britain. | 14 January 2001 | |
| Duran Duran | The band lose and change members with every new scene between the music played in the episode. They highlight their rivalry with Spandau Ballet, while correctly claiming they had no hits in the 1990s unlike themselves. Jamie however cannot recall "Ordinary World", despite all three members of the band singing it together, with Simon Le Bon (played by David Walliams), saying "Guitar solo" etc. for the instrumental parts of the song and "Repeat chorus". They even sing the fade-out, by repeating the last line over and over getting quieter each time they sing it. Simon Le Bon even says "Fade-out" before they sing the line, only for Jaimie to say he still does not know it. The version of "Ordinary World" they perform sounds like it is sung in an a cappella style. | 21 January 2001 | ||
| Steps | The male members of Steps are again portrayed as children. They plan to launch a range of Steps merchandise including the 'Steps Knife'. They talk of their showbiz party in McDonald's and seemingly mock Theakston throughout the interview, referring to him as 'Jamie Squeakston'. | 28 January 2001 | ||
| Bucks Fizz | The remaining male members of 'The Fizz' - Bobby G (Lucas) and Mike Nolan (Walliams) sit rancorous in a bedsit, seething with bile over the traitorous Jay Aston. "You know what it's like Jamie, you're walking down the street, you see an attractive girl and rip off her skirt...that's why the Fizz is always about. Danger, spontaneity, attitude. Don't forget we'd just had punk!" "Jay Aston, Jay Aston, Miss Jay Aston. Let me tell you about Jay Aston. When we first met her she was going nowhere. She was at Cambridge University studying to become a barrister or something. We sent her to the top with the Fizz…and then she quit | Jay Aston! Jay Aston quit the Fizz just as we were poised for global domination. Jay Aston ruined my life. Word of advice Jamie, don’t form a band with Jay Aston | " | 4 February 2001 |
| The Chemical Brothers and Air | The Chemical Brothers appear as desperately lonely figures, sitting mutated and socially incapable in their caravan, picking out which novelty LPs to put on at their next show. Air, meanwhile, are displayed as mysterious French philosophers living in a bizarre never-never land. | 11 February 2001 | ||
| ABBA | Benny and Björn believe their songs were very political, like that Dancing Queen was actually about communism. They get confused who was married to which and there is a short lived reunion. | 18 February 2001 | ||
| George Michael and Geri Halliwell | George (Walliams) returns for an interview after his first was hijacked by Andrew Ridgely. However, Geri Halliwell (Lucas) consistently interrupts and expresses her love for George, despite his assertions that he is gay. | 25 February 2001 | ||
| U2 | Bono (Walliams) is an irritating pompous Englishman, who loves to phone "Salman Rushton" for purely self-publicising reasons and cannot understand why his bandmates persist in speaking with Irish accents. The Edge (Lucas), who seems to think his hat is actually hair, points out that it is because they're Irish. | 4 March 2001 | ||
| Blur | Damon Albarn (Lucas) attempts to portray himself as a cockney with a working-class background; however it is clear that the interests he professes are unfounded, such as his nominal knowledge of football. Alex James is shown as confused about a lot of things, such as his sexuality and alcoholism. Graham Coxon (Walliams) is a terrifyingly deranged firestarter and Theakston cannot think of anything interesting about Dave Rowntree (Lucas). At the end of the episode the band perform their "new single", which parodies the low-key Blur sound while Damon sings about his former girlfriend Justine Frischmann from the band Elastica, saying they are "crap" at the end of the chorus, before then going into an upbeat Blur style song, with Graham blocking his ears. The song then ends with a rendition of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang theme song. | 11 March 2001 | ||
| The Bee Gees | In allusions to the band's infamous appearance on the Clive Anderson show, the Bee Gees conduct a steely interview, whereby Barry (Walliams) is in charge and the others will only speak with his permission. Barry Gibb appears to resemble the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz. | 18 March 2001 |
| Title | Overview | Original air date | |
|---|---|---|---|
| Peter Andre and Jordan | Dermot O'Leary interviews Peter Andre about his new Greatest Hits album and accompanying tour, which has one date in Crawley. Peter's wife, Jordan, then arrives asking why he's being interviewed without her, and spends the duration of the interview making fun of the size of his penis. Dermot then talks to Jordan about her new autobiography, which she then reads in its entirety. Peter and Jordan then discuss what they would ask the Queen, before Jordan proclaims she's written another book - this one a very risque children's book about a pony. | 4 February 2009 | |
| Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty | Dermot interviews Amy Winehouse and Pete Doherty about teaming up to release a new charity single together. Once he finally gets them talking, Amy can only call out for her husband, Blake, and Pete seems oblivious to his break-up with Kate Moss. They then spend the remainder of the part boasting about their drug taking exploits. Pete and Amy then appear to be in some confusion as to what an Anti-Drug campaign is, and the two perform their new single, which is revealed to be a cover of Grange Hill's 'Just Say No'. | 11 February 2009 | |
| Chris Martin and Gwyneth Paltrow | 18 February 2009 | ||
| Kerry Katona and Mark Croft | 25 February 2009 | ||

| Cheryl Cole and Nicola Roberts | Miquita Oliver stands in for Dermot to talk with the Girls Aloud members. Miquita talks to Cheryl about her past year, including climbing Mount Kilimanjaro for Comic Relief and her success on The X Factor. They discuss the other X Factor judges, and address Cheryl's supposed rivalry with Dannii Minogue, with Cheryl defending Dannii by saying "People forget that she had a top 20 hit in 1991, and she has Kylie Minogue's phone number". | 11 March 2009 |
