== Broadcast history == The first series was broadcast in 1999, comprising 13 episodes, on digital channel UK Play. The series was then picked up by BBC Two, with a second series of 13 episodes following in 2000. Series one was later shown on BBC Two. In November 2001, a special 45-minute episode of the series was broadcast, entitled ''[[Rock the Blind]]''. The episode followed [[Gary Barlow]] (Lucas) and [[Ronan Keating]] (Walliams) as they recorded a charity single. [[Ted Robbins]] appeared as [[Pete Waterman]], and [[Sara Cox]] as herself. Following the episode, the series saw a break of two years. In October 2001, several sketches were featured in the re-launch of ''[[Top of the Pops]]'', entitled ''The All-New Top of the Pops''. All of the sketches were filmed backstage, featuring characters which had appeared in the previous two series. People who were unaware of the show at the time did not understand the segments and complaints were made regarding the sketch with Lucas as [[Elton John]], where he was verbally harassed by an audience member. The sketch was subsequently cut from all future repeat screenings of the episode, it now can only be seen as an extra on the DVD release.{{citation needed|date=April 2020}} In 2009, a third series was recorded by Walliams and Lucas and was made available on the website [[Funny or Die]] for free viewing.<ref>{{cite web|url=http://www.broadcastnow.co.uk/news/2009/05/lucas_and_walliams_revive_rock_profiles.html|title=Lucas and Walliams revive Rock Profiles|work=broadcastnow.co.uk|accessdate=10 March 2015}}</ref> The third series replaced host Jamie Theakston with new host [[Dermot O'Leary]].
