How quality is this show? Its the funniest show on TV. The Bee Gees were amazing but by far the funniest is U2. Bono can't do an Irish accent and spends his spare time "surfing the interweb" The Edge also surfs the web but only "to see all the nudey women and to play games". Fantastic!
this show is hilarious! Matt Lucas and David Walliams are superb at sending up famous pop acts, but giving each one a surreal twist. The Bee Gees and the Happy Mondays are my favourites, but they are all excellent. 'Hi, Bobby and Mike from 'The Fizz'here....you've been stealing our songs...see you in court!!!' Utterly inspired stuff!
This brilliantly done program deserves more than to be shown at 10pm on UK Play. They have done some top quality send-ups of famous bands and then they show videos of the band with ridiculous off the wall comments and small talks with other bands/people commenting on the rock profile. My favourites at this being Jo Whiley (`get with it RP!'), Howard (from Take That always offering his services), Gary Barlow (`hi you fat tossers'), and Lou Reed (`Thur'). My favourite of the rock profiles so far has definitely been Steps, just hilarious, this episode particularly displayed Jamie Theakston's impeccable timing and delivery. Other notable favourites include The Bee Gees, The Minogue's, Blur and the Chemical Brothers. The only one I have ever not enjoyed is Elton John, but anyway, great show.
That Lou Reed impersonation is bizarre. "Thur". Jo Whiley is genius though. "Two fingers up to you, Rock Profile". I also think Jamie Theakston is showing a remarkable aptitude for comedy, and gets plenty of good lines.
I wish there were more actual song spoofs, the Blur one was spot-on.
Magic show.

This is one of the greatest comedy shows ever. You have to look out for a few really special episodes like the Duran Duran Duran one and Blur one, but look out especially for the Happy Mondays one. It is the funniest thing ever, especially Bez's story about the complications with their record deal. In this one Bez has a keen interest in jazz and the theatre, whereas Shaun seems to enjoy playing scrabble. Shaun also uses language which is supposedly Mancunian, such as 'Hes the boomshakalak to the boomshakalak' and hes 'a sucky not a chewy'. Brilliant

Graham Coxon: I don't like television, too much colours and movement, it's too busy for me. Also, sometimes there's people on it and you don't know whether they're on television or if they're in a room with you but they're just small.
