David Walliams and Matt Lucas bring back Rock Profile comedy sketch show for the Red Nose Day.
The former Little Britain stars will transform into the famous father-daughter duo as part of their comedy sketch show Rock Profile in the one-off show.
Rock Profile, which was written by and starred Lucas, 48, and Walliams, 50, first aired in 1999 on UK Play before it moved to BBC Two in 2002.
The comedy show involved a series of spoof interviews where Jamie Theakston – playing himself – interviewed Lucas and Walliams as they portrayed different caricatures of well-known musicians.

What we know about David Walliams and Matt Lucas' Rock Profile sketch
Vernon Kay will take over Theakston’s original role and will be interviewing some famous faces who will be played by Lucas and Walliams.
The sketch is to take place at a recording studio as the interviewees prepare for the release of the Comic Relief single, a version of Whitney Houston’s The Greatest Love Of All.
Lucas and Walliams will take on the role of artists including Adele, Post Malone, Lady Gaga and Lewis Capaldi.
Speaking about the special, Lucas said: “It’s been really fun giving the Rock Profile treatment to a host of stars who weren’t even twinkles in our eyes when we first did the show nearly 25 years ago.”
Mr Walliams added: “It has been a blast working with Matt on Rock Profile again. I can’t wait for everyone to see our brand new characters.”
The third and final series of Rock Profile was made available in 2009 on the website Funny Or Die.
Theakston was replaced as host by Dermot O’Leary in the final series.

Mr Kay said: “I have been watching David and Matt’s sketches for as long as I can remember, so I am super excited to get to be part of one myself.
“Thankfully I will be playing myself in Rock Profile, so I’ll be saving David or Matt the embarrassment of attempting my accent.
“To be taking part all in the name of Comic Relief makes this even better, as the work they do is super important.
“If we can make a few people laugh and raise some money, then we have done our job. I can’t wait to see what David and Matt have in store for me.”
The Rock Profile special will air as part of The Red Nose Day night of TV on BBC One and BBC iPlayer on March 18 at 7pm.
