 'Is
everyone alright for nibbles?'
David and Matt have appeared in two series of 'Rock Profile' (UK Play,
'99, '2000), the second of which was nominated for both a Broadcast and
a Cable Guide award in 2001.
In each episode David and Matt impersonate various music celebrities
during spoof interviews with Jamie Theakston, skillfully drawing out the
characterisation so that each character is fully recognisable, if exaggerated.
