Little Britain stars offer Funny Or Die originals

Little Britain stars Matt Lucas and David Walliams have recorded their first original web sketches for Funny Or Die, the comedy portal founded in the US by Will Ferrell and which they have brought to the UK.

Lucas and Walliams will appear as a series of stars including Chris Martin, Gwyneth Paltrow, Amy Winehouse and Peter Doherty for a revival of Rock Profiles, a show that ran on the now defunct digital channel UK Play almost 10 years ago.

The Little Britain duo took a stake in Funny Or Die last autumn as part of the launch of a UK version of the site, with comedy producer Hat Trick Productions also on board. While excerpts from Little Britain USA have already appeared on the site, Rock Profiles marks their first original sketches and will get their debut next Monday.
