Rock the Blind

Rock the Blind

"Rock the Blind" was a 45-minute special episode of Matt Lucas and David Walliams' "Rock Profile". The episode followed the creation of a charity single for blind people, which was lead by Gary Barlow (Lucas) and Ronan Keating (Walliams). Pete Waterman (played by Ted Robbins) produces. Gary Barlow leaves production halfway through because he believed Ronan lead him "on a wild goose chase". He tries to sink Ronan's career by explaining that they had stolen one of The Bee Gees tunes, when in fact, it was a cover. Afterwards, he tries to create his own charity single with John McCririck.
