Épisode 3 - Tom Jones and Shirley Bassey

7 janvier 2001

Both argue about who has had more success, and list their successful songs. Tom Jones (Walliams) keeps confusing celebrities who have complimented him; for example he believed that Elvis named him the best singer of his generation when it turned out to be Shakin' Stevens who made the comment. Shirley Bassey (Lucas) bears resemblance to Little Britain's Bubbles. (7 January 2001)

Épisode 4 - Elton John

14 janvier 2001

Elton (Lucas) is self-centred and abusive towards Theakston and David Furnish (Walliams). He appears to be unaware of world events, guessing the price of a loaf of bread is £80.

Épisode 5 - Duran Duran

21 janvier 2001

The band lose and change members with every new scene between the music played in the episode. They highlight their rivalary with Spandau Ballet, while correctly claiming they had no hits in the 1990s unlike themselves. Jamie however cannot recall "Ordinary World", despite all three members of the band singing it together, with Simon Le Bon (played by David Walliams), saying "Guitar solo" etc. for the instrumental parts of the song and "Repeat chorus". They even sing the fade-out, by repeating the last line over and over getting quieter each time they sing it. Simon Le Bon even says "Fade-out" before they sing the line, only for Jaimie to say he still doesn't know it. The version of "Ordinary World" they perform sounds like it is sung in an a capella style. (21 January 2001)

Épisode 6 - Steps

28 janvier 2001

The male members of Steps are again portrayed as children. They plan to launch a range of Steps merchandise including the 'Steps Knife'. They talk of their showbiz party in McDonald's and seemingly mock Theakston throughout the interview, referring to him as 'Jamie Squeakston'. (28 January 2001)

Épisode 9 - ABBA

Épisode 11 - U2

4 mars 2001

Bono (Walliams) is an irritating pompous Englishman, who loves to phone "Salman Rushton" for purely self-publicising reasons and can't understand why his bandmates persist in speaking with Irish accents. The Edge (Lucas), who seems to think his hat is actually hair, points out that it is because they're Irish. (4 March 2001)

Épisode 12 - Blur

11 mars 2001

Damon Albarn (Lucas) attempts to portray himself as a cockney with a working-class background; however it is clear that the interests he professes are unfounded, such as his nominal knowledge of football. Alex James is shown as confused about a lot of things, such as his sexuality and alcoholism. Graham Coxon (Walliams) is a terrifyingly deranged firestarter and Theakston can't think of anything interesting about Dave Rowntree (Lucas). At the end of the episode the band perform their "new single", which parodys the low-key Blur sound while Damon sings about his former girlfriend Justine Frischmann from the band Elastica, saying they are "crap" at the end of the chorus, before then going into an upbeat Blur style song, with Graham blocking his ears. The song then ends with a rendition of the Chitty Chitty Bang Bang theme song. (11 March 2001)

Épisode 13 - The Bee Gees

18 mars 2001

In allusions to the band's infamous appearance on the Clive Anderson show, the Bee Gees conduct a steely interview, whereby Barry (Walliams) is in charge and the others will only speak with his permission. Barry Gibb appears to resemble the Cowardly Lion from The Wizard of Oz. (18 March 2001)
