Would be most likely, but it's noticeable how many of his era (or younger) are already dead so could easily be one of those in their early 60's (Simon Russell Beale doesn't look too healthy)

 

Could we be seeing an OoO Theme Team next year?

 

There's still an awful lot of Peter Bowles' collaborators kicking around too. There's a team in that also.

So it was Nettleton. This Palin theme team is fast reducing way before the starting blocks.
