According to a column in the October 16th issue of The Daily Mail, Tim Brooke-Taylor will be appearing in a special Christmas edition of The Frost Report. 

Here's the article:

Frost needs a new Ronnie

Sir David Frost is looking for someone to replace the late Ronnie Barker to recreate the classic Sixties sketch where toff John Cleese looks down on middle-class Barker, who in turn looks down on working-class Ronnie Corbett.

Both Cleese and Corbett have been lined up for a special Christmas edition of The Frost Report, where the sketch originally aired, to mark the 40th anniversary of the show winning the Golden Rose of Montreux.

Frost tells me: "We are rounding up all the old gang including Corbett, Cleese, Michael Palin and Tim Brooke-Taylor. But some of the original team, like Marty Feldman and Peter Cook, are no longer with us."

It is perhaps just as well Cook will be absent. He famously described his one regret in life as saving Frost from drowning.
