The A Team

Here comes the A Team. According to Times, Hannibal Brown is going to push some talented people into the spotlight:

Mr Purnell, 37, Ed Balls, 40, his wife Yvette Cooper, 37, Mr Burnham 38, David Miliband 42, his brother Ed, 37, Ruth Kelly 39, and Douglas Alexander, 40, will be encouraged by Mr Brown to make an impression with the public and to show that they have radical ideas. “Their talents will be showcased,” an adviser said.

• James Purnell = Faceman Peck, for his love of Photoshop
• Ed Miliband = Howling Mad Murdoch (after his performance in PMQs last week)
• Ed Balls = B.A. Baracus, due to his air of barely-suppressed rage
• Yvette Cooper = Amy Amanda Allen, because she's a girl and has no other distinguishing characteristics we can hang a caricature on, yet
• Andy Burnham = the make-up artist
• Ruth Kelly and Douglas Alexander = extras
• David Miliband = Tim Dunigan (played Faceman Peck in two early episodes, but then....disappeared)
