I don't agree. You have to have the most of your domain in your hands including DNS settings.
Any redirect from registrar side will end up as a duplicate content for search engines.

In this case I would disallow / in robots.txt file on .com domain and redirect everything else to .co.uk. (except robots.txt).
If you want .com in url and don't want simple frame solution you can install proxy module, but it is a bit more work to do.

Once you want .com as an independent domain you can lift redirections and robots ban without any consequences.
