Brian True-May is set to leave ITVās Midsomer Murders after the conclusion of the current series.
Brian was recently suspended after remarking that āwhites onlyā are cast in the show.
Mr True-May made his comments during an interview with the Radio Times in which he said, āMaybe Iām not politically correct. We just donāt have ethnic minorities involved.
āIt wouldnāt be the English village with them. It just wouldnāt work.
āSuddenly we might be in Slough. Ironically, Causton [a town in the show] is supposed to be Slough and if you went into Slough you wouldnāt see a white face.
āWeāre the last bastion of Englishness and I want to keep it that way.ā
Production company All3Media, which makes the ITV1 crime drama, released a statement confirming that Brian will now be returning to the show. It said:
āBrian apologises if his remarks gave unintended offence to any viewers.ā
The Mirror claims that although he is being reinstated on the drama, True-May intends to leave again at the end of the current series and the paper quotes an ITV source as saying:
āWe welcome the apology and understand [True-May] will step down from his role on Midsomer Murders at the end of the current production run.ā
