Midsomer Murders
EDM number 1612 in 2010-12, proposed by Keith Vaz on 16/03/2011.
Categorised under the topics of Broadcasting and Ethnic groups.
That this House notes with concern the comments of Brian True-May, the producer and co-creator of ITV's Midsomer Murders, in which he implied that the show would not be successful if it included ethnic minority characters; welcomes the action taken so far by ITV; further notes that there is no place for such attitudes in today's society and media; further welcomes ITV's work in integrating minorities into some of its programmes, such as Emmerdale; recognises the need for greater representation of ethnic minorities in television; and asks ITV and other broadcasters to continue to ensure programming is properly reflective of modern British society including in quintessential English villages.
This motion has been signed by a total of 9 MPs.
