ITV is cutting police drama, Rebus, from its scehdule after it was rumoured that actor Ken Scott did not want to return to the show.

An ITV spokeswoman said: “At this time there are no plans to make any further episodes of Rebus, but one-off specials are a possibility for the future.”

At the start of the new series Rebus is facing difficult times having been sent to Police Training College as a result of his behaviour.

Ken Stott explains: “He is isolated on all sides in this episode and he tests people’s patience to the limit. It’s rather interesting how his relationship with Siobhan goes onto a knife edge but that the bond they share is much greater at the end of the day.”

And Ken is proud of what they achieve in Resurrection Men, the first episode in the series.

“It’s a departure from formulaic principles. We do try to steer away from the ordinary on Rebus because much of television does comply with these principles.” Read more & comment »
