Rather than risk another cover-up, Brian passes on a taped confession by the senior officer to Kaye's mother, which in turn forces Strickland to fire Brian. He at last proves that three policemen in charge of the custody suite, whose failure to check on Kaye allowed him to die from drug-related complications, then conspired to pin blame on the arresting officer, Brian. In the opening story of Series 10, Brian assaults the last serving officer that he believes to be involved in the conspiracy following Kaye's death, in a final effort to achieve justice. A keen war-gamer, in one episode he digs out his old board and figurines and wins a tournament. Brian is an AFC Wimbledon fan, and he once missed a celebratory drink with his UCOS mates to support his team.

In Series 5, following Jack's temporary disappearance and several bad experiences on cases, Brian resumes drinking, and attends Alcoholics Anonymous meetings again. He maintained that it was a conspiracy against him his colleagues believed that he simply refused to admit his own mistake. Brian left the force under a cloud, having been held partly responsible for the death of Anthony Kaye, a prisoner in his custody at the height of his alcoholism. He frequently uses underhanded methods to access private records, and his bizarre behaviour when gathering information or testing out theories tends to get him into trouble. Brian is socially inept and eccentric, a recovering alcoholic with obsessive-compulsive personality disorder. He is married to long-suffering but caring Esther they have an adult son called Mark.
