A Monty Python filmmaker says he could be forced out of the United Kingdom after his Thai wife’s visa was revoked by the Home Office.

Julian Doyle who’s worked on major Monty Python films including Life of Brian and the Holy Grail was notified yesterday his wife of four years, no longer has the right to remain in the UK.

The ruling gives 51-year-old Suki only 10 days to appeal or leave the country.

London-born Doyle, 79, has vowed to fight the decision which he’s described as ‘absurd’.

He said he will have to abandon his family and move abroad with Suki if she is kicked out of the UK.

Doyle said Suki’s visa was revoked on August 1 after she missed a filing deadline with her residency application.

The couple assumed the Home Office would overlook the error and appealed the ruling earlier this week. He said the error included a residency card being mistakenly converted into an e-visa.

In a European magazine article, Doyle outlined his thoughts saying the ruling was so ‘bizarre’ it could be the plotline to a new Monty Python movie.

‘If I were editing this story for the screen, I would probably cut it as too far-fetched,’ said Doyle.

‘I have spent my career trying to make the absurd believable. Editing Life of Brian, directing Kate Bush’s Cloudbusting, staging the madness of Iron Maiden’s Can I Play with Madness – my life has been defined by bringing the surreal to the screen.

‘Yet nothing in film has prepared me for the surrealism of Britain’s immigration system.

He started to question his existence along with his marriage when he went to renew her e-visa when the document said ‘PARTNER EXPIRED’.

‘Was I dead… was marriage over by administrative decree?’

The couple live on the Isle of Wight with their daughter and grandchildren.

Mr Doyle said he will continue to fight the appeal and refuses to abandon his wife even if they do lose.

‘We are loving partners for the rest of our lives and if this means setting up a new life in another country, so be it.’

Doyle said he’s contributed millions of pounds into the UK through his work in film, music videos and culture projects but despite this is astounded he now faces the prospect of selling their family home and having to move country.

The pair plan on moving to Spain if they lose their appeal where Doyle’s brother lives and where Suki already holds a visa.

‘In the end, perhaps this is the only way I can process what is happening: as a continuation of the absurdist tradition I once helped shape.’

‘But as we set sail, with our dog and all our belongings from the Isle of Wight, at least I will do so knowing that even in the darkest moments, comedy is still the best way of telling the truth.’

‘A man who worked closely with the creators of the ‘Spanish Inquisition’ sketch from Monty Python’s Flying Circus now receives his own letter of expulsion from the Home Office? It writes itself.

‘But beyond the comedy is a more serious reflection on the country I love. Britain’s culture – its humour, its imagination, its very brand abroad – has been built on creativity, on bending rules and reinventing forms.’

‘Yet the system that now defines our future here is mechanical, unforgiving, humourless.’

The Home Office has been contacted for comment.
