Ben Miller is no stranger to successful crime drama, having been the first detective to take the reigns in the BBC’s long running Death in Paradise. Professor T, though, sees Miller take on the role of Professor Jasper Tempest, a Cambridge Criminologist grappling with OCD and an overbearing mother (Frances de la Tour) who uses his skills to assist the police in all manner of criminal cases.
The end of season 2 saw Tempest arrested for firing an unlicensed gun in a police station while protecting his old flame DCI Christina Brand (Juliet Aubrey). Season 3 finds him incarcerated and struggling with both prison conditions and his fellow inmates. Elsewhere, there’s a change in leadership at the police station with new boss DCI Maiya Goswami (Sunetra Sarker) entering the picture and there’s also the promise of more light being shed on the mystery around the circumstances of Jasper’s father’s death.

What can we expect from Professor T season 3?
The official ITV synopsis reads: "Professor T (Ben Miller) finds himself in unfamiliar surroundings banged up in prison after the explosive finale to series two saw him trying to defend his old flame DCI Christina Brand (Juliet Aubrey).
In this series both their careers are on the line, and both have momentous decisions to make. Will Christina allow Jasper to incriminate himself to save her career or will her conscience and the formidable duo of his mother Adelaide (Frances de La Tour) and his therapist Dr Helena (Juliet Stevenson) get the better of her?
The Professor struggles in prison – the hostile, dirty and noisy environment plays havoc with his OCD plus he is a curiosity among the inmates. But his brilliant criminal mind will soon be put to good use by some of the less than brilliant criminals he finds himself surrounded by.
Again, the police will need the Professor’s analysis and insight to help them solve a series of intriguing crimes. Within the police there’s also been a shift in power as Lisa Donckers (Emma Naomi) enjoys a promotion. There is also a new boss in the police station, DCI Maiya Goswami (Sunetra Sarker) who takes over from DCI Christina Brand, her style of management is abrasive and direct and very different to her predecessor’s.
For the young detectives, Lisa and Dan, their relationship seems to be finally getting on track but a tragic turn of events will blow them apart.
This series will also finally reveal what happened the night a young Jasper found his father hanging. How involved was his mother Adelaide and what did she really know about her husband’s death? With the help of his therapist, Jasper finally manages to piece together his memories of the events despite Adelaide and the Dean’s attempts to shield him from the devastating truth."
Is Professor T a remake?
The UK iteration of Professor T is adapted from a Belgian crime drama of the same name which starred Koen De Bouw as Jasper Teerlinck (Professor T).
