Professor T will premiere on BritBox UK on Thursday June 3rd.
Based on the hit Belgian series of the same name, Professor T is set against the stunning backdrop of one of the world’s most prestigious educational institutions, Cambridge University.
The series follows the eccentric, but brilliant Criminology Professor Jasper Tempest, who suffers with OCD and has a tortured past.
The six episode drama, which was originally commissioned by ITV, stars Ben Miller (Death In Paradise), Frances de la Tour (Harry Potter And The Goblet Of Fire), Emma Naomi (The Trial Of Christine Keeler), Juliet Aubrey (Snatch), Andy Gathergood (The Salisbury Poisonings), Sarah Woodward (Quiz), Ben Onwukwe (Marcella) and Douglas Reith (Downton Abbey).
Professor T will also get a linear broadcast on ITV later this summer.

Oh! I didn't know there had been a remake of this. Ben Miller should be pretty good in the role. I hope the two detectives aren't as annoying as they are in the original. Especially the woman

When I read the description of the show, I thought it sounded like a British version of Monk.

There is a similarity to the character of Monk, but the crimes are far more intense than in Monk, and the filming of the original was really quite wild/surreal. I loved the original so might have to approach this with caution. I mainly worry that they won’t have the budget for the filming techniques where scenes can play out differently in Professor T’s head to what is actually going on, etc etc.

It's actually very good! They do include the surreal scenes and the female detective is less annoying. Ben Miller is playing it as a really intense version of his character in DiP. Which suits very well. And the Cambridge setting was a stroke of genius as nearly every professor is odd so he doesn't stand out as much as he would in Scotland Yard.

And definitely watch out for the cheerleaders!

It’s due to be shown on ITV shortly (or so the ads I’m seeing say). Looking forward to it.

Looking forward to it! Can we move the thread to the ITV section? Or start a new one?

Probably best to start a new one to avoid spoilers

Just binged the third series on ITVX. Very good. And one heck of a cliffhanger at the end. Had me in tears. Not totally unexpected as I knew something bad would happen to Lisa when accepted the ring. But still horrible.
