There's a new crime drama heading our way and it's all about Professor T.
Set to the backdrop of Cambridge University, the new series centres around the eccentric, but brilliant, Criminology Professor Jasper Tempest.
Professor T suffers with OCD and has a tortured past. But while thinking his interest in crime is purely academic, the lecturer becomes a reluctant detective, solving crimes in Cambridge and beyond.
ITV has said of the next six-part drama: "In the opening episode, our protagonist finds himself unwillingly caught up acting as an advisor to the police; his interest in crime is purely academic. Diana Tyson was violently attacked on the university campus where Professor T has tenure.
"DI Lisa Donckers suspects that the assault is very similar to one that occurred years beforehand, and, having been a previous student of Professor T’s, she thinks he can help.
"Although a valuable contributor to the police force, people that don’t know Jasper very well, struggle with his behavior. Professor T’s relationship with the world often leads him to daydreams and fantasies about the people around him, and the viewer is privy to these wonderful and quirky sequences."
Ben Miller leads the cast as Professor T and viewers will recognise him from a whole host of TV shows and films.
The actor most recently starred made a brief return to Death in Paradise, in which he played DI Richard Poole in the first two series and played Lord Featherington in Netflix hit Bridgerton.
Other credits include Johnny English, Primeval, The Armstrong & Miller Show, and Sticks and Stones.
Professor T also stars Andy Gathergood, who recently appeared in The Salisbury Poisoning, Sarah Woodward of Queens of Mystery, and Safe and Marcella star Ben Onwukwe.
Downton Abbey's Douglas Reith and Snatch actress Juliet Aubrey also appear in the series.
Tony award-winning actress Frances de la Tour, known for roles in Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire and The History Boys, takes the role of Jasper’s colourful, but overbearing mother Adelaide.
Also, emerging star Emma Naomi, who also appeared in Bridgerton, will star alongside rising star Barney White.
The six-part ITV drama, which is based on the hit Belgian series of the same name, was filmed in Belgium and Cambridge.
