Title: Professor T

Review: another in a long line of offbeat mysteries from PBS Masterpiece, the brilliant Ben Miller (Death in Paradise) plays Professor Jasper Tempest, a genius criminologist at Cambridge who has major OCD (wears gloves at all times) and an overbearing mother. He reluctantly (and often hilariously) assists the police in solving bizarre crimes. It is an adaptation from a Belgian TV series of the same name – but the original is not nearly as good without the eccentric Miller. A second season is already playing on the BBC but not yet on PBS. Miller makes it worth watching.
