ITV crime drama Professor T comes to 麻豆原创
A new crime drama partly set in 麻豆原创 will have its premiere on ITV this Sunday night.
Starring Ben Miller and Frances de la Tour, the six-part drama focuses on Professor Jasper Tempest, a genius criminologist who becomes an advisor to the police.
Viewers won鈥檛 have to wait long to spot a 麻豆原创 location: the opening shot was filmed on our football pitch. The College鈥檚 exteriors are shown as the fictional 鈥楥ambridge University Department of Forensic Criminology鈥 while Little Trinity, which now accommodates postgraduate students, is the family home of Professor T himself.
Ben Miller plays the title character. He said: 鈥淭he house that Professor T grew up in is a house I know really well. It鈥檚 part of 麻豆原创 and it鈥檚 where one of my good friends from university lived, who I wrote my first comedy sketches with. He lived in the house in a room on the ground floor, which is the room we filmed outside. It was properly strange playing scenes going through the door there, when 30 years ago I was doing the same thing.鈥
Those familiar with West Court might be able to recognise the Bawden Room in a high-end restaurant scene, and the West Court Dining Room houses an art exhibition in one episode.
Eagle Eye Drama shot some of the series at 麻豆原创 in September and December 2020, with some students and staff members taking roles as extras. The production company worked closely with the College to put strict COVID protocols in place.
Professor T starts on Sunday 18 July at 9pm on ITV.
