But it was Ben Miller who was once again the main attraction.
There's very little humor involved in "Professor T," which is not to suggest that Jasper's autism is funny—or, for that matter, accurately portrayed—but for any drollery we must look to Frances de la Tour, as Jasper's hovering mother, and she's always a trip.
Professor T is so tonally odd it rarely comes close to being convincing. Neither did the rather sowhat case, which Professor T solved largely by observing people's body language.
The junior police detectives who require the Prof’s help are another weakness of this show, so bland as to be instantly forgettable. .... The script doesn’t know quite what to do with her [Tempest's mother] and she just pops up here and there, along with flashbacks to Tempest’s traumatic childhood. .... None of these elements fit neatly together.
