ITV has commissioned six-part smart crime drama Professor T starring Ben Miller and Frances de la Tour from newly formed production company, Eagle Eye Drama, launched by the same team behind global drama brand Walter Presents.

Emerging star Emma Naomi who is currently appearing on the London stage in Blithe Spirit, takes up the role of Detective Inspector Lisa Donckers with rising star Barney White cast as her police sidekick Dan Winters.
The series will be directed by leading Belgian director, Indra Siera, and will be filmed in Belgium and Cambridge during the summer of 2020. Eagle Eye Drama aims to create another household name to add to ITV's roster of renowned detectives and returnable crime series.
