And it starts to crack and crumble really, and you start to see the person inside a little bit. And that\u2019s quite interesting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cAnd in other ways he\u2019s very resilient. He arrives at a crime scene just after a murder\u2019s been committed in the prison and he\u2019s completely fearless in pursuing the murderer, with almost no thought for his own safety or any consequences.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Miller added: \u201cSo, like all things Professor T, it\u2019s a bit of a mix. It\u2019s weirdly liberating for him being in the prison because he finally gets to break out of his own prison.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>Watch Miller in action below in an exclusive season 3 clip.<\/p>\n<script src=\"https:\/\/cdn.greenvideo.io\/players\/gv.js\" data-license-key=\"f0cf5e3e9068d9a4affa36d5c8962eaf1a0662ba\"\/> <div style=\"width:50%;min-height:100vh;overflow:hidden;aspect-ratio:16\/9;position:relative;\"> <style><![CDATA[ .gvtext1, .gvtext2 { animation-duration: 5s; animation-iteration-count: infinite; animation-direction: alternate; width:100%; } .gvtext1 { animation-name: gvtext1; } .gvtext2 { animation-name: gvtext2; } @keyframes gvtext1 { 0% { opacity: 1 } 47% { opacity: 1 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 100% { opacity: 0 } } @keyframes gvtext2 { 0% { opacity: 0 } 50% { opacity: 0 } 53% { opacity: 1 } 100% { opacity: 1 } } ]]><\/style> <div style=\"font-family:arial;font-size:smaller;position:absolute;height:100%;width:100%;background:rgb(208, 208, 208);border-radius:30px;display:flex;text-align:center;align-items:center;\"> <div class=\"gvtext2\" style=\"position:absolute;\"> Green Video Post Element <br\/>Video ID: \"f84512350b6fe413aaa97b4c8353dbcf018310de\" <br\/>Mix ID: \"\" <br\/>Player ID: \"Tw3-XowQ\" <\/div> <div class=\"gvtext1\" style=\"padding: 10px;\"> If the player doesn't appear here within a few seconds, the Player ID or Licence Key (set via IM Green Video settings) might be invalid. <\/div> <\/div> <green-video embed-id=\"Tw3-XowQ\" content-id=\"f84512350b6fe413aaa97b4c8353dbcf018310de\" mix-id=\"\"\/>\n<\/div> <p>Miller also told <strong>RadioTimes.com<\/strong> that they filmed inside a real prison, which he described as \u201ca really odd experience\u201d.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xxmsonormal\">\u201cThey were about to do some renovations, so up until a couple of weeks before we moved in, there were prisoners there,\u201d he said. \u201cAnd after we filmed, the prisoners were going to come back in, so it felt very real.<\/p>\n<p class=\"xxmsonormal\">He continued: \u201cAnd it\u2019s a really odd experience, spending a lot of time in a prison. You feel very moved for what people must go through being in there. It definitely made a difference to the filming.
