**Warning: Contains major spoilers for Professor T season 3 episode 6, which is available now on ITVX and airs at 9pm on Wednesday 1st May on ITV1.**<\/strong><\/p>\n

Before Professor T season 3 arrived on our screens, Barney White, who plays DS Dan Winters, warned viewers to \u201cbe prepared\u201d for turbulence ahead. But nothing could have prepared us for what the finale would bring.<\/span><\/p>\n

There were two huge moments, the first being Jasper\u2019s discovery about the death of his father.<\/p>\n

The professor (Ben Miller) had always believed that his dad had killed himself, but in a dramatic turn it emerged that his mother Adelaide (Frances de la Tour) had hit him over the head to protect her son during one of her husband\u2019s drunken outbursts.<\/p>\n

Speaking exclusively to RadioTimes.com<\/a> about the reveal, Miller said: \u201cIt\u2019s huge. It\u2019s seismic because he realises that his mother made a huge sacrifice for him and that he\u2019s completely got her wrong, really.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cI think children do sort of have to put the blame somewhere and often they put the blame on the nearest parental figure. But he\u2019s suddenly realised that all the resentment he\u2019s had against his mother is completely unfounded and he\u2019s had a completely false impression of what her motives are.\u201d<\/span><\/p>

Miller went on to discuss how his character has evolved over the course of three seasons in light of what he now knows about his mother.<\/p>\n

\u201cI think when you\u2019re trying to bring about big psychic change within yourself, often the first steps feel quite easy,\u201d he said. \u201cTo step through the door is quite easy, what\u2019s harder is to stay there where it\u2019s uncomfortable, where you\u2019re defenceless.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe first season, clearly something deep within him really, really wants to get to the truth. That\u2019s the reason for moving back into the abandoned house that they have in Cambridge.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cAnd it\u2019s partly his reason for getting involved with the police again, because it\u2019s bringing him into reality, and the whole show is about somebody who\u2019s hermetically sealed from reality trying to break out of their prison and join humanity. So it\u2019s a massive journey.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
