Idris Elba and sports stars in Luther | Comic Relief

[@meccamodai]

I love when serious actors do comedy. For any Luther fans this was pure comedy.

[@Paddy.C]

Idris did a season on 'The Office' (USA), so he knows his way around a comedy script.

[@Houmatt]

And the icing on the cake is it was written by Neil Cross, the creator of Luther. I seriously did not know he had that in him.

[@pioneer_1148]

"mummy" sounds histerical in Idris's badass voice

[@letsgobrandon2235]

Serious? 🤣

[@321edhp]

Yep

[@megalosauru]

Best bit is Luther's family all being terrified of Alice. As they should be.

[@alondathomas293]

LOL, I only enjoyed this because I like the show Luther, and watched about a season or two before it before PBS dropped it. This was funny---btw, does anyone know if Luther is still on or is it done? I haven't heard jack about it in ages, it seems. It also struck me that as good a dramatic actor as he is, Elba really hasn't done a lot of comedies---the only one I could think of was Rock 'N Rolla---he should, because he does come off as a naturally funny dude anyway, and this prove it,lol.

[@kevinrose4975]

Luther is London's Dark Knight, and Alice is his Catwoman.
