]]> Luther fans, your prayers have been answered – the husky-voiced detective is returning for a fifth series.

Idris Elba will once again don his tweed coat for the four-part season, which has been described as “utterly heart-stopping and unmissable”.

The crime drama was last on screens in December 2015, although Elba reprised the role for a Sport Relief sketch last March.

Filming will begin on the new series early next year.

After the fourth series there had been hopes it would live on as a big screen version, but a film never materialised.

Cast of Luther Sport Relief sketch
Elba revisited the role for a Sport Relief sketch which also featured the likes of Lenny Henry, Ian Wright, Rio Ferdinand, David Haye, Denise Lewis and Louis Smith

Co-creator and writer Neil Cross said: “It’s a question Idris and I get asked a lot. What happened to John Luther after we last saw him striding unbowed through the streets of his city, his blood red London?

“It can’t be over, can it? There’s so much we don’t know. So much unfinished business. The thing is, we’ve been asking ourselves the same question.

“In the end, we picked up the phone to some old friends and asked if they’d like to find out what happens next. It turns out, they would. So that’s what we’re going to do. We’re going to find out what happens next.”

Elba added: “Neil, the BBC and I have been talking about a further season and I am thrilled that we have been able to bring it all together.

“I look forward to putting the coat back on.”

]]> “Luther” and “The Wire” actor Idris Elba has offered fans a chance to “pound my yams” during a date with him to raise money for an African charity.

“Hi there. Idris Elba here. I’d like you to be my Valentine. That’s right love, just you and me, no one else around, just us,” he said in an online video.

The British star of west African origin is offering a fan and their guest a chance to share a meal with him at his undisclosed favourite restaurant.

“Once we’re feeling comfortable, we can order whatever your heart desires,” he says, quaffing champagne.

“Maybe some truffles, perhaps some steak. Pepper soup and fufu. That’s an African dish and you pound the yams. And you know what? I’ll let you pound my yams.

“And for dessert, you can have whatever you want, and I mean whatever you want.”

Bidding on the Omaze website ends on February 14, with the proceeds going to the W.E. Can Lead charity, which works to empower and educate girls throughout Africa.
