BBC One has announced the commission of a new post-watershed audience sitcom created, written by and starring stand-up comedian Jason Byrne.
Even in a modern entertainment world where America, France and even Denmark are routinely exporting excellent psychological police thrillers as if there’s a NATO surplus, Neil Cross has proved with this show that British television hasn’t forgotten how to make them either.
In the final instalment of Series 2, DCI John Luther has to balance resolving the desperate dilemma that his concern for Caroline and Jenny Jones has led him into with stopping the destructive violence of two twins whose competitive spirit is only matched by their capacity for chaos.
One of the (many) great things about Luther is the bad guys. Despite their diabolical schemes and vicious acts of mass murder, they’re not bald-headed men in secret lairs. Instead, they’re frighteningly ordinary-looking young men.
In the third instalment of Luther’s new series, DCI Luther is faced with a man committing acts of horrible brutality and wanton destruction, seemingly at random, while DS Gray becomes ever more concerned about the integrity of her superior officer.

In the second instalment of Luther’s new series, featuring Idris Elba as DCI John Luther, serial killer Cameron Pell has taken a police officer hostage – but what is the deranged former art’s student’s real plan?
‘It’s all very soul destroying, isn’t it – actual police work?’ remarks DCI John Luther to his protégé DS Justin Ripley at the beginning of Episode 1 of this new series.
