An interview with TV and film heartthrob Idris Elba was thrown into chaos on The One Show, with host Alex Jones joking about the sound problems.

Alex was interviewing Luther star Idris, 50, via a video link-up about his new film Luther: The Fallen Sun. Idris is returning in the role of former Detective Chief Inspector John Luther in a movie version of the hit psychological crime thriller TV series Luther.

He is slipping back into his signature overcoat for the iconic role that won him a Golden Globe and four Emmy nominations. In the film, haunted by an unsolved murder, brilliant but disgraced London police detective Luther breaks out of prison to hunt down a sadistic serial killer.

There was excitement as Idris joined Alex with co-host Alex Scott on Wednesday night (March 1) to speak about Luther's big-scale comeback coming to Netflix on Saturday, March 10.
