(No spoilers ahead for the new series of Luther, promise!)
SERIES FOUR OF Luther kicked off this month on the Beeb, with the opening episode leaving many reeling. Like we said, no spoilers, but clowns are cancelled in 2019 (as if they weren’t before this.)
Listen, if it’s too dark for you, fear not. Big man John Luther himself, Idris Elba, has a significantly less gritty series coming to Netflix in March.
Turn Up Charlie sees Idris take up the role of Charlie (as you’d imagine), a struggling DJ and eternal bachelor who becomes nanny to his famous best friend’s, eh, “difficult” daughter, played by Frankie Hervey.

Anyone else good in it?
Remember Coyote Ugly? What am I talking about, of COURSE you remember the movie with one of the greatest soundtracks of all time. Anyway, Piper Perabo – star of said genre-defining movie – is in it.
