Last night Gumballer Idris Elba won his first Golden Globe for his performance in the BBC crime drama Luther.

Luther is a psychological crime drama television series starring Idris Elba as the title character Detective Chief Inspector John Luther.

Creator Neil Cross has said that Luther is influenced by both Sherlock Holmes and Columbo: the nature of Luther's intellect and its application to solving crimes is comparable to Holmes', whereas the show's use of the inverted detective format was inspired by Columbo.

Big congratulations from everyone at Gumball 3000 to Idris. He deserved to win, we should know, we were all gripped by the series.
