When he's not taking down criminal overlords or hunting serial killers, it turns out that the nation's favourite rugged cop enjoys a cup of Yorkshire Tea.

Luther has returned to our TV screens for a fifth season as he teams up again with Alice Morgan (Ruth Wilson) in a nail-biting story told across four episodes, with the finale to be shown on BBC One tonight (Friday).

But plenty of viewers in Yorkshire have noticed that DCI John Luther (Idris Elba) is partial to a cup of tea from God's Own County.

Yep, never mind the gritty and - let's fact it- terrifying storyline, some people poked their heads out from behind a cushion for long enough to notice this minor detail.

A scene in Luther's grubby kitchen shows a box of Yorkshire Tea nestled on the shelf behind him.

As expected, fans immediately took to social media to express their thoughts on Luther's Yorkshire link.

It's not the first high-profile drama where Yorkshire Tea gets a starring role.

It also appears in the first season of US TV series Homeland, when Carrie Matherson (Claire Danes) lets slip about Nicholas Brody's (Damian Lewis) love of Yorkshire Gold.

If Yorkshire Tea is good enough for Elba and Lewis, then it's definitely good enough for us!
