Luther viewers were left heartbroken last (January 3) as the show killed off a beloved character.
The penultimate episode of season 5 saw DCI Luther (Idris Elba) and DS Halliday continue their pursuit of the killer and surgeon Jeremy, arresting his psychologist wife Dr Vivian Lake and freeing a kidnapped Penny in the process.
In the midst of the chase, however, was a paranoid Benny Silver (Michael Smiley) who was worried about George Cornelius sending over hitmen.
His worries were well-founded, as Cornelius sent Mr Palmer to kill Luther and Morgan, but instead ended up shooting DS Benny in the face. He didn't survive.
Luckily, in his final moments, Benny managed to reel off a detailed description of Mr Palmer.
Viewers were pretty distressed to see the fan-favourite go.
One traumatised viewer concluded: "Think we need a national holiday tomorrow to mourn Benny’s death."
Luther concludes on BBC One tonight (Friday, January 4) at 9pm.
