You might know actor Idris Elba as the bloke that cancelled the apocalypse in last year's cinema blockbuster Pacific Rim, or you might have seen him guarding the gates to Asgard in the Thor films.

Now you'll know him as a lifelong revhead, thanks to his new documentary series King of Speed, launched in December.
Developed with the UK's government-funded BBC network, the series will see Elba exploring his own love for speed, and finding out what drives other figures in the motoring and racing worlds.
