Idris Elba King of Speed documentary features Toyota 86
 

Idris Elba has come a long way since The Office. Seems he's also a petrolhead who respects car culture. My ninja.

Cool how he features the 86 in Episode 2. Not cool how he butchers DK's name... "This is Keiichi Toochewy."

Since the office? You do know he had a career way before the office, it was just a cameo really.

Great programs. The Beeb provides some really excellent content.

Thanks Muchly. Watched them both back to back.

You do know most people don't have an IMDb database in their head to know every actor's filmography since their breakout role, right? I first noticed him in The Office because network television is more widely accessed than HBO. At least it was in my household. Should everyone know what his debut role was (before The Wire) without looking it up?

Cool video

Thanks @switchlanez, really enjoyed this documentary

Good share! Enjoyed it!

Awesome, thank you!

thanks for sharing those videos!! they were cool to watch and I love Idris Elba (Stringer Bell) from the wire

thanks for sharing thesse. Idris elba is awesome, total boss in the wire and oz. Totally didn't realize he had an accent in real life

I had no idea Idris Elba was such a car enthusiast. Awesome. Idris is a badass actor.

I've heard of Idris Elba but only from Thor (Heimdall) and the new Mandela (Mandela) movie.

Great find - I love listening to anyone who truly loves motoring and is willing to learn and listen without ever getting preachy.

Learned a lot about cars today. Thanks!

Really good show. Very good substitute till Top Gear returns.

That was awesome. Ending was a little awkward, though, hahah.

Amazing Documentary.

Loved the show, and cant wait to see if any more are released in the future. Great watch, thanks OP!

It's almost to be assumed people would know, because he's an A-List actor in Hollywood.


So much emotion in the show though. Loved it!

Great show with a surprisingly interesting actor who I liked from "The Wire" and had no idea was English, great to know what a huge car guy he is :thumbsup:

Anyone have non-dead links to these videos?
