Warning! Contains mild spoilers from the first episode of ā€˜Lutherā€™ series five

TfL is going to have to think of a new PR strategy for the nightbus, after ā€˜Lutherā€™ destroyed the chances of anyone ever travelling on it again during its return on New Yearā€™s Day.

Fans of the BBC drama have vowed never to board the London service again, after a woman was killed by the showā€™s latest serial killer on it.

As the fifth series got underway, viewers were introduced to a masked assailant when DI John Luther began investigating a new string on murders in the capital.

However, in chilling scenes, the killer claimed his latest victim by hiding at the back of the top deck of a nightbus and waiting until a woman was alone to pounce on her.

It saw him pop up from behind the back row of seats and crawl along the bus floor like a ninja, before then brutally murdering her.

As the drama unfolded, it seemed no-one was particularly keen on stepping foot on a bus ever again...

Our favourite tweet, however, went to the person who suggested their newfound fear of bus journeys meant they couldnā€™t possibly return to work after the Christmas break.

Nice try.

ā€˜Lutherā€™ continues tonight at 9pm on BBC One.
