Ludwig

Filming begins as David Mitchell turns reluctant sleuth in comedy-drama Ludwig

David Mitchell, in character as John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor, stands on a bridge in Cambridge, behind which is the famous Bridge of Sighs

Each hour-long episode follows Mitchell’s character, John Taylor, as he assumes the identity of his missing twin brother James in an effort to track him down. A shut-in with no spouse or kids, John has his work cut out for him pretending to be James, the busy Detective Chief Inspector heading up Cambridge’s inner-city major crimes unit.

Thankfully, John has his experience designing puzzles under the pseudonym ‘Ludwig’. Will his brother’s disappearance prove a mystery too cryptic?
