Ludwig

Channel: BBC Brit (DStv 120)
TX Time: 20h00
Genre: Comedy-Drama

Ludwig

Puzzle setter John 'Ludwig' Taylor (David Mitchell) sees his life of solitude turned upside down when his identical twin brother, James, disappears without a trace.

In a quest to track James down and bring him home, Ludwig assumes his brother's identity - but by taking over every aspect of James's life, Ludwig is forced to confront his own issues.

Unlike Ludwig, James is no hermit. Far from it, in fact. He's a family man who also just happens to be DCI of a busy inner-city major crimes team.

For Ludwig, these are big shoes to fill, and playing dad to a ready-made family proves every bit as challenging as tackling the grisliest of crime scenes.

But Ludwig has one big advantage: his ability to see the world in puzzle form.

Can this master of all things cryptic crack his biggest puzzle yet?

In the series premiere: Puzzle setter John 'Ludwig' Taylor's life of solitude is upended when his identical twin, DCI James Taylor, disappears.

Drafted in by his sister-in-law Lucy (Anna Maxwell Martin), John reluctantly assumes his brother's identity as a detective in the Cambridge Police Authority in order to find clues to his brother's whereabouts.

John is tasked with infiltrating the major investigations team, gathering information and solving a completely unconnected murder, all whilst remaining in character as his brother.

A difficult ask for anyone, let alone a reclusive puzzle-setting genius who rarely leaves the house.
