Ludwig - Bbc1

[naomi24]

With David Mitchell, a reclusive puzzle setter with an extraordinarily analytical  mind.  A bit 'Jonathan Creek' and eminently enjoyable.

Watched it all over two nights, excellent.

My only quibble is the 15 year old giant who goes to his room when told. 😂

We are binging on Line of Duty repeats, half way through series 5, and will be watching Ludwig later.  Great cast. We enjoyed Creek, too.

Yes, I've only seen the first episode so far. I loved it.

Doubt I'll ever watch that show Naomi, but thanks for educating me who the cryptic crossword setter DM is.

I would never have guessed🤔

But I do enjoy his clues

we watched it all over 2 nights too.

its a bit of suspend disbelief, but what isnt :)

i love anna maxwell-martin in it too

I'd love to know what David Mitchell is like in real life, I suspect he is very different from his screen persona

[Patsy33]

I like David Mitchell and keep meaning to watch

[pastafreak]

I'll have to watch this. I saw the ads for it and it looked different and intriguing.

Ideal for David Mitchell, as he doesn't have to do any acting - he's the same in everything :)

Having said that, I'm willing to suspend my disbelief as it's a pleasant way to spend an hour, but the solution to the murders isn't as clever as it thinks it is.  Last night the perpetrators knocked down then rebuilt and re-papered a wall?

Also, where did the wife of the missing brother get the blown-up photos of his main police officer colleagues in the first episode, and how did she manage to get John contact lenses within a day?!

Express Vision Express?

[MargoTester]

I'm enjoying it, old fashioned detective story with a bit of a twist and no violence and swearing - makes a pleasant change. David comes across very much as he does on Would I Lie to You

[brainiac]

Yes, Margo, that's because no acting is required :)

[MargoTester]

Yes exactly
