David Mitchell the saviour of TV comedy? I'd have laughed in your face - but it's true

Television has been so serious for too long. Enter the corduroy lifer from Peep Show - Ludwig is a delight.

Camilla Long, The Sunday Times, 29th September 2024

The week in TV: Ludwig

The more episodes I watched, the more I liked it.

David Mitchell reveals Ludwig link to wife's show Only Connect

"Alan Connor, a real puzzle-setter [who also worked as a question editor on Victoria Coren Mitchell's show Only Connect], designed all our devious puzzles and I understood as much as I needed to, in order to look like I understood them!"

Caren Clark, What To Watch, 27th September 2024

Ludwig review

Stick with this detective drama - David Mitchell is perfectly cast as a loveable amateur sleuth.

Chris Wasser, The Independent (Ireland), 26th September 2024

Ludwig review

David Mitchell's clever detective might just be a match for Morse.

Roland White, Daily Mail, 26th September 2024

Ludwig review

It's been commissioned out of the BBC's comedy department, but Ludwig falls into the same category of charming whodunits as Death In Paradise or Father Brown - both of which writer Mark Brotherhood cut his teeth on - which would normally be categorised as drama.

Ludwig review

Like watching Peep Show's Mark join the police force.

Lucy Mangan, The Guardian, 25th September 2024

Ludwig review

If you like Thursday Murder Club, you'll love this abject pap from David Mitchell.

Louis Chilton, The Independent, 25th September 2024

Ludwig review

David Mitchell's cosy cryptic crime series is a comedy triumph.

Anita Singh, The Telegraph, 25th September 2024

Ludwig review

The stakes are low with David Mitchell's code-cracking introvert.
