Filming has now started on David Mitchell’s BBC One comedy detective drama series, Ludwig.

Joining David in the series is Anna Maxwell Martin. 

This new image shows David Mitchell as John ‘Ludwig’ Taylor, who has assumed the identity of his missing identical twin brother, DCI James Taylor - with Cambridge’s Bridge of Sighs in the background.

 However, filling the shoes of your identical twin is one thing - when your twin also happens to be a successful DCI leading Cambridge’s busy inner-city major crimes team the stakes are much higher. John may be a master of all things cryptic, but can he crack the biggest puzzle of his life?

Ludwig is a Big Talk Studios Production in association with That Mitchell and Webb Company for BBC One and BBC iPlayer. It was commissioned by Jon Petrie, Director of BBC Comedy. The writer is Mark Brotherhood. The Executive Producers are Kenton Allen, Chris Sussman and Kathryn O’Connor, the Producer is Georgie Fallon. The BBC commissioning editor is Tanya Qureshi.

Scheduling will be announced in due course.
