Ludwig Christmas special announced!

Mark Brotherhood’s hit comedy drama Ludwig will return for a special festive episode this Christmas.

David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin are joined by an all-star cast including Sir David Suchet, Cathy Tyson, Joe Wilkinson, and Kiell Smith-Bynoe.

The BBC have announced that the festive episode will see John, Lucy and Henry arrive at a remote Christmas themed hotel in Yorkshire for what should have been a much-needed escape, when a sudden blackout turns the festivities into a locked-room murder mystery.

Trapped by a blizzard and cut off from the outside world, the guests must spend the night with a killer in their midst. With John reluctantly pulled into one of his strangest puzzles yet, the race is on for the Taylors to solve the crime before Christmas.

The episode will see Sir David Suchet, the actor behind one of television’s most famous detectives, Hercule Poirot, having the tables turned and taking on the role of a murder suspect!

The second series of Ludwig is currently airing on Thursdays at 9pm on BBC One. The first three episodes of series two are available to stream on BBC iPlayer, with episodes 4, 5 and 6 releasing on 10th September.
