David Mitchell reprises his role as John 'Ludwig' Taylor, the reclusive puzzle-setter thrown into the world of policing after his identical twin brother James, a detective chief inspector, vanished without explanation.

The detective dramedy series (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a71857231/bbc-ludwig-renewed-season-three/), which stars David Mitchell and Anna Maxwell Martin, will drop its second season on BBC One on 20 August,

Season one saw James go missing, which led to his twin brother pretending to be him as he infiltrated the local police station to investigate, and he ended up helping to solve other cases

The synopsis for the second season (https://www.digitalspy.com/tv/a71744111/ludwig-season-2-must-watch-mystery/) reads: "Now that he's an official employee of the station, John is forbidden from using any police resources to look for his brother or uncover exactly what he was investigating.

Of course, John won't stop, and neither will Lucy, John's sister-in-law and wife of his missing brother James - a puzzle needs solving and a husband and father needs bringing home. One masquerade may have ended, but a new one has just begun."

I liked the teacher murder episode best from the last series. It was good getting some insight into John as a child.

At least it’s better than Professor T, much of which is filmed in Belgium. The interiors may be typical of Belgian universities but not Cambridge ones. Ben Millar has been seen to go from one part of Jesus College to another (his house) via King’s Backs, although they are on the same block IRL.

The roof (where he does some of his thinking) is marked as such on Google Maps. 😀

In the first ten minutes of Ludwig last night we saw The Anchor, Queen’s College, St Botolph’s Church, and the front of Selwyn College taken from Grange Road. Yes, I do get distracted from the plot.

Yes, I enjoyed that one. The ‘American’ tour guide was played by Ella Bruccoleri, from Call the Midwife and The Other Bennet Sister.

Tut tut. Queens’ College, not Queen’s College, in Cambridge.

It’s between Queen’s Road and Queens Lane.

At least it’s better than Professor T, much of which is filmed in Belgium

Which is weird, because Prof T was Belgian in the first place.

I think it has a Belgian production company.

edit: the director is Belgian.

Article in the local paper about Ludwig and filming in Cambridge.

I liked the teacher murder one as well for the reason we found out more about John's childhood.

@BakeOffRewatch totally agree that the love between Lucy and John is in no way romantic. I liked James's message to John at the end of series one when he said that he hadn't accounted for the depth of John's friendship with Lucy as he assumed that John would never get involved and Lucy would leave like James told her to. This shows both the strength of platonic love between Lucy and John and also the romantic love between James and Lucy because Lucy is desperate to find James and is devastated by the fake message that James left her because he was bored.

I liked the teacher one - very poignant flashback scenes - though initially I thought the deaf deputy typical BBC virtue signally until the final scene…

Gosh I’m misreading things so. I was thinking Lucy has a very soft spot John and thinks that she probably married the wrong twin.

I think there have been some scenes that have suggested that.

Have watched Thursday’s upcoming episode, as will be away with friends, from tomorrow till the following Monday. Had to sit on my hands, not to watch the following one, as no similar excuse! My lips are sealed.

Same

and surely if fancies one she would the other

I also think she married the wrong twin as he didn’t seem to care about her /make his feelings obvious so went with his twin - so that he would still be in her life

And I can’t rem the 6 cases from s1

He had a narrow escape from being snagged by Helen Archer, otherwise he’d be stuck in Ambridge until he was accidentally drowned in a vat of Borchester Blue.

I fancy mark bonnar. He was good in Guilty

😂

Lucy wears some fabulous coats and jackets, does anyone know where the navy and red one from episode 3 is from? Googling has got me nowhere!

Super in Shetland as well.

I’m struggling with Lucy’s outfits, the mini skirt and white ankle socks seem really silly and don’t fit her character.

Have seen episode 1 of new series. Off to a great start. I absolutely love it

I thought it was a bit odd that Evans and Finch were replaced. Ive not warmed to the new pair. My theory is that they are secretly working in the basement on the Holly files. (Though pp saying the actors are in other shows makes me doubt my theory)

@Treylime I like the idea of Finch and Evans working in the basement. It would be great if John stumbled upon them at some point. Particularly as he said that he liked them and they liked him.

I found the wedding one daft.

Not enjoying this series as much tbh.

Professor T filming locations.

The photo is Portugal Place but the article says

“For season four, nearly all of the college interiors were filmed at a former international boarding school for girls, now known as The Winter Garden of the Ursulines.
Meanwhile, the Château de La Hulpe doubled as the interior of Jasper’s office, while the lecture theatre was filmed at the academiezaal Sint Truiden.”
