Does anyone else remember Ludwig?

[Hassled]

It was in that 5 minute slot just before the 6 O'Clock news - early 80's ish. What was it all about? - I know I liked it, but am struggling to describe it. This is the only youtube reference I can find, sadly.

an egg that pretended to be beethoven? is that the one?

Yes!! But was it an egg or an alien?

Ohhhh, Ludwig!

Beethoven. Egg. That was about the size of it, wasn't it?

it was depressing

I always thought it was an egg.

Never thought about it being an alien... hmm...

But there must have been plots and stuff, surely? All I can remember was the egg/alien, Beethoven and yes, a slightly maudlin, bleak sort of atmosphere. But things must have happened - even the BBC in the early 80s can't have filled 5 minutes with a depressed egg and some classical music.

I remember Ludwig.

And another one called Munchausen or something similar?

Was there a bird in it as well?

Kenneth Williams, and a blue ghosty thing?

"Kenneth Williams, and a blue ghosty thing"

Oh dear God, what WAS that programme? That wasn't Ludwig - there was a camp ghost - arghh! This is doing my head in.

willow the whisp

willo the wisp

i love ludwig a lot.

uk.youtube.com/watch?v=eJHGg9c86fsdoes anyone remember this channel 4 late 90s murun...

this i mean

DH says that Ludwig was a happy egg. Apparently the plot was that the egg played the music that matched what it met - the bit of Beethoven it chose to play suited the atmosphere at the time, iyswim. That's not very clear, is it?

oh yes willo the wisp, what a couple of bizarre programme ideas

cartoonists on mushrooms surely

oohoh, look at this all about Ludwig

it was made to bore kids to sleep

Mercy - thank you for that site (all I need to find out now if how the guy who wrote the site got to show it to his kids) - and Slayorette, that goes some way towards explaining how they filled 5 minutes

I remember Ludwig, and I remember thinking 'eh?' but also liking it. It was strangely comforting.

But willo the wisp was creepy.
