Ludgem Becomes Most-Watched UK Scripted Show Of The Year

Original: ‘Ludwig’ Becomes Most-Watched UK Scripted Show Of The Year

The BBC detective series 'Ludwig' has become the most-watched UK scripted show of the year, according to Deadline. Starring David Mitchell as a puzzle-setter who impersonates his detective twin, the comedy-drama has outperformed every other homegrown scripted title in 2024 ratings. The result marks a notable win for a lightly promoted, word-of-mouth hit in a crowded television market.

Why now: A modest comedy-drama topping the year's UK scripted viewing figures is a surprising ratings story.
