This page is rebuilt every day from the published broadcast schedule, so the answer above is the current one rather than whatever was true when it was written.

When is Ludwig back?

No return date has been announced, and nothing is showing in the seven-day schedule. This page checks the listings every day, so when a date does appear it will show at the top rather than here.

In the meantime every past episode is on BBC iPlayer.
