Call the Midwife

Just watched Sunday's episode. Very emotional, sadness and happiness and sadness again. I felt so sad for Dot - the adoptive mother.

And finally we get find out about Mary Cynthia!

Can't believe last night was the finale already. I was an emotional wreck throughout most of it. But it was nice to see a happy ending for so many of the characters. It's a long time until the Christmas special!

Lady is a tramp

Ah god the bit where they were getting all excited about this new "thalidomide" medicine for morning sickness was heartbreaking!

Had the last 2 episodes recorded and watched them both this morning! Cried through both of them. Good job I'm on my own today!

Just watching this on Netflix now, it's super. Really enjoying it. Though Jenny does annoy me, and Dr. Turners wife is very wooden.

The actress who plays Trixie's pregnancy is very noticeable

Wow, long time since this was updated.

Yeah, talk about contriving a temp exit. Even the time off in the programme matches the RL time off, 6 months. :pac:

One side view looked particularly noticeable. Maybe she's comfort eating after breaking up with her boyfriend :cool:

Never noticed it last week but really obvious in this weeks episode. Sister Monica Joan is starting to get right on my proverbials!

Poor Barbara! I hope she pulls through.

How is it a heartwrencher EVERY single week??


Jaysis I thought Phyllis was a goner tonight.

I text my mother to see had she watched it yet but she hadn’t so I just said its dramatic. That was when Phyllis was in the fire.

Then I text her OMG it’s so dramatic!! at the end. My poor heart couldn’t take it! 😂

She watched it so I called her and we were both gushing over it!

I only started watching Call the Midwife over Christmas. Last night I finished watching all five series on Netflix. But I’ve got a problem.

Am I right in saying that the current series on bbc is series seven? Where can I get series six? Or how do I find out when it’s coming to Netflix?

Just checked there and there doesn’t seem to be a date yet. Might be the summer

Proper sad that episode.

I didn’t need that this morning. We are losing midwives from this so often.

I think that HEARTBEAT killed off at least two G.P.s and a few police constables......

Yesssss Season 7 is now on Netflix, in case anyone is interested!

Binged it at the weekend. I realised that I'd gotten as far as season 5 so I had two seasons to get through.

Failed to record on my sky box when I was away. Can’t find a repeat, is there anywhere I can catch it without waiting for the box set of the upcoming series?

JP Liz V1

The Christmas special is currently on BBC 1

Max Headroom

Not sure if it the social distancing or the HD quality picture thats annoying me a bit...more the HD i think...Been rewatching the old episodes (again) on Drama and i find it softer and cosier to watch..if that makes sense..:o

Call The Midwife (10th series) starts on BBC 1 on Sunday 18th April at 8pm

It's followed immediately after by a repeat of Call the Midwife: The Casebook on BBC4.

Documentary in which Stephen McGann, who plays Dr Patrick Turner in drama series Call the Midwife, explores the social and medical changes that took place in the 1950s and 60s relating to childbirth.

Along the way, Stephen meets midwives, nuns and doctors who helped deliver babies during the period.

As well as archive footage and expert interviews, the programme features clips from past editions of Call the Midwife, footage of the new sixth series and an interview with creator and writer Heidi Thomas.

Can't wait for this to start again. I have been watching it from the very beginning. I wonder how and if they are going to continue it as they move through the 60's and into the era of hospitals etc.

You can already see in the last (maybe even last two?) seasons how things were changing with the advent of the pill and also women being encouraged to give birth in hospitals - in the early seasons they were always short staffed, whereas later on they're concerned about being able to stay open.

I know the later ones are written with hindsight, but still, the comment from Nurse Crane that this idea of making women in labour travel to hospital was going to lead to babies being born along the roadside was a very good point that nobody even really thinks of these days, because we don't even question the fact of giving birth in hospital now.

I seem to remember hearing recently that they have started filming a new series of Call the midwife. I loved that show and was so sad that it ended. I even had a whole storyline for trixy to find love again. Does anyone know if this is being aired soon???

Yes, it was very sad.

That was so sad. And very well done- the young nun's reaction was very human and very real.

Series 1-8 are on Netflix UK, so I'd assume we're talking at least a year before they will show series 10.

jlm29

Gah! I missed the first episode. Thanks for the heads up!
