New Series "Call the Midwife"

[PomBearAtTheGatesOfDoom]

Is anyone else looking forward to this one? I just saw the trailers tonight and I can't wait I have the books this is based on and love them - they're one of the few autobiographies I have ever re-read and they are just so good. Miranda Hart is in the series, I don't like her comedy stuff and her own series, but I think she has to be playing Chummy and she is just so right for the role! I reckon she'll be really good - it is great casting like Robbie C as Hagrid I can't imagine anyone else doing it It's been a long, long time since I actually got excited over a TV show and actually made plans to watch it rather than just catching stuff by accident.

My mum and I are sooo looking forward to it too :)
We've loved the books. Miranda looks good in the trailers - just hope I can take her seriously and not think of her doing her no-bra breast clap thing

have seen the first couple of eps, it's proper heartwarming stuff.

ooh not seen this? ive read the books though! loved em!

whens it on?

Yes, when is it on? I didn't mind the first book (not so much the second), so might take a quick glance at it.

Yes I'm looking forward to it having seen the trailer this morning. Didn't realise it was based on literature. Not that I get time to read these days

When is it on?

I think it starts on Sunday. DD is greatly looking forward to it. She is, in her own words, MH's greatest living fan.

I love the books too - have re-read them more than five times once. Can't wait for the series - just hope I'm not disappointed! BBC1 8pm Sunday for those asking when it's on.

MH isn't in it until ep2, i think, at which point things take a turn for the funner. it's basically the original all creatures great and small with east end women as the cows. like i say, i enjoyed it.

Have just sky plussed this, really loved the books

I've just realised, my mum gave me a copy of the first? book. I thought it was utter bilge. I loathe the way cock-er-ney speech is recorded.
I'll give the series a go, but as soon as anyone says love a duck I'm off.

Just watched it on Iplayer. It is incredible to see how things have developed in such a short amount of time, after all in the grand scheme of things 55 years isn't that long.
I've always loved social history and a few months before I got pregnant I read "birth: a history" by Tina Cassidy (amazing boo, but don't read it if you're pregnant or just had a baby) and this series reminded me a bit of it because of what I've mentioned before.
Will definitely be looking forward to the next episode and will look out for the book.
