Call the midwife anyone?

[AloeSailor]

Can't believe the birth at the beginning, so realistic!

[LRDtheFeministDragon]

Oh, yes. The ship's woman one I found really unpleasant, TBH.

But it does seem they've plenty of material and I like how they've also managed to introduce some new storylines.

[MarthasHarbour]

apparently after S1 many other midwives from the era came forward with additional stories to tell. Which has enabled them to write another series.

[alemci]

yes I cried when the carol came on and the nativity. It was lovely and so sad at the same time

[LRDtheFeministDragon]

Oh, that's so lovely, marthas. I wondered if they'd just made it up, or what.

[MarthasHarbour]

I know - i was pleased that they are still all true stories.

I too have to stop myself talking like Chummy (utterly wizard!) and want to dress like Trixie and Jenny, growing my hair into the style and everyfink!

[LAlady]

Watched it this evening. Very emotional from start to finish.

[MarthasHarbour]

I watched it again last night and cried yet AGAIN at the graveyard scene

[slartybartfast]

watched it last night and quite disappointed. i normally love Call the midwife but I found it too contrived and obvious.
shame.

[slartybartfast]

and it felt like a Chirstmas Speical which it ws.. less of the gritty than usual

[YulaBaker]

I missed series one... Do I need to have seen it to enjoy the Christmas Special or is the CS a stand alone story, iyswim?

[YulaBaker]

Anyone?

[LaVolcan]

I think the CS was stand alone, although if you had seen the series it would give a fuller picture.

[GoldPlatedNineDoors]

Checking in. Be the first time ive ever watched it 'live' - usually im.on catch up scrolling through these threads as I go

Thoght the Christmas Day one was amazing.

[kittensarecute]

I love this show, especially Chummy - she's so sweet.

[IceNoSlice]

Loved the Christmas episode, and think Chummy is wizard!

But the really fake snow drove me nuts! No need!

[picketywick]

CALL THE MIDWIFE I prefer Miranda in her sit-com.
