Call The Midwife

[Daffodilly]

I'm sure after the Christmas special they said a new series would be starting in the New Year. So where is it?? [impatient]

What a brilliant episode I sobbed during the last half hour.

I think it will do well without Jenny I had a feeling she wouldn't be in the next series anyway maybe that's why they wrote her out for those couple if episodes too see how well it worked without her.

I'm looking forward too the next series already!

Broken!

sobbing my heart out

I wasn't at all close to my mum and I really diidnt like touching her I very much identified with Chummy tonight.

Very moving as always.

My word Miranda Hart proved she could act. It did seem very final at the end.

Me and DD sometimes give my DM a manicure and pedicure. It's such a lovely thing to do for someone. Resolving to do if more often. I did shed a few tears at that scene.

God that was hard to watch.

How beautifully acted. Just the presence of sister Monica Joan sitting and waiting for Artemis's death was lovely. Miranda harts acting was amazing.

Bit rushed the last few scenes though - they could have had a little more silence at the death, just a few moments more.

Cried my eyes out at that last episode.

loved that episode, very sad but chummy was fab. think the series will do just fine without jenny, there are enough strong characters to keep the storylines going. would like patsy to stay and feature more next series.

Wow, what a last episode. Tears and smiles alternatively by the end.

So glad it has another series planned.

Have just finished watching, and am posting before reading what others have said. I honestly can't remember when I sobbed so much over a TV program! Chummy and her mother, Shelagh and the baby, and every thing else, I am still blubbing.

But especially the scenes of Chummy's mother's death - so, so touching.......

And now I'm crying again - I didn't realise that was the last episode

What am I going to do on a Sunday night?????

i needed that cry. :(

that was so beautifully acted, Miranda Hart is fantastic.

Need to wait until christmas now for the christmas survival of CTM :(

That was superb.

The manicure was heart-stoppingly beautiful.

Bravo Sister MJ and Chummy.

BBC pls lets have S4.

Me and the dds have only recently started watching it! Great Sun evening telly. I've got some v stupid questions to ask soon, but in the meantime does anyone know if the earlier series will be repeated?

Sister Monica Joan is just wonderful

BBC Drama have been showing some of the earlier runs of CTM

Ohh thanks, will check that out.

Right, why do the midwives live with the nuns?

I cried at the orphanage bit because I wanted her to take the little one stood up in the cot watching. He looked so desperate for a cuddle as well as looking like he could climb out that cot but had no inclination to because he had nothing to get out for.
I would have taken him instead.

Dancergirl, the nuns are midwives too.

Tears here too. I hadn't realised it was the last episode.

I was on tenterhooks about the little boy as well, I kept expecting him to fall out of the cot on to his head!
I felt very sad that no one gave a thought to the poor 17 year old who had had her baby taken away .

Such a bitter sweet episode. I loved seeing the doctor with the baby. It was obvious Shelagh wanted one but not him but he looked v happy.
Sister MJ was brilliant with the death and the scene with the Nivea.

Having sat with my mother at night while she died of bowel cancer that had spread to her liver, I found it almost unbearable to watch because it was so true to life :(. I thought the juxtaposition of the drawn out struggle for birth and death was very powerfully done.
