Is there a Call the Midwife thread?

The poor little boy

The babies are always younger than 10 days old btw

I always assumed that they had some sort of make-up gloop that they use, to give that 'just emerged' look to the babies.

They do. I forget now what it is but yes of course the babies are made up to look recently emerged!

They also use CGI to avoid the need for excessive make up on newborn babies. They did this with the spina bifida storyline

I wonder if the parents get paid, I guess they do? for their new borns first appearance.
is this Elstree Studios anyone know?

and anyway I was sure black babies arent generally born so dark?

I was thinking that Doctor Turners wife, Sister Bernadette as was, can't recall her new, or should that be old, name, really shouldn't have been smoking. Not after her lung related illness!

MrsDeVere I laughed at that episode as well!! I have only met one mixed race newborn (mum was white, dad was from Uganda) and tbh as a newborn their dd did look very white!! No idea if that is typical though

mammuzzamia Ahem ^ :o

That's it!

They 'make up' the new borns?? I definitely wouldn't allow that to happen to my pfb and the 2 others actually!!!

I speak as a dm who did put her pfb on the stage

I reckon that there is a great deal of variety in the colour of ALL newborns!!

I love call the midwife.

But finding I am crying every bloomin week due to my own pregnancy hormones.

The trouble being, under all the lighting and in front of the cameras I am pretty sure the newborn babies would look extremely pale/almost blue (dd2 was very blue WITHOUT the presence of strong film lighting!)

Misdee blast from the past! How many does that make?

(You probably don't recognise me as I'm a serial name changer but I remember the night of Pink Peter)

Number 7. 6th girl.

What's issues are being tackled on Sundays episode? Anyone know? Will Trixies drinking feature heavily? Is Nurse Crane/train nasty or nice?

I might have to rewatch previous series if on demand service has them. Just because...

Or ask for the DVDs for my birthday

They're on netflix if you have that.

Trixie and Tom have a few things to sort out, emergency birth for Sr MJ and Shelagh, think Sr Winifred tries to tackle the issue of sexual health amongst prostitutes or something.

Hopefully I won't be sobbing uncontrollably before my anti-d jab on Monday morning then :)

Don't currently have Netflix as dh signed up to bt on demand service. They sometimes have them on there though so will check at the weekend if back on.

is it me or do all the women that are pregnant have very low bumps and they all look uncomfortable and not very life like

Smoking & drinking both references so far.

Ex nun/nun discussing condoms , the expressions were interesting.
