Call the Midwife is back!

[PolkadotsAndMoonbeams]

This Sunday (17th) at 8pm on BBC1.

I enjoyed the Christmas special - it was good to see Delia back, and I think there's going to be a nice romance with Tom and Barbara

The - it looks like we are going to get a thalidomide story.

[Clawdy]

And Fred can be Max.......

[Pebble21uk]

And Tim is perfect for Ralph... I can see him turning into a snitching Nazi!

[ShelaghTurner]

[ppeatfruit]

There IS something about Dr. Turner I reckon he's sexy. Yes Shelagh would make a good Maria. I like this thread even more now it's gone SOMish .

[Pebble21uk]

And I'm casting Violet as that woman at the Music Festival who can't stop bowing!

[NeedACleverNN]

I've never seen sound of music

[ppeatfruit]

riviere Do CTM do Children In need? Someone needs to tell them we've written their sketch ! It would be brill. Chummy must be the bowing woman Pebble21 or the housekeeper, like Mel in the Xmas Live SOM.

[Clawdy]

Need a Liesl though......Cynthia!?

[Pebble21uk]

I like Chummy for housekeeper (Frau Schmidt)... she needs a more central role!
And I like Cynthia for Liesl, she has the right innocent appeal.
Not sure what we do with the rest of them though?? - There aren't enough roles to go around! We still have Barbara & Tom and Patsy & Delia to fit on somewhere!??

[IdaJones]

Dr Turner would need to become a bit more masterful to be Capt VT.

[ppeatfruit]

Clawdy and Pebble Is Liesl as innocent as all that ? There are extra parts for nuns and crowds at the ball and concert. Plenty for everyone !

[ppeatfruit]

Oh gosh I go a bit hot about Chris. Plummer as Capt. Von T.

[KingJoffreyLikesJaffaCakes]

Can't Patsy and Delia be Louisa and Brigitta?

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Yes yes pebble! Tim is perfect for Ralf!

If Tom can't be the Captain then maybe he could be Kurt with his falsetto singing voice?

[IdaJones]

Tom does have the looks for Capt VT Anne

[IdaJones]

He'd need a shave and a bit of a quiff

[Pebble21uk]

Yes King! Yes Anne... and they already have the bikes / know how to ride them for the Do Re Mi scene!

[IdaJones]

All these years I'd thought "Gayorg, that's an odd name." Georg makes a lot more sense. I'm with ppeatfruit on Christopher Plummer as Capt VT making me come over all unnecessary.

[ppeatfruit]

Ida oh yes, "Were you this much trouble at the abbey?"

[IdaJones]

[AnneEyhtMeyer]

Just realised this thread is almost full, so have made an emergency new thread here:

[AugustaFinkNottle]

What decade was it that women began to work after marraige and pregnancy? Was the 70s wasn't it, so a bit off yet?

My mother was working part time in the 1960s.

[TooAswellAlso]

Sorry, should have rephrased that better - I meant specifically nurses and teachers, those that previously had been banned from working when married or mothers
