Teal, babies and death. Call The Midwife it’s Dr One Face

Poor Barbara

I said that lastthread SMJ has to be 104 it makes no sense her being alive but there she is.

She doesn't have to be at all, since no-one said she was 90+ at the start of the series! Just because its in the book doesn't mean its the same in the show. And she wasn't a real person at all, she was fiction even in the books...like Chummy she was an amalgmation of several real life people.

But she is 104

The actress is 82, if that helps

Thank you Aragog.

Do we think Patsy will ever come back, or has that actress been written out too? It feels a bit empty now.

Also, how tragic about the family friend and the septicaemia Accidentally. I rarely bother with gardening gloves. Will think again now.

Sister Monica Joan's worth must not simply be measured by orbits of the earth around the shining sun, but by contemplation of deeds done dutifully and in the silent potential of her future thoughts and prayers in the peaceful twilight.

Exactly

Tom & Barbara we're never meant to have a Good Life (sorry).

Indeed liney

Sisters, we are inspired!

Oh poor poor Barbara. Stoical to the end.

I sobbed most of the way through the second half.

I did chuckle when Timothy wasn't allowed to see the Rolling Stones as they were undesirable. Dr Turner would be gagging to get tickets now they are touring again. ha ha (although he may be a bit old now ? )

DH won't watch this show with me - so I have to sob alone.

I really want to see Patsy come back. She and Trixie were my favourites.

Did anyone catch the name of the gospel choir? My recording cut off before the end of the credits. They sung beautifully.

Oh dear. Misery-by-numbers almost failed to get me this week -right up until Phylis took over the vicars prayer for Babs. I will admit I was surprised that borstal bloke didn't get out - I was imagining him being released and arriving just as baby was born.

The choir doesn’t seem to be on the credits - I just checked on iPlayer.

Big piece in the Daily Fail... it's all so Dr Oneface can flog his book!!

"Cull the Midwife"

@FuzzyCustard

Just watched and about broke myself.

Phyllis - oh Phyllis. I hate seeing her upset.

I agree about her acting everyone off the screen. And I agree that everyone should have a Phyllis in their life.

And if Trixie comes back and lands with Tom I will get the hump and I'll stop watching. The simpering would be positively unbearable sweetie.

The choir wasn't named but at the end of the cast list there was a special thanks to someone. I looked her up but can't recall her name now.

On the CTMW facebook page there's a post about the choir with a video of them singing Amazing Grace and photos taken when they were filming. No name of them. Maybe they aren't a choir but people who auditioned as singers/actors?
