Call the Midwife.

What is going on with Mother Mildreds make up?

Mrsjayy

And given everyone would know who she was, there was no way she’d have been able to buy that bottle of whisky. We did wonder about that. Very unlikely she'd have been able to get hold of that.

Unless she stole it.

She more than likely pinched it there was whiskey hidden all over those Islands

Isla was very cute though.

I’ve just watched it.

I love it even though I know it is schmaltzy nonsense. The white stag was a step too far for me.

Nightdresses catching fire was not uncommon even when I was little in the 70s. Having an open fire was not unusual and lots of nightdresses were man made fibres.

I thought the accents sounded wrong and I didn’t understand why Mrs Lighthouse didn’t go to stay with her mother.

Where did all the pregnant women appear from? The end scene was full of them.

We had a babysitter from Harris as children. She had a lovely, gentle - almost musical - accent, very different from our lowland Scottish accent.

Yes the accents have a lovely lilt my Dd hairdresser is from Islay she has a beautiful sing song accent, we are a bit gruff in comparison

There used to be public informations films in the 1970s and I remember one about children getting too close to open fires and getting badly burnt. Nylon was a very popular material for things like nightwear in the 70s and it was highly flammable.

Esther Ransten ran a whole campaign about your night dresses catching fire

Ah, nylon! The fabric of the future back in the 60s and 70s. Anyone else remember Brentford Nylons? Always advertising in the 70s. Google has reminded me that Alan 'Fluff' Freeman voiced their adverts. mancunian1001.wordpress.com/2015/12/13/the-lost-precinct-advent-calendar-13-brentford-nylons/ There's a sample advert on this webpage.

I once had a nylon nightie and nylon sheets. Every time I moved in bed the static sparked. I took it off I was so scared of bursting into flames!

Horrid memories of my nylon nightclothes almost catching alight just from the sparks they caused when sliding into the nylon sheeted bed. It’s great selling point was that it didn’t need ironing.

‘Drip-dry shirts’; they started to smell the second they hit your skin.

Oh god nylon sheets hot sticky and sparky !

I've watched every episode, this was without question the worst episode ever made

My hair is also the same colour as Effie's and I too have dark brows and lashes naturally. My friend with the same colour hair has light brows and lashes!

I have that colour hair too and pale brows and lashes.

Most of us agree the Christmas special was far fetched. However I've been watching the reruns on Drama - some i've seen more than twice now - and I think the series is excellent.

Producer: Guys! Guys! We're going to do an on location Christmas special!

Cast: Amazing! Are we off to South Africa again? Or America maybe?

Producer: Even better! We're going to a really cold bit of Scotland.

Cast (and writer): Let's phone this fucking thing in and get home.

I thought the white stag was just in MJ's imagination?

They've lost their way now unfortunately. Too much Dr Turner, too much mother house. I've been watching the early series again on Netflix and it's so different in comparison.

The white stag reminded me of Harry Potter's Patronus!

They produced some sort of justification for the nuns going travelling in order to scope out setting up on Harris. But I didn't hear any justification for dragging several qualified midwives and a doctor up there. And surely it would have made much more sense for Sheila to stay behind with the children.

Anyone else wondering where the van came from and why Fred had to drive it? Seems unlikely that Harris had a van hire business operating.

The .midwives were going to convalesce or something after their flu
