Call the Midwife - nuns but no Nonnatus

[NumbersStation]

Just caught up then realised the thread was full.

Sister Monica joan’s flowers.

Cried like a seal.

My garden didn’t bloom and for me the sunshine failed. My buds were perfect but not for here.

And the hairy bud who grew and blossomed in my care soaked up the love.

Missing the three of you more than you know. X

I think we should all lie down and listen to Acker Bilk

Wise words from Sr Hilda.

I knew that LG was dead and that he'd been in prison but I didn't know about his sons. I was curious about Daniel Laurie/Reggie and if he'd been in anything else so googled him, that's how I found out.

Daniel Laurie was in Vera a couple of weeks ago

Ok, now I’m doing helpless sobbing.

Were there some extra nuns in the background at the hearing? Gran was obviously going to die while Valerie popped out for her 99.

I'm not reading the thread tonight, I've got an episode recorded to watch another night...hope it's not to emotional Saucery

Aww been having goosebumps and tears in my eyes the whole way through so far
...

This series has almost broken me emotionally... Baby Warren the other week reminding me of my ds1 and tonight with Vals Grandma... I lost my DP to oesophageal cancer just over two years ago... I'm a total mess... 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔

Oh and eyeroll at Dr Turner also being an expert in addiction...he knows it all!

Amazing Grace finished me off. Bloody twee, cathartic Sunday night telly ❤️

About time they gave Dr Turners wife, Shelagh, some new glasses. She’s worn the same ones for years.

That speech and rousing music had me in bits

Very moving tonight. Fitting end to this series.

So 12 month reprieve? Series end?

I inadvertently read a spoiler earlier that said "Sister Julienne Killed" and I'm bloody glad it were fake!!

So all that scaremongering about May - and indeed Dr Turner's heart clutching and the slippery stairs was nothing?

Eddie was the footman in Downton Abbey. But he’s put on a bit of weight so looks really different.

Found the episode quite tedious and predictable.

Having lost my beloved nan a few month ago, I found tonight's episode difficult. This programme is the only one on telly that manages to pull on my heartstrings.

Dr Mcaddiction went from the odd pill, to regular pills, to intravenous overdose in 3 weeks.

Vals nan beautifully played.

I did struggle to take William from Downton seriously as the two timing playboy though! Although the most interesting part of that was Nurse Crane and the 60s style mattress on the floor touchy feely birth.

That sounds hard.

Why was Dr Oneface dressed like Worsel Gummage at the end?

No connection to smoking in the end!!

Why was Dr Oneface dressed like Worsel Gummage at the end?
That was the guy for the bonfire .

Dh (master of the bad pun) announced that "I knew gran would flake out when Val went for her ice cream"

Oh no is that it for the series?

Why was Dr Oneface dressed like Worsel Gummage at the end?

Yes I wondered that, he looked awful!

I didn't think the storyline about the young doctor addicted to drugs was given enough depth. I wonder if he'll return in a later series....
