Call the Midwife

[ilovecarbs90]

Is back 18th April. I'm so glad we are getting a series this year, I find it such great escapism.

Is anyone else a fan?

You are right sirvix

I’ve been fine with the stories but this series feels like they are dealing with ishoos a la 2020s.

I do think that the preachiness and modern day values on a period drama are hard work.

@SirVixofVixHall - I agree, it's spoiled by the preachiness and worthiness. Also anachronistic words and behaviour.

Here we go ...

Will Dr Turner invent the internet and cloning tonight?

Ancient play pens

Mrs Higgins is wasted in the surgery, she should be miss marple.

Yes, it is all modern sensibilities pushed onto a costume drama. A lot of totally unbelievable dialogue.
Also unconvincing Fred betting on Germany to win, that was really out of step with both his patriotic character and the times, all the adults then had lived through the war. It was only as far away as 2001 is now.
Are the writers all about thirty ?

Miss Higgins is brilliant!

Ooh yes ! I am fed up with this series but I love her and her twinkly eyes. She should set up a detective agency with Nurse Crane.

Well that's Timmy packed off to Edinburgh then....

My mum used to teach two little girls with PKU

Sadly none.

My ex destroyed everything I owned. I lescaped with the torn clothes on my back. Just.

There were no fancy smart phones and that back then. No ordinary mobiles either!

On reflection that might have been a good thing...

Indeed! Or running the Department of Health.

Jeanette's mum was married to Ashley in Corrie!

Christ, now Vi Buckles is a bloody expert on pre-eclampsia.

Is that Ashley Peacock’s wife Clurrr?

Oops xpost glay

@Glay

Jeanette's mum was married to Ashley in Corrie!

Goodness, I didn't recognise her!

Now now Lucille - that’s a bold statement

The girl in the play pen has PKU.

The man beside me? Looks like 2 metres, pet.

What's PKU?
