Call the Midwife

[Toddlerteaplease]

Well this is boring.

@dayswithaY

I did notice that the meths drinker was Sir Dave of Cliftonville, the DJ from I'm Alan Partridge.

Strange that they chose to show the singer rejecting her career to stay home with her baby. She might regret that when the baby is 15 and screaming "I hate you" in her face.

🤣

I reckon she'll have gone back to singing soon enough hopefully with a new manager!!

@Imayhaveerred try an orchid I think they're more Co-operative

It made me feel sick, it was totally grim. Also two deaths in one episode. No thanks, not what I watch it for.
I don’t think I’ll watch any more.

I just realised my Mum was ages with Trixie (who is 37 in RL) in the 60s. And there was no way that she (or any of her friends that age) would have worn that much makeup in the daytime (thinking of the thick pan stick foundation and heavy eyeliner in the awful kiss scene) And mum was a trendy art student, who was daring enough to wear slacks in 1948! The character of Trixie is treated as if she is early 20s, not her late 30s. And there was a big difference between these ages in the 60s.

There is zero chemistry between her the man with the teeth. And exactly why was he at a council meeting?

And exactly why was he at a council meeting?. He’s a big landlord, and one of the agenda items was housing.

Maybe they are trying to prove that they are not as twee as people are saying!!

The acting at the end with Nancy, Dr T and Mrs Hat/ dressmaker woman/ mayor was quite cringe. ‘Do you mean we could help these men?’ Intense looks all round.
‘Well I’m not promising anything…’
The kiss?! Well I’m still traumatised

And at the end when Mrs B and Dr T start talking about how there needs to be a home for the old drunk men - yet one more social problem solved by Dr T. I bet if we went back early enough we would find an episode where he invents the wheel!

Go a bit further back and he creates the Earth & Heavens in five days because a) he's more god-like than God and b) Shelagh 'oh Patrick' Turner likes him home at the weekends.

Well I work in homelessness and wish I could call Dr perfect as he would solve all our issues immediately screams into the void with sickness of the man
Their cosy chat at the end was in the top ten of most vomit inducing CTM moments, and there have been many

@Akire

Was it Dear Lord and father of mankind ?

Yes, would have liked to hear it sung

Felt sorry for the nun who was ousted by Sheila

Also while I’m being picky surely there is no way a trained nurse would be scraping dog shit off her shoe in the kitchen sink?

I thought this too! All their banging on about germs and hand washing and she's literally cleaning dog shit off next to the kettle.

I mean some families would have no choice but they literally have a medical prep area with autoclave!

Maybe next week someone will go blind and Dr Turner will discover the link between dog poo and blindness.

And then heal them with one touch.

Remember the situation in the Royal family with Barb doing similar

Sorry Royle

Yeah that made me feel more sick than the foot falling off!!

I’d love if showed Mrs T going to roof and having a good scream now and again, putting on her Lippy and back to being serene. Her husband is out saving world 24/7 has part time job, 3 kids and to many good deeds for her own good something has to give!

Mrs Turner made the foot into a pie in between organising events, running the surgery, sewing complicated outfits and typing up old records.

Seems a shame to waste it.

She did that ridiculous plastered on smile when Mr Turner cocked his head to one side and said, “You should let me be in charge of the food shopping more often..” then he bolted out of the door to mansplain the benefits of dandelions to the rabbits.

😂

I thought Sister Julienne was horrible to Sister Hilda. She really doesn't like her, does she?

Next Christmas special I’d like Sister Monica Joan to experience many accidents in a Final Destination style.

They teased us a while back with the stairs and the shoelace.

I can’t stand her.

Rude and obnoxious. Glad she’s not getting much screen time.

Surely it is time for her to go?

Been watching first series and she was much more well “early dementia” confusing over what things are or why. She’s practically in Mensa now in comparison. Surely 10y on they have ship her off to nun nursing home.
They mean kill off sister Angelia

I said to DH last night that I feel like this might be her final series. She's got to be about 104 by now...?

Remember when she fucked off into the cold and almost died with squatters trying to convince her to go to hospital?

Then Fred turned up with his an and saved her?

Fucking Fred.
