Call the midwife 2!

Wow. I've never filled a thread before!

@Orangelover

At least! Something exciting happened!

I just admit though, I was shocked that Dr Turner didn't jump up and save the day by taking control and driving the train

I thought he would tear open his shirt to reveal he is in fact Superman, and then fly round to the front of the train and stop it.

@AtlasPine

The actor who played the very young mother Carol was so good. I wanted to give her a big hug. I hope she hasn’t lost her second baby. Someone hot bread asked where her son was during this - I’m guessing he went back to the foster mum for Carol’s hospital stay. I my head I hope so anyway as he would have known her.

I’m over invested I know.

Also think sister J is casting off her mortal coil. Unfortunately I do think Dr Twee is going to live, otherwise who would invent the CAT scan, IVF, heart transplants and ECMO ?

DR T will live....because his RL wife writes the scripts🙄

@Tigresswoods

Where was Mae tonight? We saw the other two "yay" children?!

Also that weird awkward conversation between Dr & Sister J at the conference. They'd actually gone to the bother of using special effects to make them look like they were next to each other!!!

Why was the girl wearing a Panama/straw hat in November? We only wore them in the summer term.

@vjg13

The only shocking bit was that Dr T didn't realise what was happening and put the brake on in time!

I think he was just about to, he looked poised to leap over the steaming tea trolley and gallop to the drivers compartment to use his ventouse equipment on the dead mans handle to me. Other emergency equipment/ train stopping techniques are available.

I am so pleased someone else has noticed the missing yea child, one last week, the other this week. Hmmmm. Mysterious forces at work I believe.

On a point of information didn’t Coronation Street use an almost identical train crash many years ago? Though without a nun, a doctor and a midwife. And on another point of information aren’t nuns contractually obliged to play the guitar and sing in these situations?

How come Carol had no bump when wearing her slim fitting shift dress to the disco, but then one magically appeared when she was in hospital?

Why was Turnadette (sheer brilliance, btw) going on about Timothy’s hair? It’s a good bit shorter than his fathers.

You do hear and read of people who have very title bump on show. Also the baby was early.

Title = little.

Maybe she corseted it because she was in denial.

The sloppiness?

I stole Turnadette from Twitter, by the way. Also thought it was brilliant!

OMG is this going to be the relevance of the unexploded bombs they kept turning up a few episodes ago???

Paraffin + fireworks + BOMBS 🤯

@Aroundtheworldin80moves

Its 1967 right?

I thought such a big occurrence was very un CTM as it follows history. But... the 1967 Hither Green crash was 5th November. Obviously they've changed the details a bit.

That's good if they've based it on an actual crash.

Is next week the last one of the series?

I thought there was always two train drivers for that exact reason??

I think next week is the last episode of this series.

Does anyone know who plays the train driver? It's really annoying me as I recognise him from somewhere.

@AtlasPine

Yes...last one next week

Thought Trixie's aunt was in Portofino so why send a postcard of the Bay of Naples!

It was a bit Casualty this week wasn't it? Train driver - headaches - lack of sleep, lots of discussion of a train journey to be taken... Charlie'll turn up to assist Dr T at the scene.

Siad from Eastenders

Train driver

I didn’t think Timothy’s hair was sloppy at all. It looked shiny and well brushed. And was cut neatly around his ears.

I’m sorry - I meant floppy rather than sloppy.

Nah, Charlie hasn’t been seen doing a stroke of work for months.

he just ambles around aimlessly, looking as if he is wondering where he put his slippers. Least realistic nurse ever.

I liked Timothy’s hair! Thought he was almost unrecognisable without the brylcreme.

I'm just catching up now... does the young mum have what Helen George (Trixie) had during pregnancy IRL?

@AtlasPine

I really hope we don’t lose Nurse Crane. She’s one of the best characters. There are too many drips in CTMW at the moment and she balances them a bit.

I hope we don't lose Nurse Crane either but TBH she's become a bit twee in recent times.
