Call the midwife 2!

Wow. I've never filled a thread before!

@SantaClawsServiette

How about Tim impregnates an older woman who owns a pub, and leaves medical school to become a bouncer?

I would love that to happen -- -- Whatever happened to the GP training scheme as a whole. That was a way to get new cast members / young dishy doctors

The most tactless thing St Shelagh could possibly say.

Not keen on this episode!

The spiritual woman looks like the granny who did the backstreet abortions.

Queen Victoria was said to have had an interest in spiritualism. And it had mass appeal after WWI when people were told they could make contact with their sons. So although popularity dipped dramatically I can believe that it still held pockets of interest.

@MinglingFlamingo

Yes I wasn't impressed with this, wouldn't have happened

With the exception of going to a medium sister MJ is really very articulate and competent tonight. I know her dementia or whatever it was has been improving at an astounding rate but she's making more sense than sister Julienne.

I have been thinking the throughout the episode! Is it the same actor does anyone know?

This is like a comedy. Paraffin cans. Smoking.

Matthew is about to become a midwife. That'll solve the staffing crisis.

The fabulous talent that is Frances Tomelty.

Being squandered on a very poor episode.

Mrs ex Sting

Of all the midwives Nurse Turner is probably the least aware of Hippies and this lifestyle

Sheila is very annoying but I'd say you'd be grateful for her reassuring Enid Blytonesque presence if you were squeezing a baby out on a grimy stairs!

Oo gastroschisis.

Looked after loads of babies with that.

Now delivered into a plastic bag

Makes you grateful for antenatal diagnosis most of the time these days doesn't it.

Ooh we can't even be seen in a car together!

Yes. I was thinking that. And for Parenteral nutrition as well.

Just called in DH. He’s nearly 50 and was born with this. Said he’d always wondered what his mum’s reaction was. He was baptised in the hospital, they didn’t expect him to last. At least the mum and baby are out of the very flammable warehouse.

Wonder what the outcomes for that were in the 60's.

Oh wow. Did he feel a bit teary watching it?

Yes would be interesting to look at the stats from the time compared to now.

He didn’t. I’m in bits.
