What year are we up to with this now? The late 1960s?

1967

InMySpareTime · 14/01/2023 07:45

IMDB says 1968

We have a consultant who would walk up and Shen he ward dictating letters into his dictaphone. Absolutely no confidentiality whatsoever. And he should have known better. We soon put a stop to that.

Thank you @InMySpareTime

I wonder how many more years/seasons it has left! I liked the first few seasons best, and though it had run its course for a long time, but now look forward to it as easy viewing on a Sunday night.

I was reading that next season is confirmed .. but not beyond that. Usually they know before that start filming apparently

Back to first series on Drama - Ethan from Casualty just popped up as Jenny's boyfriend!

Just checking in to express my surprise that Dr and Mrs Turner have not been sainted yet...

Thought the main storyline was really touching, not sure where they're going to take the Moseley story line - will there be more of it or was it just used to kick start Lucille's depression story line?

New nun is clearly a bit of a pish taker, but also why would Matthew (handsome but with a personality like one of those plastic film fishes you get in a cracker) go straight out and get a scooter just on her say?

😂😂 Thank you! I'm also hating Mathew! Creepy AF.

auntgina · 15/01/2023 17:23

Thanks @PuttingDownRoots good to hear it will be back.

I love Dr. Turner! He's so perfect and I'd like to have him for my own GP. Is he too unrealistic and progressive as a 1960s Doctor🤔

There is something creepy about Matthew @VioletLemon. And smug.

I liked the dentist better for Trixie.

I loved the dentist for Trixie - they seemed like a great couple.

I want him to come back, having divorced his wife and with a happy, well adjusted daughter.

jay55 · 15/01/2023 20:10

Trixie talking about her wedding cake being soaking in booze isn't good.

SilliusSoddus · 15/01/2023 20:11

Oooh, I never thought of that!

woodhill · 15/01/2023 20:21

I had roller skates like that

IconicKitty · 15/01/2023 20:24

Is it just me who finds the nun's attitude to the husband raping his wife a bit... unbelievable? It was legal for husbands to rape their wives until 1991 (shockingly, before that it wasn't even considered rape). This programme often inserts modern attitudes into the 1960s period which borders on the unrealistic.

IconicKitty · 15/01/2023 20:26

Obviously it went on and was appalling, but I doubt people/the authorities would have cared that much back then. Thank god we have moved on.

SilliusSoddus · 15/01/2023 20:26

Ian's not that lady's dad, is he?

LIZS · 15/01/2023 20:29

SilliusSoddus · 15/01/2023 20:26

Ian's not that lady's dad, is he?

Or he left rather than died and was not the good man she thinks,

doctorsnoddy · 15/01/2023 20:32

I'm guessing haemophilia.

Raahh · 15/01/2023 20:33

I'm guessing that's what the grandfather died of.

Which is why themother was so keen on female grandaughters.

SilliusSoddus · 15/01/2023 20:33

Well, you ARE a doctor Grin

Raahh · 15/01/2023 20:33

ooh- I was right.

Hello! doctors Grin

VioletCharlotte · 15/01/2023 20:34

Oh, that women's hostel 😢 I had no idea they were like that back then.

IconicKitty · 15/01/2023 20:35

I'm guessing they will end the series in a year or two. It would be great if they went back in time for a series - perhaps when Sister Monica Joan was a young midwife.

Raahh · 15/01/2023 20:36

I now realise I put female grandaughters- rather than granchildren Grin

IconicKitty · 15/01/2023 20:38

Where is the father of the baby? Not sure if I've missed something
