The call the midwife christmas special is on bbc 1 in 2 parts. The first part will be shown on christmas day at 20:00. The second part will be shown at 19:30 on boxing day. Series 14 will start on 5th January. I am suprised that it has not been renamed as the doctor Turner show.

The lady with the brothel husband is a terrible actress 😭

I recognise her from something else. Can't recall what though

Dr Turner has more scenes than ever now

PrimalScreaming · 12/01/2025 20:48

Very lucky Dr Turner just happened to be at a loose end at his desk when that crisis came through!

CrushingOnRubies · 12/01/2025 20:49

The flower show is May 4th but Daffodils are in full bloom???

They're running out of stories to centre the nuns in now as society got more secular and poplar got larger. It's probably quite close to how medicine became so doctor and hospital led over community nursing.

They’ve covered a lot of this before, I vividly remember a previous nun doing sex ed lessons in a brothel a few series’ ago.

It was series 4.

Trixie is basically Jonty's mum, it's so unbelievable she would leave him so frequently for Poplar

ImWearingPantaloons · 12/01/2025 20:58

That's set Cyril off thinking....

GarethSouthgatesWaistcoat · 12/01/2025 21:00

How old is Trixie supposed to be now? Would she not have wanted to try and have a baby with her husband? I feel like last series passed me by a bit, did she ever say anything about wanting to expand their family?

Obviously not a requirement but it seems slightly unusual for society at the time/their social class. Then again Matthew did lose his first wife shortly after their baby was born.

LIZS · 12/01/2025 21:01

Is that bye bye Cyril?

witchycat2 · 12/01/2025 21:02

Trixie is supposed to be at least mid 30s

Either that or he will return in a few episodes to say his marriage is over and he quite fancies Rosalind

CrushingOnRubies · 12/01/2025 21:03

In my head The first series was set in 1947-1950ish. It's now 1979, so Trixie could be 40ish

witchycat2 · 12/01/2025 21:05

Google says Trixie was supposed to have been born in 1935 (maybe based on book Trixie) which would make her 35 in this series (and 22 in the first series)

Ah, at least they've done something definite about it.

The first series was set in 1957. Each series covers a year.

I was hoping it would turn out all the men were catching gonorrhea from Shelagh.

I watched Goodnight Mister Tom at Christmas and Violet Buckle was William Beech's horrible mum.

MaloryJingleJones · 12/01/2025 21:08

Dr Turner Show again

Still, they did not inflict the Yay kids on us

CrushingOnRubies · 12/01/2025 21:08

Oh thank you. They got through the 60s quickly

Snowmenschilliballs · 12/01/2025 21:08

Helen George is 40 so Trixie is in line with her age.

Bignanna · 12/01/2025 21:10

I didn’t catch What Miss Higgins said was her favourite flower— anybody ?

Also how the fk is Trixie still there?! Should she not be in New York?

She's commuting to keep her skills up to date.... babies aren't born in New York, apparently. Nevermind the fact her husband was supposed to be bankrupt.

The NHS wasn't in New York. Isn't it that she wants to keep some sort of UK thing up-to-date?
