Call the midwife

[TwinklyFawn]

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 thing that sometimes irks is they don't have follow ups on cases, which any long-standing midwife setup would have as mums have more kids.
It's also a bit .. the midwives and nuns enlightening their working class patients when quite a lot of this was women themselves getting fed up and mobilising of their own accord. (Think Dagenham machinist strikers).

Have any of them had cause to mention The Female Eunuch, which would have come out by then

Dr, and - especially- Mrs Turner would not stand another FRCS on their patch.

I’ve recently been catching up on episodes I have missed and when Fred was in the ICU with tetanus the consultant there was a woman.

I recall a female detective sergeant in an ep a couple of years ago.

My mum grew up in a small village during the late 60s and 70s. There was only one gp. However the gp was female.

I think it was series 11.

I have not seen the ‘coming next’ for this week’s programme.

I wasn't paying attention as was falling to sleep.

I've just caught up with last week's episide, and can confidently say I'm never recovering from Dr Turner saying "Sometimes when you get lucky, you get unlucky." with a wry smile.

Nothing will be ok again ever.

That was excruciating

Is Dr T going to prevent Spina Bifida single handed today?

Impetigo?

Omg the relaxation class is nauseating

I bet that he will.

The relaxation class is actually not a million miles from some of the hypnobirthing and NCT sessions I gamely went to when pregnant with my first son. When I was in labour with him I remember hissing to DH "fucking hypnobirthing isn't touching the fucking sides"

Bit worried about tonight's episode.. Hope it doesn't upset me too much...

My grandma was discharged from hospital with a cafiter in 2003. She was really uncomfortable. She had it removed a week later.

worried about that old building
don’t know if I can watch

I don’t know btw just a guessing

I hope you are okay.

😔 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔 😔

We've already had a spina bifida story. Cruel in not getting mum have a cuddle though.

They've repeated many of the stories, they've run out of storylines

It's a sad storyline but I quite like the repeat of older topics again. It's more realistic and perhaps gives a chance to show changing attitudes or reactions to similar issues.

Are there no other doctors at the practice either

Apparently not for miles around, until Dr Timmy returns.
