Call the midwife

The Christmas special of call the midwife is on bbc 1 in 2 parts again. The first part is on at 20:15 on Christmas day and the second part is on at 20:30 on boxing day. I am not a fan of the Christmas special been in 2 parts. I wonder how doctor Turner and his simpering wife will save the world.

Dr T at the "vanguard"? Please don't say that the films will end up being the Dr T show!

If Rosalind and Cyril were really responsible they would have used a condom.

Susan Mullucks is back again.

Wasn't it Gwen's father who had the Blackpool contacts?

Next week I'm hoping to see Beryl swanning around like Margo Leadbetter at Geoffrey's gaff, and in a kaftan rather than the grey mac!

We guessed lupus too.

Sister MJ reciting Sonnet 73 really got to me. My DM is getting on for 90 with Alzheimer’s. It struck a chord.

LIZS · 15/02/2026 21:05

No episode until March 1st

Isn’t that what House always tests people for? I got tested for it once. My nose swelled up like I’d been punched and it was so tender. Never did find out what it was.

Show quote history

My daughter (big House fan) was screaming LUPUS at the TV 😁
"It's Lupus..... it's actually frigging lupus". Daughter was very excited.

“Confirmed bachelor”

True, but does she know what that tells us?

Does Beryl realise Geoffrey is gay?

Oh everyone knows.
But it's very much "lets not say it out loud because it's 1971".

Yes, please. Do you think he’ll take her somewhere for ‘a makeover’?
New clothes, hairstyle and possibly even a little light makeup?

The thing is the Pill was marketed as a method so you didn't need condoms.

I guessed breast cancer and lupus <smug> I think by the time the cancer is coming through the skin that chaps prognosis wouldn’t be good though 😢

Feel bit sorry for Rosalind, she must be fertile Myrtle!! That said I fell pregnant in similiar circumstances 🤦‍♀️😂

They could just move CTM to a more DN based show which I think would still be entertaining in the 1970s (it’s entertaining now 🙈😂 I’m a DN!!) you don’t need the nuns 🤷‍♀️

I don’t know… I can see her having a moment of shock/realisation in the next episode after spotting a man in his bed or something.

I have just put a couple of photos on the new thread that I hope everyone will like 🙂

I had forgotten that Italians put a ribbon on the door to let you know a baby has arrived. Nice reminder of a nice custom.

WonderfulSmith · 15/02/2026 20:16

Rosalind is up the stick.

We saw that coming a mile off, didn't we?

suburburban · 15/02/2026 22:04

Enjoying the musical interludes that seemed to be rare in some of the late 60s series

Is that right? I didn’t know that.

Gasp0deTheW0nderD0g · 15/02/2026 22:55

Before AIDS, it wasn't really a thing to use both. Anyway, she was a virgin and he'd been celibate since Lucille left, so no need to worry about STDs, as they were called then, IIRC.

eggandonion · 15/02/2026 23:42

Surely they were VDs? Dire warnings in the problem pages of my mother's Woman's Own of the symptoms.
Also discussion of not being entitled to wear a white wedding dress!

That was moving

ChestnutGrove · 15/02/2026 23:57

Fred and Sr MJ were saying the season was turning and there was a nip in the air, so say it was September. Ros only just found out she is pregnant. So I guess we won't see the baby by the end of the series/year?
