Call the midwife

I love watching it because it reminds me of all the things I did as a nurse and especially last night testing the wees with test tube and bunsen burner.

I cried off and on all the way through, for Barbara, for the young unmarried mother as then called, and for the vicar. Couldn't stop by the end but love watching it.

I thought last night's episode found just the right balance of sadness and hope.

Did anyone else notice the chap who played the unctuous Mr Collins in the Colin Firth version of Pride and Prejudice played the Dad who was in a relationship with his neighbour?

I'm looking forward to the Christmas special.

A wonderful programme that I will miss. Can't wait until Christmas.
The acting is wonderfully understated and it's emotional without being too gushy. May it long continue.

Yes, I noticed him Blinko

He's been in quite a few other things too.

Have just finished watching. More tears for Barbara, for the very young unmarried mother, the two chaps. Hope for Nurse Crane and the Police Sergeant!! ( her bad back recovered quickly!!) Loved the film show, in fact loved the whole thing!!!
Curiously, perhaps, my reaction to the news of the death of President Kennedy was exactly the same as it was fifty years ago, - ' Oh my god, NO'! Not sure that the present president would evoke such shocked emotion!!!!

niggly, my thoughts too went to my reaction when JFK was shot. I hope for joy Phyllis and the police officer , the tenderness between the two men was lovely to see and hear

Loved this series and cried during at least 5 of them. Poor vicar.

I must say I'm quite relieved the series has come to an end. All this crying has left me feeling shattered and its going to take me until December to pull myself together (fingers crossed that Trixie finds happiness with the vicar)

Trixie and the vicar are an item in RL, of course...

This has been quite a series. They've tackled some serious issues along the way. I've used a whole box of Kleenex over the last two episodes, I think!

I wasn't sure if the father this week was Mr Collins from P&P, thanks for the confirmation.

I agree Grannyben the series goes from strength to strength, but this one has felt like going through the emotional wringer!

“Trixie and the Vicar” ! Sounds like the title of a book!

Or a risqué fancy dress party!

Reported. Good try but not good enough
