New series starts this evening, so with no big debate, no negative comments.......just a simple yes or no will suffice, will you be watching?
I will!

It’s not afraid to tackle some very difficult subjects which prevents it from being impossibly twee.

It tackled a very difficult subject this evening, one which is still affecting people today.

I watched it. Love it.
Typical man, my dh said... 1966, World Cup. smile

Yes! I have loved Call the Midwife from the very first series.
It’s not afraid to tackle some very difficult subjects which prevents it from being impossibly twee.

Straight after it tonight there was a programme on BBC4 with Stephen McGann talking about the making of the series.
Such a fascinating insight into the meticulous research which goes on to ensure the episodes are as authentic as possible.

Worth seeing if anyone missed it.

I watched, for the first time. Interesting story theme about radiation.

Yes I watched. It’s 1966 the year I met dh. Another time a difference world.

Yes, but will watch on iPlayer tomorrow as I was on the 'phone to an old friend tonight. I’m loving revisiting past episodes on the Drama channel on Sunday evenings, too.

Clearly in a minority i find call the midwife nauseating....

Yes indeed here too!
One of the actors was interviewed last week and said they were due to start filming again now: three more series have been commissioned, plus a Christmas special ?

I remember 1966 so well. The year I left school, aged 16.
