Call the midwife

People hang on to favourite specs. I definitely remember teachers back in the 60s wearing glasses like Sheila.

Do you think Sheila Turner will get a new pair of glasses?

Hope so, they really are awful and so 1950's.

I agree. I really liked Katherine's one for the same reason. So many wedding dresses seem to be either tarty or rather 'Shirley Basseyish' ( if you know what I mean!!)

Loved the wedding dress, so much nicer than the revealing ones these days.

Series One was set in 1957 .. the year I was born. New series will be set in 1967. Will be interesting to see how far Heidi Thomas can take the story .. surely no further than 1970!

Not sure when CTM was originally set, I imagine soon after the birth of the NHS. Now we are Christmas 1966 I think?

I know we have seen many midwives come and go, but luckily, Jenny Agutter’s character, Trixie and the Turners don’t seem to have aged much over 15 or so years. Apart from Sister Julienne wearing glasses of course.

I enjoyed it as always, a bit of a happy escape from reality.

Nice to see Phyllis remembering Barbara.
But surely the poor woman deserves the dignity of her own bedroom at her age, instead of being expected to share with a series of young girls.

Really enjoyed it and loved Lucille’s dress. Great to watch a programme with no bad language and gratuitous violence.

The mixture as before.
