Lovely, I always love to watch it again and again.

Totally corny, absolutely cliched, but I really enjoyed it. Every episode makes me cry at some point. I loved what Trixie was wearing at the end. And could the wee lass who plays Susan be any prettier?

I love the predicted formula to it. We know that there will be a feel good ending wrapped in sentimentality. Perhaps that's what we need rather than the aggression shown in eastenders. Plus it's getting closer to when I started nursing so nostalgia is kicking in with memories of riding a bike wearing a nurses cape by the docks in Bristol.

I kept telling Whatsisname to get a move on, and pop the question to Trixie!

It’s one of the few things I watched yesterday and thought it was ok but not as good as some previous Christmas episodes. Like others here, I do like its gentle style but thought it was slow.

I loved it , over sentimental stuff isn’t my taste , but this just hit the right note for me watching it on my own ,

I loved it to bits. Corny and cliched, yes, with a "Hollywood ending" which was semi parody

but its still hankies out and watch every moment for me and always will be as a celebration among the sentimentality of "what really matters".

I actually did not like it much, it was boring but I watched to the end

I love it, however corny it may be.

I am with you on this one. I love corny, cliched and nostalgic viewing. For me, it is better than some of the aggressive stuff they call entertainment seen on TV.

I think it's past it now. I actually fast forwarded it at times. Somehow just overblown.

In particular, the Christmas Day edition.

Well, not much else to watch really.

Is it time the residents of Nonnatus House moved on?

Matthew had a very nice singing voice.

Trixie seemed to be wearing an outfit made of bacofoil at the end.
