Call The Midwife.

I loved Lucille, I thought she was a very interesting character. What a shame if she’s been written out.

It all seemed a bit silly how Lucille went home on her own. The scriptwriters probably wouldn’t have married her off if they’d known.

I am assuming the actress playing her wanted to leave the show?

Yes, I think she did want to leave, but the way that storyline was handled just seemed like lazy writing to me. I don't think Lucille would have treated Cyril in that way. Same with the whole Matthew/Trixie storyline too - it just doesn't ring true.

This lady. I've been saying (at home) for a few weeks that she and Cyril are getting close 😊
I'd actually forgotten that his wife is just overseas and presumably they're not divorced?? 😬

I think Cyril and the other newly qualified midwife, not Nurse Highland, fancy each other.

Perhaps Lucille will have to be killed off (sorry to be blunt), as his religion wouldn’t allow him to have an affair probably.

I thought that too!

I think he's still married.
It's a pity they wrote Lucille out, it all seemed rather implausible too.

I'd like to see Cyril get together with someone, or is he still married? He is always so kind and supportive.

Actually, they decided to write Matthew out, Olly Rix did not want to leave.

I enjoyed last night’s episode - lots going on! I agree with V3ra, I think the nitrazepam is going to be a problem for Trixie soon. Is she the last of the non-religious midwives from the first series?

The turnips story made me laugh and Alison’s story brought tears to my eyes. Midwife Highland’s story is going to be interesting.

Looks like Trixie will be on her way back to AA.

I think we're going to see a storyline about her becoming addicted to the nitrazepam she's just been prescribed ☹️

I think they had to juggle the script around when they found the actor playing Matthew wanted to leave it can’t have been the way they planned things to go. It is just like the Soaps who sometimes have to make rapid changes that don’t make sense. Hopefully Trixie will settle down a bit.

I wondered about little Jonty too.
I seriously think Trixie needs writing out, and that the new midwife should take her place because she acts well.

There are coach trips to the Call The Midwife area and you are guided by a “midwife”.

Matthew always looks half asleep to me. Perhaps being in New York will wake him up. Who will look after Jonty over there? Is the sacked nanny going with them?

Apparently you can do walking tours round the set. Interesting.
It always makes me smile when in Port Isaac, how many visitors do the Doc Martin walk round the village.

It’s filmed at The Historic Dockyard, Chatham, in Kent.

I agree about Matthew hiding his financial woes. And isn’t his mum loaded anyway?

I read on the front of a newspaper that Trixie and Matthew are ‘an item’ in real life now.

I think they have a specially reconstructed set outside London somewhere, but I know it's not at Elstree?

I know the programme is set in Poplar / Tower Hamlets, but where is it recorded?
I think the writer & the actor/doctor live in Cambridge.
In last weeks episode they went on a day trip to the seaside on a "Dewsway" coach, (Dews buses still based nearby).

Well done Trixie on passing her test so quickly, then being confident enough to drive her husband’s big posh car straightaway. Mind you, confidence never seems in short supply with her.

Why on earth doesn’t Matthew just come out and say he is in financial difficulties, and simply can’t afford the flat in the Barbican, the sporty car she wants, the expensive nursery school, the posh sofa……?

Jonty looked like a baby, not a toddler - surely he's at least two?

It’s a shame Vera has ended. I liked that.

Me too, it’s fiction

Me too, gg, and I just take it as it comes.

I still find it easy viewing for a Sunday evening.
