Call the Midwife is a British period drama television series based on the best-selling memoirs of former nurse Jennifer Worth, who died shortly before the first episode was broadcast.[1] It is set in the 1950s and 1960s and for the first three series centred primarily on Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine), based on the real Worth. In the first episode, set in 1957, she begins a new job as a midwife at a nursing convent in the deprived Poplar district of east London. The programme's ensemble cast has also included Jenny Agutter, Pam Ferris, Judy Parfitt, Laura Main, Miranda Hart, Helen George, Bryony Hannah, Charlotte Ritchie and Emerald Fennell. Vanessa Redgrave delivers framing voiceovers in the role of \"mature Jenny\",[2] and continues to do so even after the younger version of the character was written out of the series.
Welcome back to a new season of \"Call the Midwife\"! (All Photos: Courtesy of Laurence Cendrowicz)Welcome Carmen to the fabulous and fun world of Telly Visions recaps! She'll be handling Call the Midwife this season, as we thought it'd be fun to finally give fans of that show a space to talk about the new episodes, same as we've done for Downton Abbey, Sherlock and Mr. Selfridge fans. Or, you know, just for any of you that don't want to slog through my several thousand word missives on those other shows. (For those of you that are wondering, I'm still on duty for Mr. Selfridge recaps but as some of you might have already guessed, I'm out of town at the moment, so that'll be going up in the morning. I'm sure it'll still be predictably massive.) Enjoy!
Chummy decides to nurse her mother at home until the end, with the help of her midwife friends, of course. Sister Monica Joan, after becoming quite disoriented at first by her own family memories, is given a purpose of sorts as she assists Chummy in her time of need providing her with extraordinary spiritual support and wise counsel.
Midwifery is a long standing tradition in the UK, with midwives being the lead carers for women with low risk, uncomplicated pregnancies. They also provide shared care alongside obstetricians with whom they have a good working relationship (most of the time!). A midwife in the UK has a very diverse role. They practice within an overstretched maternity service, caring for women from all walks of life. Times are often stressful, but many midwives have their individual coping mechanisms and lean on each other for support. To bring life into the world is a true privilege and one that as a midwife, I most certainly cherish. During particularly hard days (we all have them!), I take comfort that my work has a positive impact on the women I care for, or at least have some influence on the beginning of a brand new life.
It's spring in Poplar, and you know what that means: it's time for Phyllis to visit the school to see its community garden and check on their vaccinations. It's kind of cool that they can just make every student follow a heavily tested life-saving protocol; makes you think! Today we meet two new students: brothers called Rahul and Jalal. These adorable scamps just recently emigrated from Sylhet in East Pakistan, and have a great grasp of English thanks to their mom. Their vaccination records are a little funky, and while Phyllis can see that they've got scarring consistent with vaccinations it's impossible to say what for. Thankfully, Phyllis LOVES to follow up on things, so they should be all set.
At the Turner's surgery, Shelagh jumps at a chance to corner Trixie. Here's the deal: our friends are trying to raise the money to get an incubator for the surgery, and while they started off strong, the effort has petered out. Shelagh wants to get the whole community involved but isn't sure how. Why should we care Miss Higgins explains: if they have their own incubator, they won't have to refer as many women to St. Cuthbert's, and they'll be able to stay in the community (a real theme this season). Trixie, of course, agrees to help out.
That's right, the midwife who first introduced us to Poplar and its pregnant patients is leaving to take up a position as a nurse at a Marie Curie cancer hospital, swapping bringing life into the world with helping those at the end of it.
Sad news it most certainly is, but the light at the end of the tunnel Philip Worth, the husband of Call the Midwife author Jennifer Worth, appeared in tonight's series 3 finale too, so, though we won't get to watch it, the prim and proper midwife's heart - which was battered by the shock death of her boyfriend Alec earlier this series - is on the mend.
The series three finale, which was sure to leave many a Call the Midwife fan reaching for the tissues, also saw Trixie share her first kiss with curate Tom, Chummy's mother Lady Browne pass away and Shelagh and Doctor Turner get a call from the adoption agency offering them a little baby girl.
