Call the Midwife is a moving and intimate insight into the colorful world of midwifery and family life in 1950’s East London. We are introduced to the community through the eyes of young nurse Jenny Lee as she arrives at Nonnatus House to live and work as a midwife alongside an Order of Nuns.
As Jenny comes to terms with her new life, we meet some phenomenal people who prove that their warmth, resilience and determination are to be admired beyond measure. At the heart of this world are the Sisters of St. Raymond Nonnatus who have been active in the East End as Anglican nursing nuns since the beginning of the 20th century.
The Sisters and the midwives of Nonnatus House carry out many nursing duties across the community. However, with between 80 and 100 babies being born each month in Poplar alone, their primary work is to help bring safe childbirth to women in the area and to look after their countless newborns.
Starring newcomer Jessica Raine as Jenny, the cast includes Jenny Agutter, Pam Ferris, Miranda Hart andJudy Parfitt. Three other new faces, Helen George, Bryony Hannah and Laura Main complete the regular ensemble cast. Vanessa Redgrave provides the narration as the mature Jenny.

ReplyDeleteThe person who sent me season one of Call the Midwife has had a bit of trouble so I am hoping to post season two soon but I'm not sure when that will be. Watch Downton seasons 1-3 again? ;)

ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing Call the Midwife. It was great! I also love your site which I find very positive, progressive and informative. You help victims find their voice. You are a beacon in this sometimes dark world.
ReplyDeleteThank you so much for sharing Call the Midwife. It was a very refreshing show.. Luved season 1 and anxiously awaiting season 2.
ReplyDeleteThanks for what you do .... I have a small understanding as I work with the Salvation Army and see so much...
Thanks again.
Cheers, Gee
I have so enjoyed your site, as well! This is where I became aquainted with Downton Abbey and Call the Midwife. Never heard of either until I found your site. Spent way too much time on the internet watching them, but that's besides the point...right? :) I was wondering if you have heard of the BBC series "Merlin." If so, do you know where we can watch season 5? Considered putting that one on here as well? Thanks again!
ReplyDeleteAny chance you will be able to post season 2 of Call the Midwife? I saw that you had run into a bit of a problem. Thanks so much for posting Season 1.
ReplyDeleteI see that Season 2 began on March 31, 2013. When will you be able to post it? Thanks! Love it!
ReplyDeleteThank you for posting the entire series one shows. I came to see what Pam Ferris was doing.. and they're all good. Hollywood doesn't do "real" like this. Ya run the gamut of emotions on this one, y' do.
