Saddle up for the return of Call The Midwife
BBC1, Sunday 18 April, 8pm
Under normal circumstances, this tenth series of Call The Midwife would have begun in January, but the filming was delayed by five months, thanks to the pandemic. The only other unfortunate consequence has been the series’ length being reduced from eight episodes to seven. Change is afoot in the fictional version of Poplar, too, as Sister Julienne (Jenny Agutter) must decide whether a private clinic venture that will create muchneeded income for Nonnatus House is a suitable workplace for the Sisters. The debate causes an unusual degree of tension between her and Dr Turner (Stephen Mcgann), who’s strongly against private healthcare. Meanwhile, Lucille and Sister Frances are startled when a baby boy is born without legs below the knee. HHHH
