Call The Midwife

BBC1, 8pm, today

It’s only a couple of weeks since we last saw the midwives in the Christmas special, but time has moved on in Poplar.

As spring arrives, Nonnatus House welcomes two new nuns, the experienced Sister Hilda and newly qualified Sister Frances, who must acclimatise to the changing East End. A complicated multiple birth tests the skills of some of the midwives, but Trixie has to face her fears and Valerie deals with a shocking case that arrives unexpectedly.
