Call The Midwife In The Media

BBC Media Centre Call The Midwife page

It's interviews with the cast about what is going to happen with their characters so obviously somewhat spoilery.  There's also a synopsis of the first episode.

Doesn't look like there will be any mention of Patsy or Delia although possibly that could happen later.

Thanks. I read through it all, figuring I'll probably forget a bunch by the spring when it airs on PBS.

Since Call the Midwife is basically on loop in my house....spoilers don't matter to me.....I'll watch it over and over again.

Ditto. I just finished another full series rewatch to ready myself for Sunday's premiere!  Too bad the Netflix ones are edited, but I didn't think I'd have time to do the UK airing episodes as well.

They're shorter; some of the scenes are cut down or removed.  Same for the PBS broadcasts, they aren't the same length as the UK showings.  But the Christmas episodes on Netflix appear to be the full shows.

Are the Netflix and PBS episodes identical?  Also, would you get the full episodes on the DVD's?

I thought they were edited because I remember Jane marrying that Reverand, but I haven't found an ep that showed her departure or said anything.

I don't remember that at all.  I remember them becoming pen pals once he moved to his new area, but Jane left after Season 3 and I don't recall any on-screen mention or scene about a wedding or anything about her departure (she was there and then just disappeared the following season).

See thats the thing, I thought I remembered something in the show that explained her exit.  If you look on some other sites, they say she married the good Reverand and went to Africa with him.  But I can't place an episode or an exact scene.....its so confusing.

Because I don't think it ever aired.  Even the actress who played Jane says her exit was left vague.  Maybe the real-life Jane married Applebee-Thornton?

Miriam Margolyes will be guesting for the Christmas special and the first episode of Season 8.  Three new permanent cast members have been added: Fenella Woolgar as Sister Hilda, Ella Bruccoleri as Sister Frances, a postulant and Georgie Glenn as Miss Higgins, Dr. Turner's new receptionist. 

 

How exciting!

I wondered what happened to her? It seems it wasn't her choice to leave as it was others?  I liked her and thought it would be nice to see her with the Reverend or have her come back. She was also anxious like Sister Cynthia but in a different way.

In the books, it's confirmed that Jane did marry the reverend Applebee Thornton and they were missionaries in Africa. I can't recommend the books highly enough! They are wonderful. I was sad for days when I finished them because I wanted more☺

I wonder why they didn't even have a voice-over about that at the end of the show if she wasn't coming back? Would have been nice to at least get a Xmas card or something explaining her absence and then she can return if the time and desire was there.

My DIL said to get the books also so I will with an open mind they are one thing, the show another. I love period historical books and know I will enjoy them.

They were really funny together.

Don't forget to check/set your DVRs and reminders for the Christmas special on Wednesday, December 25, 9 PM EST in the US. Until last year, my DVR wouldn't recognize it as a part of the show and I had to set the special separately and I wanted to give a heads up in case anyone else has this problem.

Thanks for the reminder.  We'll be away over Christmas,  and I would NOT want to miss it!!!!
