The Call the Midwife Facebook page had a post today confirming that there will be a 2020 Christmas special and that season/series 10 will air next year, so they must have figured they’ll be able to resume shooting in due course.

I can imagine the Christmas special: "A magical blizzard takes the cast to the future and strands each of them in a different room of various people's homes.  It's now up to Sister Monica Joan, who was left behind, to try and get everyone back, one at a time, to a specific and individual room of Nonnatus House in time for Christmas so they can each spend the holiday isolated from one another, like people in the past totally do."

I just finished a book called Flying Angels.  One of the characters was a midwife in Poplar before she joined the RAF Medevac group in WWII.  It's fiction but it was fun to see the references to the East End and where the character grew up.

I've always thought that when they pull the plug on this show, the creators could do a prequel showing the Sisters of the Order to St. Raymond Nonnatus in the East End in earlier years.  They could do another 10-12 seasons if they started in the 30s and then took them through the war years.

I got the book through Amazon UK (substantially cheaper than Amazon.com)

It is well worth shelling out for though, IMO.  There's contributions from pretty near all the cast and it gives a summary of each episode together with detailed looks at each season.  A lot of behind the scenes photos and interviews with the behind the camera people (writers/producers/props etc)

Yes,  quite substantial and must weigh 5lbs!

Can you tell us about your character Matthew Aylward in Call the Midwife and what is he like to play?

He’s a decent man. It’s an odd starting point – to morally assess a character – but it actually seemed the best way to begin as he is so often trying to work out who he is. Who is he as a new father? Who is he without his wife? Who is he in the community he’s consciously stepping into more and more? In every situation he seems to strive to do the most decent thing he can, or at least ask himself what that would be. He’s intelligent but also sort of guileless, which I find quite an odd combination in people, and he’s been out of his depth with so many things owing to the storms that throw him around. What keeps him moving forward is holding himself to a high standard and helping people around him."
