1
00:00:25,542 --> 00:00:29,582
Welcome to the tenth anniversary
celebrations of Call The Midwife,
2
00:00:29,582 --> 00:00:34,182
full of love stories, crime,
comedy, tragedy,
3
00:00:34,182 --> 00:00:38,902
all fired by the ties between
family, friends and community.
4
00:00:38,902 --> 00:00:40,942
With nursing at its core,
Call The Midwife
5
00:00:40,942 --> 00:00:42,942
depends on human interaction
6
00:00:42,942 --> 00:00:45,622
more than most shows.
7
00:00:45,622 --> 00:00:49,382
SHE SOBS
Oh, lass.
8
00:00:49,382 --> 00:00:52,422
Since the series launched in 2012,
9
00:00:52,422 --> 00:00:55,942
millions around the world have taken
our characters to their hearts.
10
00:01:00,822 --> 00:01:03,422
Hello, I'm Jennifer Lee.
11
00:01:03,422 --> 00:01:06,222
We are the Sisters
of St Raymond Nonnatus,
12
00:01:06,222 --> 00:01:09,902
midwives and district nurses,
present at life's commencement
13
00:01:09,902 --> 00:01:11,982
and at its end.
14
00:01:11,982 --> 00:01:14,502
The name's Turner, patient's GP.
15
00:01:14,502 --> 00:01:16,862
Sister Bernadette,
this is Nurse Lee.
16
00:01:16,862 --> 00:01:18,182
Oh, greetings.
17
00:01:18,182 --> 00:01:22,182
I understand you qualified
by a whisker,
18
00:01:22,182 --> 00:01:26,262
Nurse Fortescue-Cholmeley-Browne.
I did pass.
19
00:01:26,262 --> 00:01:27,942
It was a bit of a scrape.
20
00:01:27,942 --> 00:01:31,022
Call The Midwife is a little
bit like a watch.
21
00:01:31,022 --> 00:01:32,222
If you take the back off it,
22
00:01:32,222 --> 00:01:34,942
you see all these tiny individual
wheels and cogs,
23
00:01:34,942 --> 00:01:37,542
and not only does each have
a role of real importance,
24
00:01:37,542 --> 00:01:39,262
but it works in conjunction
25
00:01:39,262 --> 00:01:40,782
with other wheels and cogs.
26
00:01:40,782 --> 00:01:43,582
So every character in the drama has
a particular relationship
27
00:01:43,582 --> 00:01:45,062
with another one.
28
00:01:45,062 --> 00:01:48,862
Nurse Gilbert?
Welcome. I'm Sister Julienne.
29
00:01:48,862 --> 00:01:52,502
I'm Patience Mount,
but people call me Patsy.
30
00:01:52,502 --> 00:01:54,382
This is Fred, our handyman.
31
00:01:58,342 --> 00:02:00,222
Phyllis Crane, SRN, SCM.
32
00:02:00,222 --> 00:02:01,622
Hello!
33
00:02:01,622 --> 00:02:04,582
One of the things that makes
the job special,
34
00:02:04,582 --> 00:02:06,182
is that it's an ensemble cast
35
00:02:06,182 --> 00:02:09,942
and they're all wonderful
and it's a joy to act with them.
36
00:02:11,022 --> 00:02:12,102
Nurse calling.
37
00:02:16,542 --> 00:02:20,182
Valerie Dyer, I'm a nurse.
Queen Alexandra's Army Corps.
38
00:02:20,182 --> 00:02:22,142
BELL RINGS, DOOR CLOSES
39
00:02:24,222 --> 00:02:25,702
Oh, hello, Reggie, love.
40
00:02:25,702 --> 00:02:27,222
Hello, Mum.
41
00:02:29,222 --> 00:02:33,222
We're going to go straight ahead and
then turn right into Lisbon Street.
42
00:02:33,222 --> 00:02:34,982
Don't forget your hand signals.
43
00:02:34,982 --> 00:02:37,942
I just stick out my arm, don't I?
44
00:02:37,942 --> 00:02:40,502
Slow down now, Chum.
How?
45
00:02:41,942 --> 00:02:43,222
Lean in as you turn.
46
00:02:43,222 --> 00:02:46,502
I don't know how to turn!
I've forgotten how to turn!
47
00:02:46,502 --> 00:02:48,982
THEY SHRIEK
48
00:02:48,982 --> 00:02:52,782
Brake! Brake, Nurse!
BIKE BELLS RING, CRASHING
49
00:02:52,782 --> 00:02:55,022
What happened? They
were going too fast!
50
00:02:59,622 --> 00:03:03,462
I think the success of the show
really is down to the fact that
51
00:03:03,462 --> 00:03:06,462
Heidi Thomas is still
writing for us.
52
00:03:06,462 --> 00:03:09,742
The programme has showcased the life
and work of a midwife
53
00:03:09,742 --> 00:03:13,222
and the essential
humanity of the role.
54
00:03:13,222 --> 00:03:15,382
Absolutely beautiful.
55
00:03:15,382 --> 00:03:19,182
You say that as if you've never
heard it before.
56
00:03:19,182 --> 00:03:21,742
I haven't, for a while.
57
00:03:21,742 --> 00:03:24,862
That's it, Carrie,
put another one behind you.
58
00:03:24,862 --> 00:03:26,942
I think, Call the Midwife has
59
00:03:26,942 --> 00:03:30,942
really brought
midwifery into people's minds.
60
00:03:30,942 --> 00:03:33,062
It's become a sort of household
name in a way that
61
00:03:33,062 --> 00:03:34,982
perhaps it wasn't before.
62
00:03:34,982 --> 00:03:37,542
It's discussed more, it's become
63
00:03:37,542 --> 00:03:41,302
a career possibility for many women
and men.
64
00:03:41,302 --> 00:03:45,222
The word midwife means "with woman" .
65
00:03:46,342 --> 00:03:49,862
A woman in that situation needs
somebody by her side,
66
00:03:49,862 --> 00:03:53,102
whatever mistakes or choices
brought her to our door.
67
00:03:53,102 --> 00:03:56,182
That's it. That's it.
Keep it coming.
68
00:03:56,182 --> 00:03:58,222
SHE GROANS
69
00:03:58,222 --> 00:04:00,502
Gravity can do amazing things.
70
00:04:00,502 --> 00:04:04,062
It keeps our feet on the ground
and bring babies down to earth.
71
00:04:06,662 --> 00:04:08,342
You have to remain
72
00:04:08,342 --> 00:04:12,982
calm and measured in your responses
73
00:04:12,982 --> 00:04:14,582
and you have to be
74
00:04:14,582 --> 00:04:16,582
kind and empathetic.
75
00:04:19,022 --> 00:04:23,862
BABY CRIES
You're unbelievably brave
76
00:04:23,862 --> 00:04:25,742
and I wish we all had your courage.
77
00:04:34,382 --> 00:04:35,542
Thank you.
78
00:04:35,542 --> 00:04:39,902
I thought I deserved all
manner of medals. Up all night,
79
00:04:39,902 --> 00:04:41,742
cycling for miles,
80
00:04:41,742 --> 00:04:44,862
a wall of wimples at every
single mealtime.
81
00:04:44,862 --> 00:04:47,982
Ain't you ever heard of a mother's
instincts before?!
82
00:04:47,982 --> 00:04:50,622
I need him to come!
83
00:04:50,622 --> 00:04:54,822
Blondes have more fun, they do.
84
00:04:54,822 --> 00:04:56,822
Ain't that right, Nurse?
85
00:04:59,662 --> 00:05:00,942
Absolutely.
86
00:05:02,782 --> 00:05:05,902
I didn't expect glamour
when I came into nursing,
87
00:05:05,902 --> 00:05:08,542
but I had hoped for something more
than a nice hymn,
88
00:05:08,542 --> 00:05:11,702
discussing square dancing
and drinking Horlicks.
89
00:05:11,702 --> 00:05:14,502
We are midwives.
90
00:05:14,502 --> 00:05:18,822
And we're also nurses
and we're your friends.
91
00:05:18,822 --> 00:05:23,942
While we're looking after you, we'll
be whichever of those you need most.
92
00:05:23,942 --> 00:05:25,582
SHE SOBS
93
00:05:25,582 --> 00:05:28,182
Ah!
SHE LAUGHS
94
00:05:28,182 --> 00:05:34,382
You mark my words,
the joy of midwifery never dims.
95
00:05:36,662 --> 00:05:39,782
With music you can somehow
express things that
96
00:05:39,782 --> 00:05:41,942
go beyond what you can say
with words.
97
00:05:41,942 --> 00:05:46,262
We're here in Abbey Road Studios,
where we have just recorded an
98
00:05:46,262 --> 00:05:47,822
episode of season ten.
99
00:05:53,862 --> 00:05:57,982
The most important instrument in the
palette of sounds is actually
100
00:05:57,982 --> 00:06:01,862
the, the dialogue,
the script of Heidi Thomas
101
00:06:01,862 --> 00:06:06,542
and the music is written in
counterpoint with the,
with the story.
102
00:06:06,542 --> 00:06:12,702
What happens in the story resonates
in the, in the music
103
00:06:12,702 --> 00:06:15,702
and creates an avid language.
104
00:06:15,702 --> 00:06:19,142
It is just a universal
human language.
105
00:06:29,302 --> 00:06:32,782
Some of the scenes I like to score
the most are the birth scenes.
106
00:06:35,102 --> 00:06:37,902
It's the mystery of
the creation of life,
107
00:06:37,902 --> 00:06:41,582
and the music can go beyond
what we see in the visuals.
108
00:06:59,342 --> 00:07:03,982
A receiver for the placenta, please,
Pupil Midwife Corrigan.
109
00:07:03,982 --> 00:07:05,582
Yes, Mrs Turner.
110
00:07:24,062 --> 00:07:26,782
Playing the part of a
competent midwife
111
00:07:26,782 --> 00:07:28,702
is not the same as being one.
112
00:07:28,702 --> 00:07:32,942
Confronted by the reality,
could any of us really handle it?
113
00:07:32,942 --> 00:07:35,182
I could deliver a baby.
114
00:07:35,182 --> 00:07:38,902
Absolutely not! I think
I'd probably run the other way!
115
00:07:38,902 --> 00:07:40,062
SHE LAUGHS
116
00:07:40,062 --> 00:07:43,102
Because it's not like it is
on TV in real life.
117
00:07:43,102 --> 00:07:46,062
If I see someone who is quite
largely pregnant
118
00:07:46,062 --> 00:07:48,102
and likely to have a baby any time,
119
00:07:48,102 --> 00:07:51,182
I move very far away,
so that I am not spotted
120
00:07:51,182 --> 00:07:53,062
because the idea of being asked
121
00:07:53,062 --> 00:07:54,942
whether I could do anything...
SHE LAUGHS
122
00:07:54,942 --> 00:07:56,582
Yeah, I, I'd sort of think,
123
00:07:56,582 --> 00:07:59,462
oh, I'd know what maybe
some of the stages were.
124
00:07:59,462 --> 00:08:04,222
Erm, not really. No, I think,
I think I'd rather,
125
00:08:04,222 --> 00:08:06,302
erm, leave it to the experts.
126
00:08:06,302 --> 00:08:09,182
In terms of my favourite birth,
gosh, there have been so many.
127
00:08:09,182 --> 00:08:11,862
I'd like to know how many
I've done on the show.
128
00:08:11,862 --> 00:08:14,902
There's been some really
incredible ones and I think,
129
00:08:14,902 --> 00:08:18,142
each time it's an emotional
bubble that bursts.
130
00:08:19,582 --> 00:08:22,822
Even though it's acting,
it somehow feels real.
131
00:08:25,942 --> 00:08:27,382
She says, I love you.
132
00:08:28,942 --> 00:08:32,102
And your father loves you.
133
00:08:32,102 --> 00:08:35,462
And if you never hear his voice,
134
00:08:35,462 --> 00:08:38,022
or if I never hear yours...
135
00:08:40,342 --> 00:08:43,542
..just know that we love you...
136
00:08:43,542 --> 00:08:45,502
..from the bottom of our hearts.
137
00:08:56,942 --> 00:09:01,942
I never stop being moved every time
I see a baby born.
138
00:09:01,942 --> 00:09:05,542
It doesn't matter how many times.
139
00:09:05,542 --> 00:09:09,502
And I think that's what the audience
love too, it's fresh life.
140
00:09:09,502 --> 00:09:11,502
And if you're suggesting that
a few deep breaths
141
00:09:11,502 --> 00:09:14,822
and not thinking about what's for
dinner is all there is to labour,
142
00:09:14,822 --> 00:09:17,662
you are leading your patients
up the fairy way.
143
00:09:21,422 --> 00:09:24,742
SHE EXHALES, MOANS
That's it.
144
00:09:26,822 --> 00:09:30,022
SHE GASPS, BABY CRIES
145
00:09:31,422 --> 00:09:33,302
Congratulations!
146
00:09:38,302 --> 00:09:39,862
One baby.
147
00:09:39,862 --> 00:09:42,422
Babies come along when
they feel inclined.
148
00:09:42,422 --> 00:09:44,982
We can only prepare,
we can never predict!
149
00:09:46,382 --> 00:09:48,622
SHIP'S HORN BLARES
150
00:09:53,222 --> 00:09:55,702
Oh, Lord, if I've ever given you
151
00:09:55,702 --> 00:09:59,142
the impression that I don't
believe in you,
152
00:09:59,142 --> 00:10:01,302
I absolutely promise that I do now.
153
00:10:07,182 --> 00:10:09,262
Oh! I did it!
154
00:10:12,302 --> 00:10:15,622
It's a little boy, Noelle.
Oh, he's beautiful!
155
00:10:15,622 --> 00:10:17,382
But that dress is ruined.
156
00:10:17,382 --> 00:10:20,382
That dress just had
the best day of its life.
157
00:10:20,382 --> 00:10:23,222
I want to be glad but
I don't know how.
158
00:10:25,182 --> 00:10:27,942
Let him hold your finger.
159
00:10:27,942 --> 00:10:30,062
Let him know you're here.
160
00:10:33,982 --> 00:10:35,262
You have a son.
161
00:10:41,662 --> 00:10:42,702
Hello.
162
00:10:47,702 --> 00:10:51,502
Call The Midwife has not shied
away from difficult subjects.
163
00:10:53,822 --> 00:10:55,142
What is it?
164
00:10:56,662 --> 00:10:59,782
Baby's had some complications, Ruby.
165
00:10:59,782 --> 00:11:01,022
Spina bifida...
166
00:11:01,022 --> 00:11:02,902
It's a problem with his back.
167
00:11:02,902 --> 00:11:03,982
..tuberculosis...
168
00:11:03,982 --> 00:11:05,262
Yes.
169
00:11:05,262 --> 00:11:07,702
The lesions are small.
170
00:11:07,702 --> 00:11:09,982
..female genital mutilation...
171
00:11:09,982 --> 00:11:11,382
But there is more than one.
172
00:11:11,382 --> 00:11:14,062
There's nothing there but a scar
from front to back.
173
00:11:14,062 --> 00:11:15,262
Are you sure?
..abortion...
174
00:11:15,262 --> 00:11:18,142
This is England and we do not give
out abortions to any woman
175
00:11:18,142 --> 00:11:20,022
who demands one.
176
00:11:20,022 --> 00:11:21,182
..racism.
177
00:11:23,342 --> 00:11:26,862
One as necessary,
just as you've been taking them.
178
00:11:26,862 --> 00:11:30,062
I tell you what, every woman
in the family way is going to be
179
00:11:30,062 --> 00:11:31,622
banging your doors down for these.
180
00:11:31,622 --> 00:11:33,342
What's that magic stuff
in them again?
181
00:11:33,342 --> 00:11:36,062
The tablets are known as Distaval
182
00:11:36,062 --> 00:11:39,062
and the magic ingredient is
called thalidomide.
183
00:11:39,062 --> 00:11:42,742
Well, better get some more in.
I'm going to spread the word!
184
00:11:42,742 --> 00:11:44,782
Shall we?
185
00:11:44,782 --> 00:11:48,982
I think one of my favourite moments
186
00:11:48,982 --> 00:11:52,702
has to be series five
and thalidomide,
187
00:11:52,702 --> 00:11:56,902
and the reason being that, I was old
enough to remember these kids
188
00:11:56,902 --> 00:11:59,342
playing in the street, they were
a bit older than I was.
189
00:11:59,342 --> 00:12:02,502
Catch your breath for now.
SHE MOANS
190
00:12:12,022 --> 00:12:14,502
What is it, a boy or a girl?
191
00:12:19,822 --> 00:12:23,502
It also affected the
character personally.
192
00:12:23,502 --> 00:12:25,702
It's a daughter.
193
00:12:25,702 --> 00:12:28,782
It involved fantastic
special effects
194
00:12:28,782 --> 00:12:34,062
and enormous commitment to accuracy
and authenticity in the script.
195
00:12:34,062 --> 00:12:37,302
BABY CRIES
196
00:12:39,942 --> 00:12:42,582
Bring her over,
I want to look at her.
197
00:12:53,502 --> 00:12:54,942
My favourite
198
00:12:54,942 --> 00:12:59,422
Call The Midwife scene is probably
the scene in that episode.
199
00:12:59,422 --> 00:13:03,422
An ordinary mum has the baby
in her arms and she uncovers
200
00:13:03,422 --> 00:13:06,782
for the first time that this,
this child is four-limb deficient.
201
00:13:08,742 --> 00:13:10,382
BREATH QUIVERS
202
00:13:11,902 --> 00:13:13,302
Oh, love.
203
00:13:16,182 --> 00:13:18,622
What a mess.
204
00:13:22,422 --> 00:13:24,622
What a mess, eh?
205
00:13:30,142 --> 00:13:33,622
We'll sort something out.
206
00:13:33,622 --> 00:13:35,662
I promise.
207
00:13:37,302 --> 00:13:38,982
Cos you're mine.
208
00:13:39,982 --> 00:13:41,222
Mine.
209
00:13:42,262 --> 00:13:44,462
And I'm not bailing out on you.
210
00:13:53,542 --> 00:13:56,662
But me and Laura worked a lot
211
00:13:56,662 --> 00:14:00,942
with the wonderful animatronic model
which we called Baby Susan,
212
00:14:00,942 --> 00:14:03,022
that's her character's name.
213
00:14:03,022 --> 00:14:06,902
She can hold a rattle in them,
Dr Turner, and a spoon!
214
00:14:06,902 --> 00:14:09,422
She can't get it in her mouth yet,
but...
215
00:14:09,422 --> 00:14:12,262
Most children can't feed themselves
until they're a wee bit older.
216
00:14:12,262 --> 00:14:14,222
One of the most important
prosthetics
217
00:14:14,222 --> 00:14:16,262
we had made was for baby Susan
218
00:14:16,262 --> 00:14:21,062
and we had loads of research
material from Heidi
219
00:14:21,062 --> 00:14:25,422
and we worked with really brilliant
prosthetic technicians.
220
00:14:27,662 --> 00:14:31,302
We were also talking to grown-up
thalidomiders,
221
00:14:31,302 --> 00:14:34,182
who hadn't seen themselves
as babies,
222
00:14:34,182 --> 00:14:37,462
so it was really moving for them.
223
00:14:37,462 --> 00:14:40,262
That's it, lift it off there,
go on.
224
00:14:40,262 --> 00:14:43,022
Look at that! Yay!
Susan, that's for you!
225
00:14:43,022 --> 00:14:45,542
And at that time,
observing those things
226
00:14:45,542 --> 00:14:47,902
and being proud to play a part
in that
227
00:14:47,902 --> 00:14:52,422
is possibly my proudest
moment on Call The Midwife.
228
00:14:52,422 --> 00:14:56,502
Come along, Sally. You can
bring your mother with you.
229
00:14:56,502 --> 00:15:00,142
My favourite story was
incredibly moving.
230
00:15:00,142 --> 00:15:02,062
It was me and Cynthia, Chummy
231
00:15:02,062 --> 00:15:05,382
and Cynthia, that did the birth
for that scene and that was...
232
00:15:05,382 --> 00:15:07,102
..incredibly tough to do
233
00:15:07,102 --> 00:15:11,902
acting-wise and just sort of being
in the moment of that story.
234
00:15:11,902 --> 00:15:16,382
That's an example of a Heidi Thomas
genius script.
235
00:15:16,382 --> 00:15:18,262
I thought it was amazing,
incredibly moving.
236
00:15:36,022 --> 00:15:37,822
I haven't heard it cry yet.
237
00:15:41,302 --> 00:15:43,182
Is it hurt?
238
00:15:44,462 --> 00:15:46,782
Baby's just very, very little,
Sally.
239
00:15:56,182 --> 00:15:58,782
SALLY MOANS
It's just the placenta, Sally.
240
00:16:06,062 --> 00:16:07,622
Can I go home now?
241
00:16:09,062 --> 00:16:11,942
We do deal with the harsher
realities of being
242
00:16:11,942 --> 00:16:15,102
a young black woman in white
British society at that time.
243
00:16:15,102 --> 00:16:17,102
The midwife's here.
244
00:16:17,102 --> 00:16:20,302
Nurse Anderson,
this is Marjory Chivvers.
245
00:16:20,302 --> 00:16:21,462
Hello, Mrs Chivvers.
246
00:16:21,462 --> 00:16:23,182
Textbook pregnancy this time too.
247
00:16:24,502 --> 00:16:27,022
Known Marjory since school.
248
00:16:27,022 --> 00:16:30,622
Biggest complication is likely to be
the mother - bit of a character.
249
00:16:30,622 --> 00:16:33,822
I meet the mother of the expectant
mother, called Mae Stanton,
250
00:16:33,822 --> 00:16:36,262
who's probably not
so pleased to see me.
251
00:16:36,262 --> 00:16:37,342
I need to examine you.
252
00:16:37,342 --> 00:16:39,022
Who died and made her the boss?
253
00:16:39,022 --> 00:16:41,222
Look, if you're going to be
funny you can clear off!
254
00:16:41,222 --> 00:16:42,942
Can't no-one take a joke these days?
255
00:16:42,942 --> 00:16:44,702
Right, Mae, why don't you
get back down...
256
00:16:44,702 --> 00:16:46,222
She doesn't want a foreign
257
00:16:46,222 --> 00:16:49,182
midwife to, you know,
look after her daughter.
258
00:16:49,182 --> 00:16:50,902
Hello, girls!
259
00:16:52,422 --> 00:16:55,542
And how's little... Hands off!
260
00:16:55,542 --> 00:16:57,062
Mrs Stanton!
261
00:17:00,462 --> 00:17:04,222
Come on, girls. Come with me.
262
00:17:04,222 --> 00:17:07,182
I don't want you lot anywhere near
my family!
263
00:17:07,182 --> 00:17:09,862
And especially not her!
264
00:17:11,582 --> 00:17:13,102
Come on, girls.
265
00:17:20,702 --> 00:17:23,822
I did an episode about FGM.
266
00:17:23,822 --> 00:17:27,062
And people couldn't believe
that it was,
267
00:17:27,062 --> 00:17:28,622
sort of, went as far back as that,
268
00:17:28,622 --> 00:17:31,702
that people were addressing it that
far back, but they were and
269
00:17:31,702 --> 00:17:35,142
that was sort of when we were first
starting to see it in this country.
270
00:17:35,142 --> 00:17:39,542
My name is not Mrs Farah.
271
00:17:39,542 --> 00:17:42,422
In my country, a woman does not take
her husband's name.
272
00:17:42,422 --> 00:17:47,462
She is her own person,
called after her own family line.
273
00:17:47,462 --> 00:17:51,022
My name is Nadifa Ghedi Jama!
274
00:17:52,102 --> 00:17:54,902
And no man would dare cut me
or my sisters.
275
00:17:54,902 --> 00:17:58,622
The person who holds a knife
is a woman.
276
00:17:58,622 --> 00:18:02,342
The person who calls Deka back to
be cut is a woman.
277
00:18:02,342 --> 00:18:05,302
Her own mother who loves her!
278
00:18:05,302 --> 00:18:09,422
Who wants her to be respected, to be
clean and to find a good husband!
279
00:18:09,422 --> 00:18:10,982
And to be those things...
280
00:18:13,862 --> 00:18:15,742
..she must be cut.
281
00:18:17,782 --> 00:18:19,462
She will not be scared.
282
00:18:19,462 --> 00:18:21,062
She is braver than me.
283
00:18:34,782 --> 00:18:37,622
Call The Midwife does address some
of the issues
284
00:18:37,622 --> 00:18:39,302
that we have today, I think.
285
00:18:39,302 --> 00:18:43,422
There's a real focus about abortion
and people's opinions on that.
286
00:18:43,422 --> 00:18:48,342
Obviously it was still illegal at
the time, so people were going to
287
00:18:48,342 --> 00:18:52,102
desperate measures to
reach their end goals.
288
00:18:52,102 --> 00:18:55,622
Gran... Gran, has someone been
doing an abortion?
289
00:18:56,902 --> 00:18:58,102
Yes.
290
00:18:59,422 --> 00:19:00,782
Me.
291
00:19:08,702 --> 00:19:11,222
You know it goes on all over.
292
00:19:11,222 --> 00:19:13,782
Just like everybody else does.
293
00:19:13,782 --> 00:19:15,502
She ain't never had this
happen before.
294
00:19:15,502 --> 00:19:17,742
Not once! You wanted towels.
295
00:19:17,742 --> 00:19:20,982
Don't you bring those filthy
articles anywhere near my patient!
296
00:19:20,982 --> 00:19:23,702
Throw them on the floor, please,
so I don't slip in this mess!
297
00:19:23,702 --> 00:19:25,822
Thank you.
298
00:19:25,822 --> 00:19:28,542
Can you put some gloves on,
Nurse Dyer, in case I need you
299
00:19:28,542 --> 00:19:30,062
to prepare some ergometrine?
300
00:19:30,062 --> 00:19:31,942
Sweetheart,
can you tell me your name?
301
00:19:31,942 --> 00:19:33,782
It's Teresa.
SHE GROANS
302
00:19:33,782 --> 00:19:37,062
I'm just going to take a little
look down below, Teresa.
303
00:19:37,062 --> 00:19:39,782
I send them home to bed, usually.
304
00:19:39,782 --> 00:19:41,302
They lose it at night
or the next day.
305
00:19:41,302 --> 00:19:42,902
Move your knees apart for me.
306
00:19:47,942 --> 00:19:50,542
I've never seen anything like this.
Good girl.
307
00:19:50,542 --> 00:19:52,822
We're going to sort this out.
308
00:19:52,822 --> 00:19:56,462
I reckon there was already
something wrong with her.
309
00:19:56,462 --> 00:19:59,462
It's the haemorrhage she's
having now that concerns me.
310
00:19:59,462 --> 00:20:01,702
Did you use instruments?
Yes.
311
00:20:05,542 --> 00:20:07,382
Thank you.
312
00:20:07,382 --> 00:20:10,822
Nurse Dyer. I need sterile pads.
313
00:20:10,822 --> 00:20:14,062
And I need you to call for an
ambulance. I can't do that.
314
00:20:14,062 --> 00:20:17,862
You know I can't.
It's why we sent for her.
315
00:20:19,662 --> 00:20:21,742
You can and you will,
316
00:20:21,742 --> 00:20:24,422
because if either Nurse Dyer or
I have to leave this poor girl's
317
00:20:24,422 --> 00:20:27,302
side to do it, we'll be coming back
here with a police officer.
318
00:20:27,302 --> 00:20:28,782
Won't we?
319
00:20:28,782 --> 00:20:30,782
Yes.
320
00:20:30,782 --> 00:20:33,582
I don't want my mum and dad to know.
321
00:20:33,582 --> 00:20:35,302
I promise, Teresa, right now
322
00:20:35,302 --> 00:20:37,942
nobody in this room is
thinking about anyone but you.
323
00:20:41,862 --> 00:20:43,942
The sets in Call The Midwife
are carefully
324
00:20:43,942 --> 00:20:45,742
built around the stories.
325
00:20:47,302 --> 00:20:49,022
Working with elaborate props,
326
00:20:49,022 --> 00:20:52,662
actors sometimes feel drawn
to the objects around them.
327
00:20:54,582 --> 00:20:57,262
If I were to steal something from
328
00:20:57,262 --> 00:21:00,942
a set on Call The Midwife,
I'm afraid that there are two
329
00:21:00,942 --> 00:21:02,662
main places of focus
and one is my office.
330
00:21:02,662 --> 00:21:07,622
I absolutely love...all
the props in my office.
331
00:21:07,622 --> 00:21:09,262
I'd like to take my uniform home.
332
00:21:09,262 --> 00:21:12,262
I love this building and I would...
333
00:21:12,262 --> 00:21:14,182
Every time I have an idle moment,
334
00:21:14,182 --> 00:21:15,902
I stroll around it and imagine it
335
00:21:15,902 --> 00:21:18,542
as a fabulous house that
I could live in.
336
00:21:18,542 --> 00:21:22,422
And this room that we are in is
actually my en-suite bathroom.
337
00:21:22,422 --> 00:21:24,102
Armchairs. They're not comfy
338
00:21:24,102 --> 00:21:25,822
but they look fantastic.
339
00:21:25,822 --> 00:21:27,942
Yeah, I'd like an armchair.
340
00:21:27,942 --> 00:21:29,102
I'd want to take home that.
341
00:21:29,102 --> 00:21:31,582
Well, I think contractually
it's going to follow me
342
00:21:31,582 --> 00:21:33,102
on every job I do
343
00:21:33,102 --> 00:21:34,982
and I might take it home.
344
00:21:34,982 --> 00:21:37,342
WHISPERS: Don't tell anyone.
345
00:21:37,342 --> 00:21:39,582
There's a few costumes that
I really want to take home.
346
00:21:39,582 --> 00:21:43,502
I've got this beautiful,
bright blue, suede coat, which is
347
00:21:43,502 --> 00:21:46,462
a gorgeous sort of '60s
vibrant colour
348
00:21:46,462 --> 00:21:47,942
and I really want to take it home.
349
00:21:47,942 --> 00:21:53,862
I have been eyeing up the clock
in Dr Turner's surgery.
350
00:21:53,862 --> 00:21:57,102
I really would quite like that
on, on my kitchen wall.
351
00:21:58,342 --> 00:22:00,462
I'd probably take my cross.
352
00:22:01,582 --> 00:22:03,742
And the other thing I'd like to
steal, if I may steal
353
00:22:03,742 --> 00:22:06,582
something else, is a tea set
from the tea table, because so much
354
00:22:06,582 --> 00:22:10,502
of our lives are placed around that
and they're so much of the period.
355
00:22:10,502 --> 00:22:13,382
If there is something I'm allowed to
take home from the set,
356
00:22:13,382 --> 00:22:16,542
it would be an enamel
bucket with a lid.
357
00:22:16,542 --> 00:22:20,382
If Laura Main doesn't bring her
lucky handbag to the set
358
00:22:20,382 --> 00:22:23,782
containing her script,
she freaks out.
359
00:22:23,782 --> 00:22:27,582
So, if there's anything I'd like to
take home, it's the handbag.
360
00:22:27,582 --> 00:22:33,422
I, Georgie, would like the donkey
from the first nativity play.
361
00:22:33,422 --> 00:22:36,542
That was my, I think
it was my very first scene.
362
00:22:36,542 --> 00:22:38,982
There are one or two young men
I wouldn't mind taking home,
363
00:22:38,982 --> 00:22:42,182
but apart from that, no.
364
00:22:42,182 --> 00:22:46,262
In a scene, I may be opening
a letter and when I open it,
365
00:22:46,262 --> 00:22:50,102
someone's taken the trouble to write
the letter to Sister Julienne
366
00:22:50,102 --> 00:22:52,342
and it will be about a problem
they're having.
367
00:22:52,342 --> 00:22:54,342
And it's not a letter
that's being seen,
368
00:22:54,342 --> 00:22:57,142
it's not a part of the story, but
that's what the prop department do
369
00:22:57,142 --> 00:22:58,862
and I might steal one of those.
370
00:23:00,942 --> 00:23:04,982
This is the prop store and we hold
thousands of items here.
371
00:23:06,422 --> 00:23:08,742
I've been to South Africa
with this show
372
00:23:08,742 --> 00:23:10,222
and we've been to Scotland.
373
00:23:13,782 --> 00:23:15,542
South Africa probably was
374
00:23:15,542 --> 00:23:19,862
the hardest challenge I had,
because we were in the heat.
375
00:23:21,262 --> 00:23:23,982
So, we were up against
all the elements.
376
00:23:29,022 --> 00:23:32,102
There've been so many wonderful
scenes over the last ten years.
377
00:23:32,102 --> 00:23:34,822
I think one of my
favourite ones was
378
00:23:34,822 --> 00:23:38,102
when we were in South Africa
and we were travelling back
379
00:23:38,102 --> 00:23:41,022
on the back of a truck that
380
00:23:41,022 --> 00:23:44,462
Dr Turner was driving.
SHE GIGGLES
381
00:23:44,462 --> 00:23:46,982
Quite badly, I have to say.
382
00:23:49,262 --> 00:23:52,422
But we had this wonderful moment,
myself and the ladies, where we
383
00:23:52,422 --> 00:23:58,422
just sort of watched the sunset and
sang. I think we sang Amazing Grace
384
00:23:58,422 --> 00:24:00,622
and it was just this really
peaceful moment.
385
00:24:00,622 --> 00:24:02,342
I don't think
we were even being filmed,
386
00:24:02,342 --> 00:24:04,222
it was just a wonderful moment.
387
00:24:04,222 --> 00:24:09,382
I had huge resistance in me
to going to the Outer Hebrides,
388
00:24:09,382 --> 00:24:11,262
looking at these
pictures of what seemed
389
00:24:11,262 --> 00:24:14,222
to be a very grey
and difficult place,
390
00:24:14,222 --> 00:24:17,062
and I loved the experience
of being there.
391
00:24:22,302 --> 00:24:24,862
There was that inexplicable
392
00:24:24,862 --> 00:24:29,462
scene of following Sister
Monica Joan across the moorside
393
00:24:29,462 --> 00:24:32,742
and then having
her see a white stag.
394
00:24:32,742 --> 00:24:36,982
It's part of the magic of the way
Heidi writes.
395
00:24:36,982 --> 00:24:40,502
I think that she does write
imaginatively.
396
00:24:40,502 --> 00:24:44,062
You can't help but be
touched by something like that.
397
00:24:57,062 --> 00:24:59,182
SHE GASPS
398
00:25:10,302 --> 00:25:11,822
Oh!
399
00:25:32,462 --> 00:25:34,662
I knew Him at once...
400
00:25:35,822 --> 00:25:39,822
..from the love in his glance.
401
00:25:41,582 --> 00:25:44,022
He came...
402
00:25:44,022 --> 00:25:47,622
He looked...
403
00:25:47,622 --> 00:25:49,582
..and He departed.
404
00:25:52,182 --> 00:25:56,462
In that case,
we will accept His blessing
405
00:25:56,462 --> 00:25:59,582
and go to seek Him in another place.
406
00:26:05,022 --> 00:26:07,942
Love has been a key element
in Call The Midwife.
407
00:26:09,062 --> 00:26:11,742
The turmoil, excitement and quiet
comfort
408
00:26:11,742 --> 00:26:14,662
of relationships have all
played out here.
409
00:26:15,702 --> 00:26:20,222
Falling in love with
Dr Turner in series two
410
00:26:20,222 --> 00:26:24,462
and, you know, that dilemma,
leaving the order.
411
00:26:24,462 --> 00:26:27,262
I'll never forget being told
412
00:26:27,262 --> 00:26:29,262
what was planned in that series,
413
00:26:29,262 --> 00:26:34,222
because it just felt like such
a gift of a story line and
414
00:26:34,222 --> 00:26:37,662
suddenly the job was even more
415
00:26:37,662 --> 00:26:40,062
greater than I thought
it was going to be.
416
00:26:40,062 --> 00:26:42,862
So all of that series
and those moments
417
00:26:42,862 --> 00:26:45,182
I'm really fond of, looking back.
418
00:26:45,182 --> 00:26:46,502
Dad!
419
00:26:46,502 --> 00:26:50,102
There's a woman in the wrong clothes
and I think it's her!
420
00:27:15,502 --> 00:27:18,582
What if it had started raining?
421
00:27:18,582 --> 00:27:20,382
What if you'd got lost?
422
00:27:20,382 --> 00:27:21,622
I was lost.
423
00:27:21,622 --> 00:27:23,862
I got the wrong bus.
424
00:27:31,062 --> 00:27:33,902
I was on the right road.
Yes.
425
00:27:36,942 --> 00:27:39,942
I know you so little,
but I couldn't be more certain.
426
00:27:41,462 --> 00:27:43,422
I am completely certain.
427
00:27:45,222 --> 00:27:47,182
I don't even know your name.
428
00:27:47,182 --> 00:27:48,942
Shelagh.
429
00:27:48,942 --> 00:27:50,102
Patrick.
430
00:27:52,022 --> 00:27:54,342
There.
431
00:27:54,342 --> 00:27:55,862
We've made a start.
432
00:28:00,702 --> 00:28:03,062
I can't, Jimmy!
433
00:28:12,182 --> 00:28:16,502
I believe in the films, they say,
"Your place or mine?"
434
00:28:18,022 --> 00:28:19,942
I'd live in a ditch
if it was with you.
435
00:28:19,942 --> 00:28:21,942
Will you just let me love you
436
00:28:21,942 --> 00:28:24,262
and accept this blade of grass?
437
00:28:25,262 --> 00:28:27,342
Yes, I will.
438
00:28:27,342 --> 00:28:30,342
Barbara Gilbert, will you marry me?
439
00:28:31,382 --> 00:28:32,702
Oh!
440
00:28:37,502 --> 00:28:39,782
If I may quote a poem.
441
00:28:39,782 --> 00:28:43,662
"For love of you, the air, it hurts,
442
00:28:43,662 --> 00:28:47,582
"and my heart, and my hat,
they hurt me.
443
00:28:49,182 --> 00:28:53,782
"Who would buy it from me,
this ribbon I am holding,
444
00:28:53,782 --> 00:28:59,142
"and this sadness of cotton, white,
for making handkerchiefs with?
445
00:29:00,262 --> 00:29:05,382
"Ay, the pain it costs me
to love you as I love you."
446
00:29:07,022 --> 00:29:10,062
Not my words
but those of Garcia Lorca.
447
00:29:11,182 --> 00:29:15,662
I'm not one for Spanish poetry,
give me Tennyson any day,
448
00:29:15,662 --> 00:29:19,582
but... I find his words move me.
449
00:29:19,582 --> 00:29:21,782
And if I may...
450
00:29:23,022 --> 00:29:28,182
..the pain it costs, to love...
451
00:29:28,182 --> 00:29:31,182
I believe it is always worth it.
452
00:29:32,342 --> 00:29:34,302
And wherever I go next...
453
00:29:35,782 --> 00:29:37,342
..you're coming with me.
454
00:29:39,382 --> 00:29:41,542
I love you, Nurse Anderson.
455
00:29:45,062 --> 00:29:47,782
Over ten years of powerful drama...
456
00:29:47,782 --> 00:29:49,022
Hello, bambino.
457
00:29:49,022 --> 00:29:52,862
..particular scenes touch us
in a special way.
458
00:29:52,862 --> 00:29:54,862
I'm your dad.
459
00:29:54,862 --> 00:29:57,662
I thought it was a wonderful scene
when the nuns
460
00:29:57,662 --> 00:30:02,382
went through the trunk load of
dresses that they had had for their
461
00:30:02,382 --> 00:30:05,302
marriage to Christ,
462
00:30:05,302 --> 00:30:09,302
and gave a revelation as to who
they were and what they'd felt
463
00:30:09,302 --> 00:30:10,782
and their commitment.
464
00:30:10,782 --> 00:30:11,982
..Until I had blisters.
465
00:30:11,982 --> 00:30:14,022
And this one's mine.
466
00:30:14,022 --> 00:30:15,902
It was almost thrown out
467
00:30:15,902 --> 00:30:18,582
because there was silver
embroidery on the sleeves.
468
00:30:18,582 --> 00:30:21,782
In the end, I had to unpick
every stitch.
469
00:30:21,782 --> 00:30:23,462
I felt rather sorry for the bride
470
00:30:23,462 --> 00:30:24,982
that donated it.
SHE GIGGLES
471
00:30:24,982 --> 00:30:28,822
I was quite sad when I was told
I'd be making my vows in my habit.
472
00:30:28,822 --> 00:30:32,262
I hadn't realised the order had
given up the custom until then.
473
00:30:32,262 --> 00:30:36,862
Sister, the expression on your face
was worth a thousand frills
474
00:30:36,862 --> 00:30:38,302
and folderols.
475
00:30:39,302 --> 00:30:43,622
I don't mind telling you, I felt
like an absolute sideshow in my big
476
00:30:43,622 --> 00:30:45,022
white frock.
477
00:30:45,022 --> 00:30:47,182
I'm sure you looked lovely.
478
00:30:47,182 --> 00:30:49,862
It was just a load of nonsense!
479
00:30:49,862 --> 00:30:53,382
I'd never had any dreams
of a wedding day.
480
00:30:53,382 --> 00:30:57,142
When Sister Evangelina died and
the coffin is at the entrance
481
00:30:57,142 --> 00:31:02,462
to Nonnatus House and Sister Monica
Joan brings out her shoes
482
00:31:02,462 --> 00:31:06,462
and puts them on the coffin lid,
I thought
483
00:31:06,462 --> 00:31:11,062
that was the most brilliant
thought on Heidi's part,
484
00:31:11,062 --> 00:31:16,062
because it was so emotive.
It sums up the character.
485
00:31:30,502 --> 00:31:32,862
HORSE SHOES CLATTER
486
00:31:43,982 --> 00:31:49,462
I think my favourite story was
the one where we rescued
487
00:31:49,462 --> 00:31:52,982
a young mother from an abusive
husband.
488
00:31:52,982 --> 00:31:54,422
Her mother was also a bully,
489
00:31:54,422 --> 00:31:56,422
so she was having a very bad time.
490
00:31:56,422 --> 00:31:58,942
She had a little son as well
as the baby.
491
00:31:58,942 --> 00:32:03,742
Mickey... Mickey, run and bang on
the door. Bang on it.
492
00:32:05,182 --> 00:32:07,302
Help! Help!
493
00:32:07,302 --> 00:32:09,782
SHE SOBS
Come inside.
494
00:32:09,782 --> 00:32:11,262
Come inside, where we can help you.
495
00:32:11,262 --> 00:32:13,382
We got her away.
496
00:32:13,382 --> 00:32:16,622
There was a lovely scene at the end
of them getting on the bus, going
497
00:32:16,622 --> 00:32:18,462
off to a better home life
498
00:32:18,462 --> 00:32:20,942
and the little boy holding his
balloon as he went off
499
00:32:20,942 --> 00:32:22,142
and waving bye-bye.
500
00:32:22,142 --> 00:32:24,582
Yes, I liked that story.
Bye! Thank you!
501
00:32:24,582 --> 00:32:25,742
Bye!
502
00:32:35,622 --> 00:32:40,062
One make-up that I really did enjoy
doing was a few series ago now,
503
00:32:40,062 --> 00:32:42,942
but it was on Sister Cynthia.
504
00:32:42,942 --> 00:32:47,022
And she'd unfortunately, in the
story line, been badly beaten up.
505
00:32:50,102 --> 00:32:52,502
We didn't really go overboard
with it,
506
00:32:52,502 --> 00:32:56,542
so it wasn't absolutely
excruciating to look at her,
507
00:32:56,542 --> 00:33:01,062
but it was enough to make her look
really vulnerable and frail.
508
00:33:05,702 --> 00:33:12,062
It's very important that we create
just the right support.
509
00:33:12,062 --> 00:33:15,262
I think it can really help an actor.
510
00:33:20,142 --> 00:33:22,782
Sister. What happened?
511
00:33:27,182 --> 00:33:28,902
I wasn't raped.
512
00:33:30,742 --> 00:33:33,342
Before you ask me,
I can say that, I wasn't raped.
513
00:33:33,342 --> 00:33:35,782
You were viciously attacked.
514
00:33:35,782 --> 00:33:37,222
Just now the details don't matter.
515
00:33:37,222 --> 00:33:39,222
I don't want you to come near me,
I just...
516
00:33:40,382 --> 00:33:42,742
..I don't want anybody to
touch me at all.
517
00:33:44,982 --> 00:33:46,502
I'll call Sergeant Noakes.
518
00:33:47,862 --> 00:33:50,382
Bryony was so brilliant
in that part.
519
00:33:51,382 --> 00:33:52,542
Thank you.
520
00:33:54,142 --> 00:33:58,502
There was a little bit of prosthetic
on her eye, but not too much,
521
00:33:58,502 --> 00:34:01,182
but I think it really worked
actually.
522
00:34:07,862 --> 00:34:11,862
There is a time for us
to mortify our flesh.
523
00:34:15,022 --> 00:34:18,462
And a time to cherish it...
524
00:34:18,462 --> 00:34:20,902
..and marvel at its strength.
525
00:34:26,782 --> 00:34:29,582
My entrance,
coming in and the big freeze,
526
00:34:29,582 --> 00:34:33,302
trudging through the fake snow,
meeting Val
527
00:34:33,302 --> 00:34:35,022
and the rest of the cast,
528
00:34:35,022 --> 00:34:37,622
that's probably my favourite moment.
529
00:34:40,582 --> 00:34:42,422
Ah!
530
00:34:50,902 --> 00:34:54,342
BANGING
531
00:34:57,062 --> 00:34:59,942
Come in! Quick, out of the snow!
532
00:34:59,942 --> 00:35:03,182
Do you need to see a midwife?
I am a midwife.
533
00:35:05,142 --> 00:35:08,302
I'm Nurse Anderson.
L-Lucille Anderson.
534
00:35:08,302 --> 00:35:10,502
Ah! Course you are!
535
00:35:10,502 --> 00:35:12,662
And I just fell over.
536
00:35:12,662 --> 00:35:15,982
Oh! I'm sorry we're in the middle
of a power cut.
537
00:35:15,982 --> 00:35:18,942
I'm sorry I'm late.
I've been travelling for two days.
538
00:35:18,942 --> 00:35:20,822
Have you bought a suitcase
or anything?
539
00:35:20,822 --> 00:35:22,742
I bought two but I had to leave
them behind
540
00:35:22,742 --> 00:35:24,742
when we were forced to
evacuate the train.
541
00:35:24,742 --> 00:35:26,222
Oh!
542
00:35:29,102 --> 00:35:30,542
A poetess?!
543
00:35:30,542 --> 00:35:32,622
Oh!
544
00:35:32,622 --> 00:35:35,342
One dabbles, Sergeant Woolf.
545
00:35:35,342 --> 00:35:39,422
I'd had a romantic liaison
with Sergeant Woolf
546
00:35:39,422 --> 00:35:44,022
and I'd allowed myself to get a
bit silly and romantic about it all.
547
00:35:44,022 --> 00:35:48,382
I feel it would be unfair of me
to continue with our relationship.
548
00:35:53,902 --> 00:35:59,262
It ended badly and tragically and I
felt embarrassed and silly about it.
549
00:35:59,262 --> 00:36:01,622
Nurse Crane offered
550
00:36:01,622 --> 00:36:02,982
a hand of friendship
551
00:36:02,982 --> 00:36:07,502
and we had a little scene where
we sat in the allotments.
552
00:36:07,502 --> 00:36:09,662
And it was a very special moment,
553
00:36:09,662 --> 00:36:11,862
because I think it was the first
time Miss Higgins had
554
00:36:11,862 --> 00:36:17,342
actually allowed herself to
let down her defences and realise
555
00:36:17,342 --> 00:36:22,262
there was someone there who was
offering some sort of friendship
556
00:36:22,262 --> 00:36:25,022
and she could really speak openly,
557
00:36:25,022 --> 00:36:27,462
and I found that that was quite
an important moment for me.
558
00:36:29,382 --> 00:36:34,422
I...fear I have made myself look
rather foolish.
559
00:36:34,422 --> 00:36:36,302
Not in the least.
560
00:36:36,302 --> 00:36:39,942
One becomes so starved
of companionship.
561
00:36:43,022 --> 00:36:45,982
I let myself imagine it was
something more than it was.
562
00:36:47,622 --> 00:36:50,342
You've been disappointed in love,
563
00:36:50,342 --> 00:36:53,062
it doesn't mean there wasn't love
there to begin with.
564
00:36:57,942 --> 00:37:00,142
I have many favourite moments
but one that
565
00:37:00,142 --> 00:37:01,582
sticks in my head is when
566
00:37:01,582 --> 00:37:05,462
Cyril picks up Lucille in the
motorbike and the side car.
567
00:37:07,662 --> 00:37:09,342
I just fixed it up.
568
00:37:09,342 --> 00:37:11,342
You're the first person
to ride in it.
569
00:37:12,622 --> 00:37:15,662
And how do I get in?
Just climb in.
570
00:37:15,662 --> 00:37:17,062
There's nothing to it.
571
00:37:21,222 --> 00:37:22,342
Come on, let's go.
572
00:37:26,102 --> 00:37:28,102
It just lit that kind of excitement
573
00:37:28,102 --> 00:37:30,742
about this new relationship
that's forming.
574
00:37:45,622 --> 00:37:48,902
And he hasn't rode this bike again,
so definitely that,
575
00:37:48,902 --> 00:37:51,862
that was a memorable moment for me.
576
00:37:51,862 --> 00:37:55,782
What makes me feel so happy
in fittings is when that
577
00:37:55,782 --> 00:37:57,982
actor actually feels
the characters that
578
00:37:57,982 --> 00:38:00,462
they're playing and you can just
see it in their face.
579
00:38:03,582 --> 00:38:06,182
Beautiful. You know, I know that
I've done my job then.
580
00:38:07,342 --> 00:38:10,702
A favourite outfit would be
Trixie's return.
581
00:38:10,702 --> 00:38:11,822
Taxi!
582
00:38:11,822 --> 00:38:14,702
Everybody watches what
Trixie's wearing.
583
00:38:16,622 --> 00:38:19,422
So there was quite
a lot of pressure
584
00:38:19,422 --> 00:38:21,102
to make sure we had an outfit
585
00:38:21,102 --> 00:38:23,182
that was eye-catching.
586
00:38:23,182 --> 00:38:25,462
Nurse Franklin. Trixie, you look
wonderful!
587
00:38:25,462 --> 00:38:28,742
I dare say you'll be wanting
a decent cup of tea!
588
00:38:28,742 --> 00:38:31,542
Yes! And if it comes with cake,
yes, please!
589
00:38:31,542 --> 00:38:34,062
The good thing with Trixie
is that we do have the, er,
590
00:38:34,062 --> 00:38:36,742
the rich aunt from Portofino, so
we do have a little bit of
591
00:38:36,742 --> 00:38:40,302
artistic licence on giving her
a wardrobe that's slightly more
592
00:38:40,302 --> 00:38:42,262
sophisticated and glamorous than
593
00:38:42,262 --> 00:38:45,222
perhaps would be for a normal
midwife's wage.
594
00:38:45,222 --> 00:38:47,582
APPLAUSE
AUDIENCE: Oh!
595
00:38:51,182 --> 00:38:54,862
Family bonds are especially
important here.
596
00:38:54,862 --> 00:38:58,302
They are the beating
heart of the drama.
597
00:38:58,302 --> 00:39:00,742
People write in all the time
saying how much
598
00:39:00,742 --> 00:39:03,822
they enjoy watching functioning,
growing families.
599
00:39:03,822 --> 00:39:05,702
Are you sad, Dad?
600
00:39:07,422 --> 00:39:09,782
How could I be sad
when I've got you?
601
00:39:19,982 --> 00:39:25,502
There's only t-two things that
I want now...
602
00:39:25,502 --> 00:39:28,382
..a minister of religion...
603
00:39:29,582 --> 00:39:33,342
..and to see you in your
Nonnatus uniform again.
604
00:39:35,302 --> 00:39:36,782
I'm happy.
605
00:39:38,142 --> 00:39:42,502
Well, that's a good thing,
isn't it, to be happy?
606
00:39:42,502 --> 00:39:46,142
Not if my mum's angry.
607
00:39:47,462 --> 00:39:48,982
Why would she be angry?
608
00:39:48,982 --> 00:39:51,582
Because she's not here.
609
00:39:52,862 --> 00:39:54,622
Oh, Reggie!
610
00:39:54,622 --> 00:39:58,982
Your mum would be delighted.
611
00:39:58,982 --> 00:40:02,862
All she ever wanted
was for you to be happy.
612
00:40:04,742 --> 00:40:07,462
And Fred and I are going to make
sure that you are.
613
00:40:10,342 --> 00:40:12,862
Don't worry, Auntie Vi.
614
00:40:17,462 --> 00:40:19,502
I'm not sad, I'm happy.
615
00:40:45,462 --> 00:40:47,942
Put this on.
616
00:40:47,942 --> 00:40:49,222
It's Mater's.
617
00:40:54,942 --> 00:40:56,742
SHE WHEEZES
618
00:41:04,302 --> 00:41:05,702
I love you.
619
00:41:10,182 --> 00:41:11,982
SHE SOBS
620
00:41:15,622 --> 00:41:18,542
The family, to the Turners,
621
00:41:18,542 --> 00:41:20,462
it should feel like home.
622
00:41:20,462 --> 00:41:22,862
HE LAUGHS
623
00:41:22,862 --> 00:41:25,222
I sent you a Dundee
so it would last.
624
00:41:25,222 --> 00:41:26,742
We have Tim,
625
00:41:26,742 --> 00:41:28,102
a widower's son,
626
00:41:28,102 --> 00:41:29,302
and we have Angela,
627
00:41:29,302 --> 00:41:33,782
we have May, we have baby Teddy,
we have a number of rabbits.
628
00:41:33,782 --> 00:41:36,262
Well done, Timothy.
629
00:41:36,262 --> 00:41:39,422
To have a family at the centre of a
drama like this, a family that grows
630
00:41:39,422 --> 00:41:41,662
like other families who watch the
programme...
631
00:41:41,662 --> 00:41:44,622
Oh! You've grown a whole inch!
632
00:41:44,622 --> 00:41:50,022
..that is more true to more people
out there than, say,
633
00:41:50,022 --> 00:41:51,462
a serial killer drama
634
00:41:51,462 --> 00:41:55,742
or, you know, a spy mystery
that you can have a hundred of.
635
00:41:55,742 --> 00:41:58,422
This is more of a real thing.
636
00:41:58,422 --> 00:42:00,542
We just have to check if you're
637
00:42:00,542 --> 00:42:02,502
tall enough to drink beer.
638
00:42:03,742 --> 00:42:05,222
Oh!
THEY GIGGLE
639
00:42:05,222 --> 00:42:06,462
It seems you are.
640
00:42:12,822 --> 00:42:17,902
The Bishop said that BBC Television
want to film a carol service
641
00:42:17,902 --> 00:42:22,662
in an ordinary London church
and broadcast it on Christmas Day.
642
00:42:22,662 --> 00:42:25,902
Filming, Mr Hereward? In a church?
643
00:42:25,902 --> 00:42:30,222
My sentiments exactly.
Is nothing sacred?!
644
00:42:31,582 --> 00:42:35,422
Call The Midwife deals with births,
marriages and deaths.
645
00:42:39,222 --> 00:42:41,702
All major life events that have
traditionally
646
00:42:41,702 --> 00:42:43,022
been mediated by faith.
647
00:42:46,902 --> 00:42:49,742
And grant that this day
we fall into no sin,
648
00:42:49,742 --> 00:42:52,462
neither run into any kind of danger.
649
00:42:52,462 --> 00:42:54,982
That all our doings,
650
00:42:54,982 --> 00:42:59,942
in order by thy governance,
may be righteous in thy sight.
651
00:42:59,942 --> 00:43:02,582
Everyone always says I sound
like I'm from a different time
652
00:43:02,582 --> 00:43:04,382
and so it fits perfectly for this,
653
00:43:04,382 --> 00:43:06,462
so it's nice to have a little sing,
actually.
654
00:43:10,062 --> 00:43:13,022
It's very soothing doing
those psalms.
655
00:43:13,022 --> 00:43:15,582
There's something that comes over
you when you're doing it,
656
00:43:15,582 --> 00:43:16,942
it's a really nice thing
657
00:43:16,942 --> 00:43:19,862
to do with the other nuns
when we get to do those scenes.
658
00:43:35,182 --> 00:43:40,702
I would be a little bit fed up with
you if I was the man upstairs.
659
00:43:40,702 --> 00:43:44,742
The man upstairs
knows my reasoning.
660
00:43:45,742 --> 00:43:49,582
In which case, he also knows
you're scared.
661
00:43:54,382 --> 00:44:00,662
Yea though I walk through
the valley of the shadow...
662
00:44:08,102 --> 00:44:12,222
Yea though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
663
00:44:12,222 --> 00:44:17,382
I will fear no evil,
for thou art with me,
664
00:44:17,382 --> 00:44:21,942
thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me.
665
00:44:21,942 --> 00:44:29,062
♪ I once was lost
666
00:44:29,062 --> 00:44:36,502
♪ But now I'm found
667
00:44:36,502 --> 00:44:40,302
♪ Was blind
668
00:44:40,302 --> 00:44:46,582
♪ But now I see. ♪
669
00:44:48,022 --> 00:44:52,542
We are, none of us, cast adrift
if we have faith.
670
00:44:55,622 --> 00:45:00,062
Our location, Poplar, has developed
through each series.
671
00:45:00,062 --> 00:45:01,342
Morning, Reverend.
672
00:45:01,342 --> 00:45:04,302
Over ten years,
housing and fashions change.
673
00:45:04,302 --> 00:45:06,622
We're all girls together, aren't we?
674
00:45:06,622 --> 00:45:08,582
The abiding element
675
00:45:08,582 --> 00:45:10,622
has been a sense of community.
676
00:45:16,942 --> 00:45:19,782
Smile for Mother Mildred.
677
00:45:19,782 --> 00:45:23,982
All islands are like this.
All islands have a boundary
678
00:45:23,982 --> 00:45:25,942
and you live your life within it,
679
00:45:25,942 --> 00:45:30,302
and you love it or you break out
and make a life elsewhere.
680
00:45:30,302 --> 00:45:34,982
And on every island in the world,
no matter how magnificent,
681
00:45:34,982 --> 00:45:37,582
there are those who cannot leave
and those who cannot stay.
682
00:45:39,302 --> 00:45:41,422
And I was one of those who
could not stay.
683
00:45:43,262 --> 00:45:45,662
We have always helped our neighbours
where we can
684
00:45:45,662 --> 00:45:48,302
and the people in this district
are our neighbours not
685
00:45:48,302 --> 00:45:50,782
objects of charity or pity.
686
00:45:52,542 --> 00:45:55,302
So, why do you think
they chose to come to you?
687
00:45:55,302 --> 00:45:58,902
Because they want to stay in
the community.
688
00:46:00,142 --> 00:46:03,022
They want the midwives who saw them
through their pregnancy
689
00:46:03,022 --> 00:46:05,342
and they want their families
close at hand.
690
00:46:07,102 --> 00:46:09,902
Without the maternity home,
many of our patients would have the
691
00:46:09,902 --> 00:46:16,062
choice between giving birth in damp
overcrowded housing or a bus ride,
692
00:46:16,062 --> 00:46:19,862
while in labour, to a hospital
where their children couldn't visit.
693
00:46:21,782 --> 00:46:24,422
Personally, I don't think that's
any choice at all.
694
00:46:27,102 --> 00:46:30,662
Babies are not statistics
at Nonnatus House.
695
00:46:30,662 --> 00:46:33,862
We know when they are wanted
or unwanted,
696
00:46:33,862 --> 00:46:36,622
whether they are cherished
or deprived.
697
00:46:38,502 --> 00:46:42,622
We see when they're in with a chance
in life or stand no chance at all.
698
00:46:42,622 --> 00:46:46,662
We value every infant
and every mother equally.
699
00:46:48,342 --> 00:46:52,062
We are part of their world and they
are part of ours because that is
700
00:46:52,062 --> 00:46:55,702
what happens when you enter
people's homes.
701
00:46:55,702 --> 00:46:58,062
Beautiful bunch, eh?
702
00:46:58,062 --> 00:47:03,302
The power of the stories
lies in their essential truth.
703
00:47:03,302 --> 00:47:07,382
Joined the Great War and...
and never come home.
704
00:47:08,982 --> 00:47:11,942
And my Sally. Yeah.
705
00:47:11,942 --> 00:47:13,622
Circumstances change
706
00:47:13,622 --> 00:47:17,102
but people are much the same
from one generation to the next.
707
00:47:19,342 --> 00:47:21,182
I'm sorry.
Don't be.
708
00:47:22,582 --> 00:47:26,062
I love them. They loved me.
709
00:47:28,702 --> 00:47:32,702
One of my own personal favourites
is a story
710
00:47:32,702 --> 00:47:35,902
of a couple called the Gelins,
who lived in Poplar,
711
00:47:35,902 --> 00:47:40,062
and Mrs Gelin was dying and there is
one particular scene where
712
00:47:40,062 --> 00:47:44,742
he tells his wife how much he loves
her, how much he misses her
713
00:47:44,742 --> 00:47:49,782
and how much he wishes he had told
her all these things.
714
00:47:49,782 --> 00:47:51,662
And every time I see that scene,
715
00:47:51,662 --> 00:47:56,182
it makes me cry because it
reminds me of my own parents
716
00:47:56,182 --> 00:47:58,142
and how they felt for each other.
717
00:47:58,142 --> 00:48:00,582
SHE BREATHES HEAVILY
718
00:48:01,982 --> 00:48:05,182
If I never said I was
grateful to you...
719
00:48:06,542 --> 00:48:08,382
..I say it now.
720
00:48:09,622 --> 00:48:14,662
If I never said I was proud
of the home that you kept...
721
00:48:15,702 --> 00:48:17,542
..I say it now.
722
00:48:21,382 --> 00:48:25,582
If I didn't tell you that you
were beautiful
723
00:48:25,582 --> 00:48:29,102
when your face grew lined...
724
00:48:29,102 --> 00:48:33,342
when you didn't have a new blouse
from one summer's end to the next,
725
00:48:33,342 --> 00:48:35,822
I say it now.
726
00:48:36,902 --> 00:48:39,302
And if I didn't tell you that
I loved you...
727
00:48:42,222 --> 00:48:43,942
..I say it now.
728
00:48:52,582 --> 00:48:55,502
Missing you,
729
00:48:55,502 --> 00:48:57,382
I will talk about tomorrow.
730
00:49:12,062 --> 00:49:16,302
Even though our stories took place
perhaps 70,
731
00:49:16,302 --> 00:49:18,142
60, 70 years ago,
732
00:49:18,142 --> 00:49:20,222
they're still true today.
733
00:49:28,462 --> 00:49:33,062
Because it's honest and because
it deals with periods of time,
734
00:49:33,062 --> 00:49:35,302
very particular periods of time,
735
00:49:35,302 --> 00:49:39,462
one's able to see the effect
of the changes in society.
736
00:49:39,462 --> 00:49:42,422
THEY SING
737
00:49:51,862 --> 00:49:55,422
My own sense is that people in a way
don't change that much
738
00:49:55,422 --> 00:49:58,982
emotionally, but our lives are run
by what happens around us,
739
00:49:58,982 --> 00:50:00,942
which we felt very much with Covid.
740
00:50:00,942 --> 00:50:05,302
I mean, we've all had to adapt to
a very different way of life
741
00:50:05,302 --> 00:50:09,782
and I think it's a wonderful
opportunity doing this
742
00:50:09,782 --> 00:50:12,782
to address all of those things, all
of those problems, the frailties,
743
00:50:12,782 --> 00:50:16,702
the vulnerability, the humour,
the resilience of people.
744
00:50:16,702 --> 00:50:19,542
This way, Doctor.
He's just round here.
745
00:50:21,742 --> 00:50:24,262
We need an ambulance right away.
746
00:50:24,262 --> 00:50:26,102
And bring something
to keep him warm.
747
00:50:26,102 --> 00:50:28,342
Every year, when I start to plan my
stories,
748
00:50:28,342 --> 00:50:30,062
I go into medical archives.
749
00:50:30,062 --> 00:50:32,502
One of the things
I find very interesting is
750
00:50:32,502 --> 00:50:35,862
when I started writing Call The
Midwife, we would have TB stories,
751
00:50:35,862 --> 00:50:37,862
we would have polio stories.
752
00:50:37,862 --> 00:50:41,422
Now I can't tell polio stories
and I can't tell TB stories,
753
00:50:41,422 --> 00:50:45,302
because they did not exist at that
time, they were being stamped out.
754
00:50:45,302 --> 00:50:46,622
CAMERA WHIRS
Timer's on!
755
00:50:56,022 --> 00:50:57,422
The Christmas special
756
00:50:57,422 --> 00:51:02,702
is, as always with Heidi,
she creates a really
757
00:51:02,702 --> 00:51:05,542
exciting and different story.
758
00:51:05,542 --> 00:51:08,982
And it's also very measured in terms
of bringing in all
759
00:51:08,982 --> 00:51:11,302
of the characters because in a way,
it's an introduction
760
00:51:11,302 --> 00:51:13,862
each year to the series, so that you
761
00:51:13,862 --> 00:51:15,302
remember where everybody is
762
00:51:15,302 --> 00:51:17,662
and what they're about
and what they're doing.
763
00:51:22,462 --> 00:51:25,302
EXCITED SHRIEKING
764
00:51:28,502 --> 00:51:30,262
So we are in the Turners' house
765
00:51:30,262 --> 00:51:33,862
and it's our most contemporary set.
766
00:51:33,862 --> 00:51:36,502
Very '60s,
the kitchen and furniture.
767
00:51:38,622 --> 00:51:41,342
We're celebrating Christmas
here at the moment and the important
768
00:51:41,342 --> 00:51:45,822
thing about Christmas is
the decorations the children do.
769
00:51:45,822 --> 00:51:48,782
Last year they made
Father Christmases,
770
00:51:48,782 --> 00:51:53,102
so they will recognise
things that they did last year,
771
00:51:53,102 --> 00:51:55,542
which I think gives the charm
772
00:51:55,542 --> 00:51:58,302
and the reality
to their Christmas tree.
773
00:52:02,582 --> 00:52:04,302
Happy Christmas, Nurse.
TRIXIE GASPS
774
00:52:04,302 --> 00:52:06,782
Liqueur chocolates! How decadent!
775
00:52:08,622 --> 00:52:10,462
And a urine sample.
776
00:52:11,502 --> 00:52:15,582
Sister Monica Joan has arranged
the figurines in what she calls,
777
00:52:15,582 --> 00:52:18,582
"conversational groupings" .
778
00:52:18,582 --> 00:52:20,502
What, in the name of goodness,
779
00:52:20,502 --> 00:52:24,022
is the Angel Gabriel going to
say to the ass?!
780
00:52:26,622 --> 00:52:30,742
'62 going into '63,
there's something that obviously
781
00:52:30,742 --> 00:52:32,622
presented itself to us
straight away
782
00:52:32,622 --> 00:52:35,382
and that was something
known as the Big Freeze.
783
00:52:35,382 --> 00:52:36,542
Ooh!
784
00:52:36,542 --> 00:52:40,302
Fred! A long time since we've seen
anything like this!
785
00:52:40,302 --> 00:52:43,502
Morning, Nurse Crane,
or should I say, er,
786
00:52:43,502 --> 00:52:45,382
baby, it's cold outside.
787
00:52:45,382 --> 00:52:48,342
It was quite astonishing with
icicles hanging off the roof
788
00:52:48,342 --> 00:52:50,662
and it affected a lot of things,
people's travel,
789
00:52:50,662 --> 00:52:52,622
the milk floats didn't arrive,
790
00:52:52,622 --> 00:52:54,702
people aren't getting heat at home.
791
00:52:54,702 --> 00:52:57,342
That'll teach you to snub
complimentary thermals.
792
00:52:59,262 --> 00:53:02,102
Babies being born again
without electricity -
793
00:53:02,102 --> 00:53:04,382
all the problems that that brings.
794
00:53:20,702 --> 00:53:22,942
Put that in with him.
795
00:53:22,942 --> 00:53:27,902
Don't seem right,
sending a bubby out into the cold.

He's alive! I thought
he was stillborn!
801
00:54:11,422 --> 00:54:14,822
We, as ever, at Christmas,
tell stories which are
802
00:54:14,822 --> 00:54:16,942
quite emotional
and challenging at times,
803
00:54:16,942 --> 00:54:19,422
but resolve in an incredibly
804
00:54:19,422 --> 00:54:21,982
joyful, positive, loving way.
805
00:54:24,702 --> 00:54:28,342
I can't allow that on the premises
until it's passed a fire test.

highly inflammable.

Merry Christmas, everybody!
812
00:55:01,182 --> 00:55:03,702
The first time that we sang with
813
00:55:03,702 --> 00:55:09,142
the choir, and it was at night
and they came into the chapel,
814
00:55:09,142 --> 00:55:11,102
it wasn't their first scene
815
00:55:11,102 --> 00:55:14,302
but it was the first time we'd all
been there and it was sublime.
816
00:55:14,302 --> 00:55:17,542
We sang Hark The Herald Angels Sing
817
00:55:17,542 --> 00:55:22,062
and it was very, very uplifting.

but there are moments too,
of sheer joy and abandon.

We would like to thank all of
834
00:57:17,662 --> 00:57:21,822
the actors and the thousands of crew
members who have helped us
835
00:57:21,822 --> 00:57:24,982
and supported us
over the last ten years.
836
00:57:24,982 --> 00:57:28,982
But most of all, we would like to
thank you, our audience,
837

but hopefully,
we will see you very soon.
838
00:57:31,142 --> 00:57:35,182
Thank you so much for watching over
ten years and if you're new to the
839
00:57:35,182 --> 00:57:38,902
show, you've got loads of episodes
to watch, so get watching!
840
00:57:38,902 --> 00:57:41,822
Thank you for watching
but thank you for supporting us,
841
00:57:41,822 --> 00:57:45,662
because there's no way a show could
do that for ten seasons
842
00:57:45,662 --> 00:57:47,382
without that really loyal fan base.
843
00:57:47,382 --> 00:57:52,262
We love all fans of Call The Midwife
but there's an extra special
844
00:57:52,262 --> 00:57:55,662
thank you to fans who've been
with us from the beginning.
845
00:57:55,662 --> 00:57:58,102
That is why we're still here.
846
00:57:58,102 --> 00:58:00,422
It's very, very special, this show.
847
00:58:00,422 --> 00:58:02,462
It's not like any other job
I've ever done.
848
00:58:02,462 --> 00:58:05,742
We're sincere, we believe
it's something beautiful,
849
00:58:05,742 --> 00:58:07,902
that it's about life
and love and death
850
00:58:07,902 --> 00:58:09,982
and all those important things
851
00:58:09,982 --> 00:58:12,502
and we absolutely mean it.
852
00:58:12,502 --> 00:58:15,542
As long as you still want to
watch us, we will still

try giving you the best we can,
that's all we can say.
