1
00:00:25,532 --> 00:00:29,581
Welcome to the tenth anniversary
celebrations of Call The Midwife,
2
00:00:29,606 --> 00:00:34,195
full of love stories, crime,
comedy, tragedy,
3
00:00:34,196 --> 00:00:38,905
all fired by the ties between
family, friends and community.
4
00:00:38,906 --> 00:00:40,915
With nursing at its core,
Call The Midwife
5
00:00:40,916 --> 00:00:42,915
depends on human interaction
6
00:00:42,916 --> 00:00:45,635
more than most shows.
7
00:00:45,636 --> 00:00:49,355
SHE SOBS
Oh, lass.
8
00:00:49,356 --> 00:00:52,445
Since the series launched in 2012,
9
00:00:52,446 --> 00:00:55,916
millions around the world have taken
our characters to their hearts.
10
00:01:00,816 --> 00:01:03,445
Hello, I'm Jennifer Lee.
11
00:01:03,446 --> 00:01:06,245
We are the Sisters
of St Raymond Nonnatus,
12
00:01:06,246 --> 00:01:09,875
midwives and district nurses,
present at life's commencement
13
00:01:09,876 --> 00:01:11,976
and at its end.
14
00:01:11,977 --> 00:01:14,525
The name's Turner, patient's GP.
15
00:01:14,526 --> 00:01:16,846
Sister Bernadette,
this is Nurse Lee.
16
00:01:16,847 --> 00:01:18,195
Oh, greetings.
17
00:01:18,196 --> 00:01:22,185
I understand you qualified
by a whisker,
18
00:01:22,186 --> 00:01:26,255
Nurse Fortescue-Cholmeley-Browne.
I did pass.
19
00:01:26,256 --> 00:01:27,956
It was a bit of a scrape.
20
00:01:27,957 --> 00:01:30,985
Call The Midwife is a little
bit like a watch.
21
00:01:30,986 --> 00:01:32,245
If you take the back off it,
22
00:01:32,246 --> 00:01:34,946
you see all these tiny individual
wheels and cogs,
23
00:01:34,947 --> 00:01:37,515
and not only does each have
a role of real importance,
24
00:01:37,516 --> 00:01:39,235
but it works in conjunction
25
00:01:39,236 --> 00:01:40,805
with other wheels and cogs.
26
00:01:40,806 --> 00:01:43,565
So every character in the drama has
a particular relationship
27
00:01:43,566 --> 00:01:45,075
with another one.
28
00:01:45,076 --> 00:01:48,885
Nurse Gilbert?
Welcome. I'm Sister julienne.
29
00:01:48,886 --> 00:01:52,485
I'm Patience Mount,
but people call me Patsy.
30
00:01:52,486 --> 00:01:54,356
This is Fred, our handyman.
31
00:01:58,326 --> 00:02:00,195
Phyllis Crane, SRN, SCM.
32
00:02:00,196 --> 00:02:01,635
Hello!
33
00:02:01,636 --> 00:02:04,555
One of the things that makes
the job special,
34
00:02:04,556 --> 00:02:06,195
is that it's an ensemble cast
35
00:02:06,196 --> 00:02:09,926
and they're all wonderful
and it's a joy to act with them.
36
00:02:10,996 --> 00:02:12,076
Nurse calling.
37
00:02:16,556 --> 00:02:20,175
Valerie Dyer, I'm a nurse.
Queen Alexandra's Army Corps.
38
00:02:20,176 --> 00:02:22,126
BELL RINGS, DOOR CLOSES
39
00:02:24,196 --> 00:02:25,685
Oh, hello, Reggie, love.
40
00:02:25,686 --> 00:02:27,196
Hello, Mum.
41
00:02:29,246 --> 00:02:33,215
We're going to go straight ahead and
then turn right into Lisbon Street.
42
00:02:33,216 --> 00:02:34,976
Don't forget your hand signals.
43
00:02:34,977 --> 00:02:37,966
I just stick out my arm, don't I?
44
00:02:37,967 --> 00:02:40,486
- Slow down now, Chum.
- How?
45
00:02:41,926 --> 00:02:43,245
Lean in as you turn.
46
00:02:43,246 --> 00:02:46,485
I don't know how to turn!
I've forgotten how to turn!
47
00:02:46,486 --> 00:02:48,995
THEY SHRIEK
48
00:02:48,996 --> 00:02:52,805
Brake! Brake, Nurse!
BIKE BELLS RING, CRASHING
49
00:02:52,806 --> 00:02:54,996
What happened? They
were going too fast!
50
00:02:59,646 --> 00:03:03,485
I think the success of the show
really is down to the fact that
51
00:03:03,486 --> 00:03:06,485
Heidi Thomas is still
writing for us.
52
00:03:06,486 --> 00:03:09,765
The programme has showcased the life
and work of a midwife
53
00:03:09,766 --> 00:03:13,205
and the essential
humanity of the role.
54
00:03:13,206 --> 00:03:15,405
Absolutely beautiful.
55
00:03:15,406 --> 00:03:19,175
You say that as if you've never
heard it before.
56
00:03:19,176 --> 00:03:21,765
I haven't, for a while.
57
00:03:21,766 --> 00:03:24,846
That's it, Carrie,
put another one behind you.
58
00:03:24,847 --> 00:03:26,966
I think, Call the Midwife has
59
00:03:26,967 --> 00:03:30,966
really brought
midwifery into people's minds.
60
00:03:30,967 --> 00:03:33,045
It's become a sort of household
name in a way that
61
00:03:33,046 --> 00:03:34,976
perhaps it wasn't before.
62
00:03:34,977 --> 00:03:37,555
It's discussed more, it's become
63
00:03:37,556 --> 00:03:41,275
a career possibility for many women
and men.
64
00:03:41,276 --> 00:03:45,196
The word midwife means "with woman".
65
00:03:46,356 --> 00:03:49,895
A woman in that situation needs
somebody by her side,
66
00:03:49,896 --> 00:03:53,125
whatever mistakes or choices
brought her to our door.
67
00:03:53,126 --> 00:03:56,155
That's it. That's it.
Keep it coming.
68
00:03:56,156 --> 00:03:58,205
SHE GROANS
69
00:03:58,206 --> 00:04:00,515
Gravity can do amazing things.
70
00:04:00,516 --> 00:04:04,056
It keeps our feet on the ground
and bring babies down to earth.
71
00:04:06,646 --> 00:04:08,335
You have to remain
72
00:04:08,336 --> 00:04:12,976
calm and measured in your responses
73
00:04:12,977 --> 00:04:14,565
and you have to be
74
00:04:14,566 --> 00:04:16,566
kind and empathetic.
75
00:04:19,046 --> 00:04:23,846
BABY CRIES
You're unbelievably brave
76
00:04:23,847 --> 00:04:25,727
and I wish we all had your courage.
77
00:04:34,366 --> 00:04:35,575
Thank you.
78
00:04:35,576 --> 00:04:39,885
I thought I deserved all
manner of medals. Up all night,
79
00:04:39,886 --> 00:04:41,765
cycling for miles,
80
00:04:41,766 --> 00:04:44,885
a wall of wimples at every
single mealtime.
81
00:04:44,886 --> 00:04:47,976
Ain't you ever heard of a mother's
instincts before?!
82
00:04:47,977 --> 00:04:50,625
I need him to come!
83
00:04:50,626 --> 00:04:54,795
Blondes have more fun, they do.
84
00:04:54,796 --> 00:04:56,796
Ain't that right, Nurse?
85
00:04:59,646 --> 00:05:00,936
Absolutely.
86
00:05:02,806 --> 00:05:05,925
I didn't expect glamour
when I came into nursing,
87
00:05:05,926 --> 00:05:08,565
but I had hoped for something more
than a nice hymn,
88
00:05:08,566 --> 00:05:11,695
discussing square dancing
and drinking Horlicks.
89
00:05:11,696 --> 00:05:14,525
We are midwives.
90
00:05:14,526 --> 00:05:18,856
And we're also nurses
and we're your friends.
91
00:05:18,857 --> 00:05:23,925
While we're looking after you, we'll
be whichever of those you need most.
92
00:05:23,926 --> 00:05:25,606
SHE SOBS
93
00:05:25,607 --> 00:05:28,205
SHE LAUGHS
Ah!
94
00:05:28,206 --> 00:05:34,376
You mark my words,
the joy of midwifery never dims.
95
00:05:36,696 --> 00:05:39,815
With music you can somehow
express things that
96
00:05:39,816 --> 00:05:41,956
go beyond what you can say
with words.
97
00:05:41,957 --> 00:05:46,225
We're here in Abbey Road Studios,
where we have just recorded an
98
00:05:46,226 --> 00:05:47,806
episode of season ten.
99
00:05:53,866 --> 00:05:57,985
The most important instrument in the
palette of sounds is actually
100
00:05:57,986 --> 00:06:01,875
the, the dialogue,
the script of Heidi Thomas
101
00:06:01,876 --> 00:06:06,555
and the music is written in
counterpoint with the, with the story.
102
00:06:06,556 --> 00:06:12,675
What happens in the story resonates
in the, in the music
103
00:06:12,676 --> 00:06:15,726
and creates an avid language.
104
00:06:15,727 --> 00:06:19,126
It is just a universal
human language.
105
00:06:29,326 --> 00:06:32,776
Some of the scenes I like to score
the most are the birth scenes.
106
00:06:35,136 --> 00:06:37,945
It's the mystery of
the creation of life,
107
00:06:37,946 --> 00:06:41,576
and the music can go beyond
what we see in the visuals.
108
00:06:59,376 --> 00:07:03,955
A receiver for the placenta, please,
Pupil Midwife Corrigan.
109
00:07:03,956 --> 00:07:05,576
Yes, Mrs Turner.
110
00:07:24,096 --> 00:07:26,775
Playing the part of a
competent midwife
111
00:07:26,776 --> 00:07:28,736
is not the same as being one.
112
00:07:28,737 --> 00:07:32,945
Confronted by the reality,
could any of us really handle it?
113
00:07:32,946 --> 00:07:35,225
I could deliver a baby.
114
00:07:35,226 --> 00:07:38,885
Absolutely not! I think
I'd probably run the other way!
115
00:07:38,886 --> 00:07:40,095
SHE LAUGHS
116
00:07:40,096 --> 00:07:43,135
Because it's not like it is
on TV in real life.
117
00:07:43,136 --> 00:07:46,025
If I see someone who is quite
largely pregnant
118
00:07:46,026 --> 00:07:48,135
and likely to have a baby any time,
119
00:07:48,136 --> 00:07:51,175
I move very far away,
so that I am not spotted
120
00:07:51,176 --> 00:07:53,095
because the idea of being asked
121
00:07:53,096 --> 00:07:54,935
whether I could do anything...
SHE LAUGHS
122
00:07:54,936 --> 00:07:56,606
Yeah, I, I'd sort of think,
123
00:07:56,607 --> 00:07:59,495
oh, I'd know what maybe
some of the stages were.
124
00:07:59,496 --> 00:08:04,215
Erm, not really. No, I think,
I think I'd rather,
125
00:08:04,216 --> 00:08:06,325
erm, leave it to the experts.
126
00:08:06,326 --> 00:08:09,225
In terms of my favourite birth,
gosh, there have been so many.
127
00:08:09,226 --> 00:08:11,895
I'd like to know how many
I've done on the show.
128
00:08:11,896 --> 00:08:14,935
There's been some really
incredible ones and I think,
129
00:08:14,936 --> 00:08:18,146
each time it's an emotional
bubble that bursts.
130
00:08:19,607 --> 00:08:22,816
Even though it's acting,
it somehow feels real.
131
00:08:25,936 --> 00:08:27,376
She says, I love you.
132
00:08:28,936 --> 00:08:31,146
And your father loves you.
133
00:08:32,096 --> 00:08:35,455
And if you never hear his voice,
134
00:08:35,456 --> 00:08:38,026
or if I never hear yours...
135
00:08:40,336 --> 00:08:43,515
...just know that we love you...
136
00:08:43,516 --> 00:08:45,476
"from the bottom of our hearts.
137
00:08:56,956 --> 00:09:01,915
I never stop being moved every time
I see a baby born.
138
00:09:01,916 --> 00:09:05,555
It doesn't matter how many times.
139
00:09:05,556 --> 00:09:09,515
And I think that's what the audience
love too, it's fresh life.
140
00:09:09,516 --> 00:09:11,515
And if you're suggesting that
a few deep breaths
141
00:09:11,516 --> 00:09:14,846
and not thinking about what's for
dinner is all there is to labour,
142
00:09:14,847 --> 00:09:17,666
you are leading your patients
up the fairy way.
143
00:09:21,456 --> 00:09:24,747
SHE EXHALES, MOANS
That's it.
144
00:09:26,816 --> 00:09:30,016
SHE GASPS, BABY CRIES
145
00:09:31,406 --> 00:09:33,306
Congratulations!
146
00:09:38,296 --> 00:09:39,885
One baby.
147
00:09:39,886 --> 00:09:42,455
Babies come along when
they feel inclined.
148
00:09:42,456 --> 00:09:44,976
We can only prepare,
we can never predict!
149
00:09:46,376 --> 00:09:48,597
SHIP'S HORN BLARES
150
00:09:53,236 --> 00:09:55,736
Oh, Lord, if I've ever given you
151
00:09:55,737 --> 00:09:59,125
the impression that I don't
believe in you,
152
00:09:59,126 --> 00:10:01,296
I absolutely promise that I do now.
153
00:10:07,166 --> 00:10:09,226
Oh! I did it!
154
00:10:12,316 --> 00:10:15,586
It's a little boy, Noelle.
Oh, he's beautiful!
155
00:10:15,587 --> 00:10:17,395
But that dress is ruined.
156
00:10:17,396 --> 00:10:20,395
That dress just had
the best day of its life.
157
00:10:20,396 --> 00:10:23,206
I want to be glad but
I don't know how.
158
00:10:25,166 --> 00:10:27,945
Let him hold your finger.
159
00:10:27,946 --> 00:10:30,046
Let him know you're here.
160
00:10:33,976 --> 00:10:35,256
You have a son.
161
00:10:41,676 --> 00:10:42,696
Hello.
162
00:10:47,747 --> 00:10:51,487
Call The Midwife has not shied
away from difficult subjects.
163
00:10:53,826 --> 00:10:55,136
What is it?
164
00:10:56,656 --> 00:10:59,775
Baby's had some complications, Ruby.
165
00:10:59,776 --> 00:11:01,025
Spina bifida...
166
00:11:01,026 --> 00:11:02,895
It's a problem with his back.
167
00:11:02,896 --> 00:11:03,975
...tuberculosis...
168
00:11:03,976 --> 00:11:05,265
Yes.
169
00:11:05,266 --> 00:11:07,705
The lesions are small.
170
00:11:07,706 --> 00:11:09,975
...female genital mutilation...
171
00:11:09,976 --> 00:11:11,415
But there is more than one.
172
00:11:11,416 --> 00:11:14,085
There's nothing there but a scar
from front to back.
173
00:11:14,086 --> 00:11:15,285
- Are you sure?
- ..abortion...
174
00:11:15,286 --> 00:11:18,115
This is England and we do not give
out abortions to any woman
175
00:11:18,116 --> 00:11:20,005
who demands one.
176
00:11:20,006 --> 00:11:21,166
...racism.
177
00:11:23,366 --> 00:11:26,885
One as necessary,
just as you've been taking them.
178
00:11:26,886 --> 00:11:30,035
I tell you what, every woman
in the family way is going to be
179
00:11:30,036 --> 00:11:31,635
banging your doors down for these.
180
00:11:31,636 --> 00:11:33,325
What's that magic stuff
in them again?
181
00:11:33,326 --> 00:11:36,085
The tablets are known as Distaval
182
00:11:36,086 --> 00:11:39,085
and the magic ingredient is
called thalidomide.
183
00:11:39,086 --> 00:11:42,726
Well, better get some more in.
I'm going to spread the word!
184
00:11:42,727 --> 00:11:44,765
Shall we?
185
00:11:44,766 --> 00:11:49,005
I think one of my favourite moments
186
00:11:49,006 --> 00:11:52,726
has to be series five
and thalidomide,
187
00:11:52,727 --> 00:11:56,915
and the reason being that, I was old
enough to remember these kids
188
00:11:56,916 --> 00:11:59,365
playing in the street, they were
a bit older than I was.
189
00:11:59,366 --> 00:12:02,487
Catch your breath for now.
SHE MOANS
190
00:12:12,006 --> 00:12:14,497
What is it, a boy or a girl?
191
00:12:19,846 --> 00:12:23,476
It also affected the
character personally.
192
00:12:23,477 --> 00:12:25,746
It's a daughter.
193
00:12:25,747 --> 00:12:28,805
It involved fantastic
special effects
194
00:12:28,806 --> 00:12:34,035
and enormous commitment to accuracy
and authenticity in the script.
195
00:12:34,036 --> 00:12:37,276
BABY CRIES
196
00:12:39,996 --> 00:12:42,546
Bring her over,
I want to look at her.
197
00:12:53,497 --> 00:12:54,965
My favourite
198
00:12:54,966 --> 00:12:59,445
Call The Midwife scene is probably
the scene in that episode.
199
00:12:59,446 --> 00:13:03,465
An ordinary mum has the baby
in her arms and she uncovers
200
00:13:03,466 --> 00:13:06,766
for the first time that this,
this child is four—limb deficient.
201
00:13:08,727 --> 00:13:10,376
BREATH QUIVERS
202
00:13:11,886 --> 00:13:13,276
Oh, love.
203
00:13:16,186 --> 00:13:18,607
What a mess.
204
00:13:22,406 --> 00:13:24,607
What a mess, eh?
205
00:13:30,136 --> 00:13:33,606
We'll sort something out.
206
00:13:33,607 --> 00:13:35,656
I promise.
207
00:13:37,296 --> 00:13:38,966
Cos you're mine.
208
00:13:39,966 --> 00:13:41,206
Mine.
209
00:13:42,246 --> 00:13:44,466
And I'm not bailing out on you.
210
00:13:53,526 --> 00:13:56,685
But me and Laura worked a lot
211
00:13:56,686 --> 00:14:00,915
with the wonderful animatronic model
which we called Baby Susan,
212
00:14:00,916 --> 00:14:03,045
that's her character's name.
213
00:14:03,046 --> 00:14:06,925
She can hold a rattle in them,
Dr Turner, and a spoon!
214
00:14:06,926 --> 00:14:09,445
She can't get it in her mouth yet,
but...
215
00:14:09,446 --> 00:14:12,305
Most children can't feed themselves
until they're a wee bit older.
216
00:14:12,306 --> 00:14:14,195
One of the most important
prosthetics
217
00:14:14,196 --> 00:14:16,275
we had made was for baby Susan
218
00:14:16,276 --> 00:14:21,095
and we had loads of research
material from Heidi
219
00:14:21,096 --> 00:14:25,396
and we worked with really brilliant
prosthetic technicians.
220
00:14:27,686 --> 00:14:31,325
We were also talking to grown-up
thalidomiders,
221
00:14:31,326 --> 00:14:34,165
who hadn't seen themselves
as babies,
222
00:14:34,166 --> 00:14:37,476
so it was really moving for them.
223
00:14:37,477 --> 00:14:40,295
That's it, lift it off there, go on.
224
00:14:40,296 --> 00:14:43,045
Look at that! Yay!
Susan, that's for you!
225
00:14:43,046 --> 00:14:45,565
And at that time,
observing those things
226
00:14:45,566 --> 00:14:47,925
and being proud to play a part
in that
227
00:14:47,926 --> 00:14:51,436
is possibly my proudest
moment on Call The Midwife.
228
00:14:52,446 --> 00:14:56,535
Come along, Sally. You can
bring your mother with you.
229
00:14:56,536 --> 00:15:00,135
My favourite story was
incredibly moving.
230
00:15:00,136 --> 00:15:02,075
It was me and Cynthia, Chummy
231
00:15:02,076 --> 00:15:05,366
and Cynthia, that did the birth
for that scene and that was...
232
00:15:05,367 --> 00:15:07,135
...incredibly tough to do
233
00:15:07,136 --> 00:15:11,915
acting-wise and just sort of being
in the moment of that story.
234
00:15:11,916 --> 00:15:16,405
That's an example of a Heidi Thomas
genius script.
235
00:15:16,406 --> 00:15:18,256
I thought it was amazing,
incredibly moving.
236
00:15:36,006 --> 00:15:37,816
I haven't heard it cry yet.
237
00:15:41,306 --> 00:15:43,186
Is it hurt?
238
00:15:44,487 --> 00:15:46,776
Baby's just very, very little,
Sally.
239
00:15:56,226 --> 00:15:58,766
SALLY MOANS
It's just the placenta, Sally.
240
00:16:06,046 --> 00:16:07,617
Can I go home now?
241
00:16:09,106 --> 00:16:11,965
We do deal with the harsher
realities of being
242
00:16:11,966 --> 00:16:15,085
a young black woman in white
British society at that time.
243
00:16:15,086 --> 00:16:17,125
The midwife's here.
244
00:16:17,126 --> 00:16:20,285
Nurse Anderson,
this is Marjory Chivvers.
245
00:16:20,286 --> 00:16:21,445
Hello, Mrs Chivvers.
246
00:16:21,446 --> 00:16:23,166
Textbook pregnancy this time too.
247
00:16:24,497 --> 00:16:27,055
Known Marjory since school.
248
00:16:27,056 --> 00:16:30,645
Biggest complication is likely to be
the mother — bit of a character.
249
00:16:30,646 --> 00:16:33,855
I meet the mother of the expectant
mother, called Mae Stanton,
250
00:16:33,856 --> 00:16:36,255
who's probably not
so pleased to see me.
251
00:16:36,256 --> 00:16:37,335
I need to examine you.
252
00:16:37,336 --> 00:16:39,045
Who died and made her the boss?
253
00:16:39,046 --> 00:16:41,205
Look, if you're going to be
funny you can clear off!
254
00:16:41,206 --> 00:16:42,975
Can't no-one take a joke these days?
255
00:16:42,976 --> 00:16:44,685
Right, Mae, why don't you
get back down...
256
00:16:44,686 --> 00:16:46,255
She doesn't want a foreign
257
00:16:46,256 --> 00:16:49,155
midwife to, you know,
look after her daughter.
258
00:16:49,156 --> 00:16:50,886
Hello, girls!
259
00:16:52,416 --> 00:16:55,515
And how's little... Hands off!
260
00:16:55,516 --> 00:16:57,056
Mrs Stanton!
261
00:17:00,436 --> 00:17:04,255
Come on, girls. Come with me.
262
00:17:04,256 --> 00:17:07,165
I don't want you lot anywhere near
my family!
263
00:17:07,166 --> 00:17:09,846
And especially not her!
264
00:17:11,566 --> 00:17:13,086
Come on, girls.
265
00:17:20,686 --> 00:17:23,845
I did an episode about FGM.
266
00:17:23,846 --> 00:17:27,055
And people couldn't believe
that it was,
267
00:17:27,056 --> 00:17:28,645
sort of, went as far back as that,
268
00:17:28,646 --> 00:17:31,735
that people were addressing it that
far back, but they were and
269
00:17:31,736 --> 00:17:35,125
that was sort of when we were first
starting to see it in this country.
270
00:17:35,126 --> 00:17:39,565
My name is not Mrs Farah.
271
00:17:39,566 --> 00:17:42,445
In my country, a woman does not take
her husband's name.
272
00:17:42,446 --> 00:17:47,435
She is her own person,
called after her own family line.
273
00:17:47,436 --> 00:17:51,006
My name is Nadifa Ghedi Jama!
274
00:17:52,136 --> 00:17:54,935
And no man would dare cut me
or my sisters.
275
00:17:54,936 --> 00:17:58,655
The person who holds a knife
is a woman.
276
00:17:58,656 --> 00:18:02,335
The person who calls Deka back to
be cut is a woman.
277
00:18:02,336 --> 00:18:05,335
Her own mother who loves her!
278
00:18:05,336 --> 00:18:09,405
Who wants her to be respected, to be
clean and to find a good husband!
279
00:18:09,406 --> 00:18:10,986
And to be those things...
280
00:18:13,856 --> 00:18:15,726
...she must be cut.
281
00:18:17,776 --> 00:18:19,445
She will not be scared.
282
00:18:19,446 --> 00:18:21,056
She is braver than me.
283
00:18:34,806 --> 00:18:37,605
Call The Midwife does address some
of the issues
284
00:18:37,606 --> 00:18:39,335
that we have today, I think.
285
00:18:39,336 --> 00:18:43,455
There's a real focus about abortion
and people's opinions on that.
286
00:18:43,456 --> 00:18:48,376
Obviously it was still illegal at
the time, so people were going to
287
00:18:48,377 --> 00:18:52,145
desperate measures to
reach their end goals.
288
00:18:52,146 --> 00:18:55,616
Gran... Gran, has someone been
doing an abortion?
289
00:18:56,886 --> 00:18:58,086
Yes.
290
00:18:59,416 --> 00:19:00,776
Me.
291
00:19:08,696 --> 00:19:11,225
You know it goes on all over.
292
00:19:11,226 --> 00:19:13,805
Just like everybody else does.
293
00:19:13,806 --> 00:19:15,496
She ain't never had this
happen before.
294
00:19:15,497 --> 00:19:17,785
Not once! You wanted towels.
295
00:19:17,786 --> 00:19:21,005
Don't you bring those filthy
articles anywhere near my patient!
296
00:19:21,006 --> 00:19:23,705
Throw them on the floor, please,
so I don't slip in this mess!
297
00:19:23,706 --> 00:19:25,855
Thank you.
298
00:19:25,856 --> 00:19:28,525
Can you put some gloves on,
Nurse Dyer, in case I need you
299
00:19:28,526 --> 00:19:30,085
to prepare some ergometrine?
300
00:19:30,086 --> 00:19:31,965
Sweetheart,
can you tell me your name?
301
00:19:31,966 --> 00:19:33,815
It's Teresa.
SHE GROANS
302
00:19:33,816 --> 00:19:37,055
I'm just going to take a little
look down below, Teresa.
303
00:19:37,056 --> 00:19:39,815
I send them home to bed, usually.
304
00:19:39,816 --> 00:19:41,295
They lose it at night
or the next day.
305
00:19:41,296 --> 00:19:42,886
Move your knees apart for me.
306
00:19:47,976 --> 00:19:50,525
I've never seen anything like this.
Good girl.
307
00:19:50,526 --> 00:19:52,855
We're going to sort this out.
308
00:19:52,856 --> 00:19:56,486
I reckon there was already
something wrong with her.
309
00:19:56,487 --> 00:19:59,496
It's the haemorrhage she's
having now that concerns me.
310
00:19:59,497 --> 00:20:01,686
- Did you use instruments?
- Yes.
311
00:20:05,526 --> 00:20:07,376
Thank you.
312
00:20:07,377 --> 00:20:10,865
Nurse Dyer. I need sterile pads.
313
00:20:10,866 --> 00:20:14,085
And I need you to call for an
ambulance. I can't do that.
314
00:20:14,086 --> 00:20:17,856
You know I can't.
It's why we sent for her.
315
00:20:19,656 --> 00:20:21,775
You can and you will,
316
00:20:21,776 --> 00:20:24,455
because if either Nurse Dyer or
I have to leave this poor girl's
317
00:20:24,456 --> 00:20:27,295
side to do it, we'll be coming back
here with a police officer.
318
00:20:27,296 --> 00:20:28,785
Won't we?
319
00:20:28,786 --> 00:20:30,795
Yes.
320
00:20:30,796 --> 00:20:33,585
I don't want my mum and dad to know.
321
00:20:33,586 --> 00:20:35,325
I promise, Teresa, right now
322
00:20:35,326 --> 00:20:37,936
nobody in this room is
thinking about anyone but you.
323
00:20:41,886 --> 00:20:43,945
The sets in Call The Midwife
are carefully
324
00:20:43,946 --> 00:20:45,736
built around the stories.
325
00:20:47,306 --> 00:20:49,045
Working with elaborate props,
326
00:20:49,046 --> 00:20:52,656
actors sometimes feel drawn
to the objects around them.
327
00:20:54,576 --> 00:20:57,305
If I were to steal something from
328
00:20:57,306 --> 00:21:00,965
a set on Call The Midwife,
I'm afraid that there are two
329
00:21:00,966 --> 00:21:02,685
main places of focus
and one is my office.
330
00:21:02,686 --> 00:21:07,605
I absolutely love... all
the props in my office.
331
00:21:07,606 --> 00:21:09,266
I'd like to take my uniform home.
332
00:21:09,267 --> 00:21:12,256
I love this building and I would...
333
00:21:12,257 --> 00:21:14,185
Every time I have an idle moment,
334
00:21:14,186 --> 00:21:15,945
I stroll around it and imagine it
335
00:21:15,946 --> 00:21:18,585
as a fabulous house that
I could live in.
336
00:21:18,586 --> 00:21:22,405
And this room that we are in is
actually my en-suite bathroom.
337
00:21:22,406 --> 00:21:24,095
Armchairs. They're not comfy
338
00:21:24,096 --> 00:21:25,815
but they look fantastic.
339
00:21:25,816 --> 00:21:27,945
Yeah, I'd like an armchair.
340
00:21:27,946 --> 00:21:29,145
I'd want to take home that.
341
00:21:29,146 --> 00:21:31,585
Well, I think contractually
it's going to follow me
342
00:21:31,586 --> 00:21:33,095
on every job I do
343
00:21:33,096 --> 00:21:34,965
and I might take it home.
344
00:21:34,966 --> 00:21:37,386
WHISPERS: Don't tell anyone.
345
00:21:37,387 --> 00:21:39,615
There's a few costumes that
I really want to take home.
346
00:21:39,616 --> 00:21:43,535
I've got this beautiful,
bright blue, suede coat, which is
347
00:21:43,536 --> 00:21:46,465
a gorgeous sort of '60s
vibrant colour
348
00:21:46,466 --> 00:21:47,965
and I really want to take it home.
349
00:21:47,966 --> 00:21:53,885
I have been eyeing up the clock
in Dr Turner's surgery.
350
00:21:53,886 --> 00:21:57,096
I really would quite like that
on, on my kitchen wall.
351
00:21:58,336 --> 00:22:00,466
I'd probably take my cross.
352
00:22:01,616 --> 00:22:03,765
And the other thing I'd like to
steal, if I may steal
353
00:22:03,766 --> 00:22:06,615
something else, is a tea set
from the tea table, because so much
354
00:22:06,616 --> 00:22:10,535
of our lives are placed around that
and they're so much of the period.
355
00:22:10,536 --> 00:22:13,405
If there is something I'm allowed to
take home from the set,
356
00:22:13,406 --> 00:22:16,585
it would be an enamel
bucket with a lid.
357
00:22:16,586 --> 00:22:20,405
If Laura Main doesn't bring her
lucky handbag to the set
358
00:22:20,406 --> 00:22:23,815
containing her script,
she freaks out.
359
00:22:23,816 --> 00:22:27,615
So, if there's anything I'd like to
take home, it's the handbag.
360
00:22:27,616 --> 00:22:33,465
I, Georgie, would like the donkey
from the first nativity play.
361
00:22:33,466 --> 00:22:36,575
That was my, I think
it was my very first scene.
362
00:22:36,576 --> 00:22:38,975
There are one or two young men
I wouldn't mind taking home,
363
00:22:38,976 --> 00:22:42,225
but apart from that, no.
364
00:22:42,226 --> 00:22:46,315
In a scene, I may be opening
a letter and when I open it,
365
00:22:46,316 --> 00:22:50,136
someone's taken the trouble to write
the letter to Sister julienne
366
00:22:50,137 --> 00:22:52,386
and it will be about a problem
they're having.
367
00:22:52,387 --> 00:22:54,376
And it's not a letter
that's being seen,
368
00:22:54,377 --> 00:22:57,136
it's not a part of the story, but
that's what the prop department do
369
00:22:57,137 --> 00:22:58,846
and I might steal one of those.
370
00:23:00,976 --> 00:23:04,976
This is the prop store and we hold
thousands of items here.
371
00:23:06,466 --> 00:23:08,745
I've been to South Africa
with this show
372
00:23:08,746 --> 00:23:10,236
and we've been to Scotland.
373
00:23:13,776 --> 00:23:15,585
South Africa probably was
374
00:23:15,586 --> 00:23:19,846
the hardest challenge I had,
because we were in the heat.
375
00:23:21,296 --> 00:23:23,986
So, we were up against
all the elements.
376
00:23:29,056 --> 00:23:32,126
There've been so many wonderful
scenes over the last ten years.
377
00:23:32,127 --> 00:23:34,855
I think one of my favourite ones was
378
00:23:34,856 --> 00:23:38,105
when we were in South Africa
and we were travelling back
379
00:23:38,106 --> 00:23:41,055
on the back of a truck that
380
00:23:41,056 --> 00:23:44,465
Dr Turner was driving.
SHE GIGGLES
381
00:23:44,466 --> 00:23:46,976
Quite badly, I have to say.
382
00:23:49,306 --> 00:23:52,465
But we had this wonderful moment,
myself and the ladies, where we
383
00:23:52,466 --> 00:23:58,465
just sort of watched the sunset and
sang. I think we sang Amazing Grace
384
00:23:58,466 --> 00:24:00,675
and it was just this really
peaceful moment.
385
00:24:00,676 --> 00:24:02,335
I don't think
we were even being filmed,
386
00:24:02,336 --> 00:24:04,256
it was just a wonderful moment.
387
00:24:04,257 --> 00:24:09,415
I had huge resistance in me
to going to the Outer Hebrides,
388
00:24:09,416 --> 00:24:11,315
looking at these
pictures of what seemed
389
00:24:11,316 --> 00:24:14,266
to be a very grey
and difficult place,
390
00:24:14,267 --> 00:24:17,056
and I loved the experience
of being there.
391
00:24:22,306 --> 00:24:24,895
There was that inexplicable
392
00:24:24,896 --> 00:24:29,495
scene of following Sister
Monica Joan across the moorside
393
00:24:29,496 --> 00:24:32,775
and then having
her see a white stag.
394
00:24:32,776 --> 00:24:37,025
It's part of the magic of the way
Heidi writes.
395
00:24:37,026 --> 00:24:40,535
I think that she does write
imaginatively.
396
00:24:40,536 --> 00:24:44,066
You can't help but be
touched by something like that.
397
00:24:57,056 --> 00:24:59,166
SHE GASPS
398
00:25:10,296 --> 00:25:11,836
Oh!
399
00:25:32,446 --> 00:25:34,656
I knew Him at once...
400
00:25:35,836 --> 00:25:39,826
"from the love in his glance.
401
00:25:41,576 --> 00:25:44,035
He came...
402
00:25:44,036 --> 00:25:47,615
He looked...
403
00:25:47,616 --> 00:25:49,576
...and He departed.
404
00:25:52,216 --> 00:25:56,465
In that case,
we will accept His blessing
405
00:25:56,466 --> 00:25:59,576
and go to seek Him in another place.
406
00:26:05,076 --> 00:26:07,946
Love has been a key element
in Call The Midwife.
407
00:26:09,116 --> 00:26:11,785
The turmoil, excitement and quiet
comfort
408
00:26:11,786 --> 00:26:14,656
of relationships have all
played out here.
409
00:26:15,766 --> 00:26:20,276
Falling in love with
Dr Turner in series two
410
00:26:20,277 --> 00:26:24,475
and, you know, that dilemma,
leaving the order.
411
00:26:24,476 --> 00:26:27,276
I'll never forget being told
412
00:26:27,277 --> 00:26:29,295
what was planned in that series,
413
00:26:29,296 --> 00:26:34,215
because it just felt like such
a gift of a story line and
414
00:26:34,216 --> 00:26:37,695
suddenly the job was even more
415
00:26:37,696 --> 00:26:40,115
greater than I thought
it was going to be.
416
00:26:40,116 --> 00:26:42,865
So all of that series
and those moments
417
00:26:42,866 --> 00:26:45,195
I'm really fond of, looking back.
418
00:26:45,196 --> 00:26:46,545
Dad!
419
00:26:46,546 --> 00:26:50,116
There's a woman in the wrong clothes
and I think it's her!
420
00:27:15,516 --> 00:27:18,585
What if it had started raining?
421
00:27:18,586 --> 00:27:20,375
What if you'd got lost?
422
00:27:20,376 --> 00:27:21,625
I was lost.
423
00:27:21,626 --> 00:27:23,856
I got the wrong bus.
424
00:27:31,126 --> 00:27:33,896
- I was on the right road.
- Yes.
425
00:27:36,976 --> 00:27:39,946
I know you so little,
but I couldn't be more certain.
426
00:27:41,476 --> 00:27:43,416
I am completely certain.
427
00:27:45,196 --> 00:27:47,175
I don't even know your name.
428
00:27:47,176 --> 00:27:48,925
Shelagh.
429
00:27:48,926 --> 00:27:50,086
Patrick.
430
00:27:52,007 --> 00:27:54,335
There.
431
00:27:54,336 --> 00:27:55,856
We've made a start.
432
00:28:00,696 --> 00:28:03,046
I can't, Jimmy!
433
00:28:12,226 --> 00:28:16,486
I believe in the films, they say,
"Your place or mine?"
434
00:28:18,046 --> 00:28:19,925
I'd live in a ditch
if it was with you.
435
00:28:19,926 --> 00:28:21,945
Will you just let me love you
436
00:28:21,946 --> 00:28:24,277
and accept this blade of grass?
437
00:28:25,277 --> 00:28:27,345
Yes, I will.
438
00:28:27,346 --> 00:28:30,336
Barbara Gilbert, will you marry me?
439
00:28:31,356 --> 00:28:32,686
Oh!
440
00:28:37,516 --> 00:28:39,785
If I may quote a poem.
441
00:28:39,786 --> 00:28:43,705
"For love of you, the air, it hurts,
442
00:28:43,706 --> 00:28:47,586
"and my heart, and my hat,
they hurt me.
443
00:28:49,226 --> 00:28:53,775
"Who would buy it from me,
this ribbon I am holding,
444
00:28:53,776 --> 00:28:59,107
"and this sadness of cotton, white,
for making handkerchiefs with?
445
00:29:00,266 --> 00:29:05,336
"Ay, the pain it costs me
to love you as I love you."
446
00:29:07,036 --> 00:29:10,036
Not my words
but those of Garcia Lorca.
447
00:29:11,186 --> 00:29:15,625
I'm not one for Spanish poetry,
give me Tennyson any day,
448
00:29:15,626 --> 00:29:19,555
but...| find his words move me.
449
00:29:19,556 --> 00:29:21,756
And if I may...
450
00:29:22,987 --> 00:29:28,169
...the pain it costs, to love...
451
00:29:28,170 --> 00:29:31,190
I believe it is always worth it.
452
00:29:32,360 --> 00:29:34,310
And wherever I go next...
453
00:29:35,800 --> 00:29:37,330
...you're coming with me.
454
00:29:39,360 --> 00:29:41,540
I love you, Nurse Anderson.
455
00:29:45,037 --> 00:29:47,746
Over ten years of powerful drama...
456
00:29:47,747 --> 00:29:49,036
Hello, bambino.
457
00:29:49,037 --> 00:29:52,836
...particular scenes touch us
in a special way.
458
00:29:52,837 --> 00:29:54,877
I'm your dad.
459
00:29:54,878 --> 00:29:57,676
I thought it was a wonderful scene
when the nuns
460
00:29:57,677 --> 00:30:02,346
went through the trunk load of
dresses that they had had for their
461
00:30:02,347 --> 00:30:05,316
marriage to Christ,
462
00:30:05,317 --> 00:30:09,266
and gave a revelation as to who
they were and what they'd felt
463
00:30:09,267 --> 00:30:10,767
and their commitment.
464
00:30:10,768 --> 00:30:11,997
...Until| had blisters.
465
00:30:11,998 --> 00:30:14,038
And this one's mine.
466
00:30:14,039 --> 00:30:15,957
It was almost thrown out
467
00:30:15,958 --> 00:30:18,617
because there was silver
embroidery on the sleeves.
468
00:30:18,618 --> 00:30:21,777
In the end, I had to unpick
every stitch.
469
00:30:21,778 --> 00:30:23,497
I felt rather sorry for the bride
470
00:30:23,498 --> 00:30:25,038
that donated it.
SHE GIGGLES
471
00:30:25,039 --> 00:30:28,887
I was quite sad when I was told
I'd be making my vows in my habit.
472
00:30:28,888 --> 00:30:32,307
I hadn't realised the order had
given up the custom until then.
473
00:30:32,308 --> 00:30:36,877
Sister, the expression on your face
was worth a thousand frills
474
00:30:36,878 --> 00:30:38,318
and folderols.
475
00:30:39,358 --> 00:30:43,647
I don't mind telling you, I felt
like an absolute sideshow in my big
476
00:30:43,648 --> 00:30:45,028
white frock.
477
00:30:45,029 --> 00:30:47,187
I'm sure you looked lovely.
478
00:30:47,188 --> 00:30:49,908
It was just a load of nonsense!
479
00:30:49,909 --> 00:30:53,437
I'd never had any dreams
of a wedding day.
480
00:30:53,438 --> 00:30:57,187
When Sister Evangelina died and
the coffin is at the entrance
481
00:30:57,188 --> 00:31:02,517
to Nonnatus House and Sister Monica
Joan brings out her shoes
482
00:31:02,518 --> 00:31:06,517
and puts them on the coffin lid,
lthought
483
00:31:06,518 --> 00:31:11,117
that was the most brilliant
thought on Heidi's part,
484
00:31:11,118 --> 00:31:16,046
because it was so emotive.
It sums up the character.
485
00:31:30,510 --> 00:31:32,860
HORSE SHOES CLATTER
486
00:31:44,021 --> 00:31:49,499
I think my favourite story was
the one where we rescued
487
00:31:49,500 --> 00:31:52,989
a young mother from an abusive
husband.
488
00:31:52,990 --> 00:31:54,439
Her mother was also a bully,
489
00:31:54,440 --> 00:31:56,479
so she was having a very bad time.
490
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:58,999
She had a little son as well
as the baby.
491
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,750
Mickey... Mickey, run and bang on
the door. Bang on it.
492
00:32:05,146 --> 00:32:07,305
Help! Help!
493
00:32:07,306 --> 00:32:09,755
SHE SOBS
Come inside.
494
00:32:09,756 --> 00:32:11,225
Come inside, where we can help you.
495
00:32:11,226 --> 00:32:13,395
We got her away.
496
00:32:13,396 --> 00:32:16,585
There was a lovely scene at the end
of them getting on the bus, going
497
00:32:16,586 --> 00:32:18,485
off to a better home life
498
00:32:18,486 --> 00:32:20,915
and the little boy holding his
balloon as he went off
499
00:32:20,916 --> 00:32:22,145
and waving bye-bye.
500
00:32:22,146 --> 00:32:24,565
Yes, I liked that story.
Bye! Thank you!
501
00:32:24,566 --> 00:32:25,726
Bye!
502
00:32:35,658 --> 00:32:40,077
One make-up that I really did enjoy
doing was a few series ago now,
503
00:32:40,078 --> 00:32:42,019
but it was on Sister Cynthia.
504
00:32:42,968 --> 00:32:47,019
And she'd unfortunately, in the
story line, been badly beaten up.
505
00:32:50,159 --> 00:32:52,557
We didn't really go overboard
with it,
506
00:32:52,558 --> 00:32:56,607
so it wasn't absolutely
excruciating to look at her,
507
00:32:56,608 --> 00:33:01,044
but it was enough to make her look
really vulnerable and frail.
508
00:33:05,694 --> 00:33:12,065
It's very important that we create
just the right support.
509
00:33:12,066 --> 00:33:15,256
I think it can really help an actor.
510
00:33:20,147 --> 00:33:22,786
Sister. What happened?
511
00:33:27,176 --> 00:33:28,887
I wasn't raped.
512
00:33:30,786 --> 00:33:33,335
Before you ask me,
I can say that, I wasn't raped.
513
00:33:33,336 --> 00:33:35,785
You were viciously attacked.
514
00:33:35,786 --> 00:33:37,255
Just now the details don't matter.
515
00:33:37,256 --> 00:33:39,226
I don't want you to come near me,
I just...
516
00:33:40,416 --> 00:33:42,736
...| don't want anybody to
touch me at all.
517
00:33:44,966 --> 00:33:46,506
I'll call Sergeant Noakes.
518
00:33:47,897 --> 00:33:50,386
Bryony was so brilliant
in that part.
519
00:33:51,386 --> 00:33:52,546
Thank you.
520
00:33:54,176 --> 00:33:58,535
There was a little bit of prosthetic
on her eye, but not too much,
521
00:33:58,536 --> 00:34:01,166
but I think it really worked
actually.
522
00:34:07,897 --> 00:34:11,856
There is a time for us
to mortify our flesh.
523
00:34:15,027 --> 00:34:18,455
And a time to cherish it...
524
00:34:18,456 --> 00:34:20,897
...and marvel at its strength.
525
00:34:26,826 --> 00:34:29,615
My entrance,
coming in and the big freeze,
526
00:34:29,616 --> 00:34:33,295
trudging through the fake snow,
meeting Val
527
00:34:33,296 --> 00:34:35,016
and the rest of the cast,
528
00:34:35,017 --> 00:34:37,616
that's probably my favourite moment.
529
00:34:40,586 --> 00:34:42,406
Ah!
530
00:34:50,897 --> 00:34:54,336
BANGING
531
00:34:57,056 --> 00:34:59,975
Come in! Quick, out of the snow!
532
00:34:59,976 --> 00:35:03,176
Do you need to see a midwife?
I am a midwife.
533
00:35:05,176 --> 00:35:08,295
I'm Nurse Anderson.
L—Lucille Anderson.
534
00:35:08,296 --> 00:35:10,495
Ah! Course you are!
535
00:35:10,496 --> 00:35:12,695
And I just fell over.
536
00:35:12,696 --> 00:35:16,026
Oh! I'm sorry we're in the middle
of a power cut.
537
00:35:16,027 --> 00:35:18,975
I'm sorry I'm late.
I've been travelling for two days.
538
00:35:18,976 --> 00:35:20,865
Have you bought a suitcase
or anything?
539
00:35:20,866 --> 00:35:22,776
I bought two but I had to leave
them behind
540
00:35:22,777 --> 00:35:24,745
when we were forced to
evacuate the train.
541
00:35:24,746 --> 00:35:26,216
Oh!
542
00:35:29,096 --> 00:35:30,535
A poetess?!
543
00:35:30,536 --> 00:35:32,615
Oh!
544
00:35:32,616 --> 00:35:35,385
One dabbles, Sergeant Woolf.
545
00:35:35,386 --> 00:35:39,465
I'd had a romantic liaison
with Sergeant Woolf
546
00:35:39,466 --> 00:35:44,055
and I'd allowed myself to get a
bit silly and romantic about it all.
547
00:35:44,056 --> 00:35:48,386
I feel it would be unfair of me
to continue with our relationship.
548
00:35:53,946 --> 00:35:59,255
It ended badly and tragically and I
felt embarrassed and silly about it.
549
00:35:59,256 --> 00:36:01,625
Nurse Crane offered
550
00:36:01,626 --> 00:36:03,026
a hand of friendship
551
00:36:03,027 --> 00:36:07,495
and we had a little scene where
we sat in the allotments.
552
00:36:07,496 --> 00:36:09,705
And it was a very special moment,
553
00:36:09,706 --> 00:36:11,906
because I think it was the first
time Miss Higgins had
554
00:36:11,907 --> 00:36:17,405
actually allowed herself to
let down her defences and realise
555
00:36:17,406 --> 00:36:22,265
there was someone there who was
offering some sort of friendship
556
00:36:22,266 --> 00:36:25,055
and she could really speak openly,
557
00:36:25,056 --> 00:36:27,486
and I found that that was quite
an important moment for me.
558
00:36:29,436 --> 00:36:34,359
|...fear I have made myself look
rather foolish.
559
00:36:34,360 --> 00:36:36,279
Not in the least.
560
00:36:36,280 --> 00:36:39,950
One becomes so starved
of companionship.
561
00:36:43,060 --> 00:36:45,980
I let myself imagine it was
something more than it was.
562
00:36:47,620 --> 00:36:50,379
You've been disappointed in love,
563
00:36:50,380 --> 00:36:53,060
it doesn't mean there wasn't love
there to begin with.
564
00:36:57,980 --> 00:37:00,139
I have many favourite moments
but one that
565
00:37:00,140 --> 00:37:01,619
sticks in my head is when
566
00:37:01,620 --> 00:37:05,450
Cyril picks up Lucille in the
motorbike and the side car.
567
00:37:07,660 --> 00:37:09,389
I just fixed it up.
568
00:37:09,390 --> 00:37:11,330
You're the first person
to ride in it.
569
00:37:12,660 --> 00:37:15,669
- And how do I get in?
- Just climb in.
570
00:37:15,670 --> 00:37:17,060
There's nothing to it.
571
00:37:21,200 --> 00:37:22,330
Come on, let's go.
572
00:37:26,100 --> 00:37:28,129
It just lit that kind of excitement
573
00:37:28,130 --> 00:37:30,740
about this new relationship
that's forming.
574
00:37:45,660 --> 00:37:48,900
And he hasn't rode this bike again,
so definitely that,
575
00:37:48,901 --> 00:37:51,910
that was a memorable moment for me.
576
00:37:51,911 --> 00:37:55,829
What makes me feel so happy
in fittings is when that
577
00:37:55,830 --> 00:37:58,020
actor actually feels
the characters that
578
00:37:58,021 --> 00:38:00,470
they're playing and you can just
see it in their face.
579
00:38:03,620 --> 00:38:06,180
Beautiful. You know, I know that
I've done my job then.
580
00:38:07,380 --> 00:38:10,709
A favourite outfit would be
Trixie's return.
581
00:38:10,710 --> 00:38:11,859
Taxi!
582
00:38:11,860 --> 00:38:14,690
Everybody watches what
Trixie's wearing.
583
00:38:16,661 --> 00:38:19,419
So there was quite a lot of pressure
584
00:38:19,420 --> 00:38:21,099
to make sure we had an outfit
585
00:38:21,100 --> 00:38:23,219
that was eye-catching.
586
00:38:23,220 --> 00:38:25,499
Nurse Franklin. Trixie, you look
wonderful!
587
00:38:25,500 --> 00:38:28,770
I dare say you'll be wanting
a decent cup of tea!
588
00:38:28,771 --> 00:38:31,579
Yes! And if it comes with cake,
yes, please!
589
00:38:31,580 --> 00:38:34,099
The good thing with Trixie
is that we do have the, er,
590
00:38:34,100 --> 00:38:36,780
the rich aunt from Portofino, so
we do have a little bit of
591
00:38:36,781 --> 00:38:40,289
artistic licence on giving her
a wardrobe that's slightly more
592
00:38:40,290 --> 00:38:42,299
sophisticated and glamorous than
593
00:38:42,300 --> 00:38:45,269
perhaps would be for a normal
midwife's wage.
594
00:38:45,270 --> 00:38:47,570
APPLAUSE
AUDIENCE: Oh!
595
00:38:51,210 --> 00:38:54,900
Family bonds are especially
important here.
596
00:38:54,901 --> 00:38:58,349
They are the beating
heart of the drama.
597
00:38:58,350 --> 00:39:00,780
People write in all the time
saying how much
598
00:39:00,781 --> 00:39:03,819
they enjoy watching functioning,
growing families.
599
00:39:03,820 --> 00:39:05,700
Are you sad, Dad?
600
00:39:07,460 --> 00:39:09,791
How could I be sad
when I've got you?
601
00:39:20,010 --> 00:39:25,499
There's only t-two things that
I want now...
602
00:39:25,500 --> 00:39:28,380
...a minister of religion...
603
00:39:29,620 --> 00:39:33,340
...and to see you in your
Nonnatus uniform again.
604
00:39:35,290 --> 00:39:36,781
I'm HAPPY-
605
00:39:38,180 --> 00:39:42,499
Well, that's a good thing,
isn't it, to be happy?
606
00:39:42,500 --> 00:39:46,140
Not if my mum's angry.
607
00:39:47,470 --> 00:39:48,989
Why would she be angry?
608
00:39:48,990 --> 00:39:51,570
Because she's not here.
609
00:39:54,640 --> 00:39:59,009
Your mum would be delighted.
610
00:39:59,010 --> 00:40:02,860
All she ever wanted
was for you to be happy.
611
00:40:04,781 --> 00:40:07,470
And Fred and I are going to make
sure that you are.
612
00:40:10,350 --> 00:40:12,860
Don't worry, Auntie Vi.
613
00:40:17,470 --> 00:40:19,500
I'm not sad, I'm happy.
614
00:40:45,480 --> 00:40:46,990
Put this on.
615
00:40:47,940 --> 00:40:49,210
It's Mater's.
616
00:40:54,940 --> 00:40:56,730
SHE WHEEZES
617
00:41:04,300 --> 00:41:05,700
I love you.
618
00:41:10,180 --> 00:41:11,990
SHE SOBS
619
00:41:15,630 --> 00:41:18,549
The family, to the Turners,
620
00:41:18,550 --> 00:41:20,449
it should feel like home.
621
00:41:20,450 --> 00:41:22,910
HE LAUGHS
622
00:41:22,911 --> 00:41:25,219
I sent you a Dundee
so it would last.
623
00:41:25,220 --> 00:41:26,739
We have Tim,
624
00:41:26,740 --> 00:41:28,089
a widower's son,
625
00:41:28,090 --> 00:41:29,349
and we have Angela,
626
00:41:29,350 --> 00:41:33,790
we have May, we have baby Teddy,
we have a number of rabbits.
627
00:41:33,791 --> 00:41:36,299
Well done, Timothy.
628
00:41:36,300 --> 00:41:39,459
To have a family at the centre of a
drama like this, a family that grows
629
00:41:39,460 --> 00:41:41,660
like other families who watch the
programme...
630
00:41:41,661 --> 00:41:44,670
Oh! You've grown a whole inch!
631
00:41:44,671 --> 00:41:50,019
...that is more true to more people
out there than, say,
632
00:41:50,020 --> 00:41:51,499
a serial killer drama
633
00:41:51,500 --> 00:41:55,729
or, you know, a spy mystery
that you can have a hundred of.
634
00:41:55,730 --> 00:41:58,429
This is more of a real thing.
635
00:41:58,430 --> 00:42:00,559
We just have to check if you're
636
00:42:00,560 --> 00:42:02,510
tall enough to drink beer.
637
00:42:03,791 --> 00:42:05,219
THEY GIGGLE Oh!
638
00:42:05,220 --> 00:42:06,450
It seems you are.
639
00:42:12,860 --> 00:42:17,939
The Bishop said that BBC Television
want to film a carol service
640
00:42:17,940 --> 00:42:22,650
in an ordinary London church
and broadcast it on Christmas Day.
641
00:42:22,651 --> 00:42:25,939
Filming, Mr Hereward? In a church?
642
00:42:25,940 --> 00:42:30,230
My sentiments exactly.
Is nothing sacred?!
643
00:42:31,640 --> 00:42:35,430
Call The Midwife deals with births,
marriages and deaths.
644
00:42:39,270 --> 00:42:41,709
All major life events that have
traditionally
645
00:42:41,710 --> 00:42:43,030
been mediated by faith.
646
00:42:46,940 --> 00:42:49,749
And grant that this day
we fall into no sin,
647
00:42:49,750 --> 00:42:52,469
neither run into any kind of danger.
648
00:42:52,470 --> 00:42:55,019
That all our doings,
649
00:42:55,020 --> 00:42:59,989
in order by thy governance,
may be righteous in thy sight.
650
00:42:59,990 --> 00:43:02,579
Everyone always says I sound
like I'm from a different time
651
00:43:02,580 --> 00:43:04,429
and so it fits perfectly for this,
652
00:43:04,430 --> 00:43:06,460
so it's nice to have a little sing,
actually.
653
00:43:10,100 --> 00:43:13,069
It's very soothing doing
those psalms.
654
00:43:13,070 --> 00:43:15,589
There's something that comes over
you when you're doing it,
655
00:43:15,590 --> 00:43:16,989
it's a really nice thing
656
00:43:16,990 --> 00:43:19,860
to do with the other nuns
when we get to do those scenes.
657
00:43:35,220 --> 00:43:40,739
I would be a little bit fed up with
you if I was the man upstairs.
658
00:43:40,740 --> 00:43:44,740
The man upstairs knows my reasoning.
659
00:43:45,791 --> 00:43:49,600
In which case, he also knows
you're scared.
660
00:43:54,430 --> 00:44:00,671
Yea though I walk through
the valley of the shadow...
661
00:44:08,160 --> 00:44:12,259
Yea though I walk through
the valley of the shadow of death,
662
00:44:12,260 --> 00:44:17,439
I will fear no evil,
for thou art with me,
663
00:44:17,440 --> 00:44:21,000
thy rod and thy staff,
they comfort me.
664
00:44:21,950 --> 00:44:29,029
♪ I once was lost
665
00:44:29,030 --> 00:44:36,469
♪ But now I'm found
666
00:44:36,470 --> 00:44:40,269
♪ Was blind
667
00:44:40,270 --> 00:44:46,560
♪ But now I see. ♪
668
00:44:48,040 --> 00:44:52,511
We are, none of us, cast adrift
if we have faith.
669
00:44:55,631 --> 00:45:00,039
Our location, Poplar, has developed
through each series.
670
00:45:00,040 --> 00:45:01,349
Morning, Reverend.
671
00:45:01,350 --> 00:45:04,269
Over ten years,
housing and fashions change.
672
00:45:04,270 --> 00:45:06,579
We're all girls together, aren't we?
673
00:45:06,580 --> 00:45:08,559
The abiding element
674
00:45:08,560 --> 00:45:10,580
has been a sense of community.
675
00:45:16,910 --> 00:45:18,840
Smile for Mother Mildred.
676
00:45:19,780 --> 00:45:23,939
All islands are like this.
All islands have a boundary
677
00:45:23,940 --> 00:45:25,949
and you live your life within it,
678
00:45:25,950 --> 00:45:30,299
and you love it or you break out
and make a life elsewhere.
679
00:45:30,300 --> 00:45:34,989
And on every island in the world,
no matter how magnificent,
680
00:45:34,990 --> 00:45:37,560
there are those who cannot leave
and those who cannot stay.
681
00:45:39,300 --> 00:45:41,400
And I was one of those who
could not stay.
682
00:45:43,270 --> 00:45:45,669
We have always helped our neighbours
where we can
683
00:45:45,670 --> 00:45:48,269
and the people in this district
are our neighbours not
684
00:45:48,270 --> 00:45:50,751
objects of charity or pity.
685
00:45:52,560 --> 00:45:55,309
So, why do you think
they chose to come to you?
686
00:45:55,310 --> 00:45:58,860
Because they want to stay in
the community.
687
00:46:00,150 --> 00:46:03,029
They want the midwives who saw them
through their pregnancy
688
00:46:03,030 --> 00:46:05,310
and they want their families
close at hand.
689
00:46:07,120 --> 00:46:09,919
Without the maternity home,
many of our patients would have the
690
00:46:09,920 --> 00:46:16,069
choice between giving birth in damp
overcrowded housing or a bus ride,
691
00:46:16,070 --> 00:46:19,850
while in labour, to a hospital
where their children couldn't visit.
692
00:46:21,790 --> 00:46:24,400
Personally, I don't think that's
any choice at all.
693
00:46:27,120 --> 00:46:30,669
Babies are not statistics
at Nonnatus House.
694
00:46:30,670 --> 00:46:33,879
We know when they are wanted
or unwanted,
695
00:46:33,880 --> 00:46:36,580
whether they are cherished
or deprived.
696
00:46:38,521 --> 00:46:42,640
We see when they're in with a chance
in life or stand no chance at all.
697
00:46:42,641 --> 00:46:46,641
We value every infant
and every mother equally.
698
00:46:48,350 --> 00:46:52,069
We are part of their world and they
are part of ours because that is
699
00:46:52,070 --> 00:46:55,659
what happens when you enter
people's homes.
700
00:46:55,660 --> 00:46:58,069
Beautiful bunch, eh?
701
00:46:58,070 --> 00:47:03,299
The power of the stories
lies in their essential truth.
702
00:47:03,300 --> 00:47:07,350
Joined the Great War and...
and never come home.
703
00:47:08,950 --> 00:47:11,919
And my Sally. Yeah.
704
00:47:11,920 --> 00:47:13,630
Circumstances change
705
00:47:13,631 --> 00:47:17,070
but people are much the same
from one generation to the next.
706
00:47:19,350 --> 00:47:21,150
- I'm sorry.
- Don't be.
707
00:47:22,560 --> 00:47:26,030
I love them. They loved me.
708
00:47:28,720 --> 00:47:32,719
One of my own personal favourites
is a story
709
00:47:32,720 --> 00:47:35,909
of a couple called the Gelins,
who lived in Poplar,
710
00:47:35,910 --> 00:47:40,069
and Mrs Gelin was dying and there is
one particular scene where
711
00:47:40,070 --> 00:47:44,749
he tells his wife how much he loves
her, how much he misses her
712
00:47:44,750 --> 00:47:49,749
and how much he wishes he had told
her all these things.
713
00:47:49,750 --> 00:47:51,669
And every time I see that scene,
714
00:47:51,670 --> 00:47:56,149
it makes me cry because it
reminds me of my own parents
715
00:47:56,150 --> 00:47:58,109
and how they felt for each other.
716
00:47:58,110 --> 00:48:00,560
SHE BREATH ES HEAVI LY
717
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:05,160
If I never said I was
grateful to you...
718
00:48:06,511 --> 00:48:08,360
...| say it now.
719
00:48:09,641 --> 00:48:14,641
If I never said I was proud
of the home that you kept...
720
00:48:15,670 --> 00:48:17,521
...| say it now.
721
00:48:21,391 --> 00:48:25,559
If I didn't tell you that you
were beautiful
722
00:48:25,560 --> 00:48:29,109
when your face grew lined...
723
00:48:29,110 --> 00:48:33,289
when you didn't have a new blouse
from one summer's end to the next,
724
00:48:33,290 --> 00:48:35,790
I say it now.
725
00:48:36,900 --> 00:48:39,280
And if I didn't tell you that
I loved you...
726
00:48:42,200 --> 00:48:43,930
...| say it now.
727
00:48:52,560 --> 00:48:55,479
Missing you,
728
00:48:55,480 --> 00:48:57,370
I will talk about tomorrow.
729
00:49:12,080 --> 00:49:16,279
Even though our stories took place
perhaps 70,
730
00:49:16,280 --> 00:49:18,109
60, 70 years ago,
731
00:49:18,110 --> 00:49:20,180
they're still true today.
732
00:49:28,480 --> 00:49:33,029
Because it's honest and because
it deals with periods of time,
733
00:49:33,030 --> 00:49:35,299
very particular periods of time,
734
00:49:35,300 --> 00:49:39,419
one's able to see the effect
of the changes in society.
735
00:49:39,420 --> 00:49:42,371
THEY SING
736
00:49:51,860 --> 00:49:55,419
My own sense is that people in a way
don't change that much
737
00:49:55,420 --> 00:49:58,929
emotionally, but our lives are run
by what happens around us,
738
00:49:58,930 --> 00:50:00,929
which we felt very much with Covid.
739
00:50:00,930 --> 00:50:05,309
I mean, we've all had to adapt to
a very different way of life
740
00:50:05,310 --> 00:50:09,799
and I think it's a wonderful
opportunity doing this
741
00:50:09,800 --> 00:50:12,809
to address all of those things, all
of those problems, the frailties,
742
00:50:12,810 --> 00:50:16,719
the vulnerability, the humour,
the resilience of people.
743
00:50:16,720 --> 00:50:19,521
This way, Doctor.
He's just round here.
744
00:50:21,720 --> 00:50:24,299
We need an ambulance right away.
745
00:50:24,300 --> 00:50:26,109
And bring something
to keep him warm.
746
00:50:26,110 --> 00:50:28,309
Every year, when I start to plan my
stories,
747
00:50:28,310 --> 00:50:30,069
I go into medical archives.
748
00:50:30,070 --> 00:50:32,500
One of the things
I find very interesting is
749
00:50:32,501 --> 00:50:35,809
when I started writing Call The
Midwife, we would have TB stories,
750
00:50:35,810 --> 00:50:37,849
we would have polio stories.
751
00:50:37,850 --> 00:50:41,419
Now I can't tell polio stories
and I can't tell TB stories,
752
00:50:41,420 --> 00:50:45,299
because they did not exist at that
time, they were being stamped out.
753
00:50:45,300 --> 00:50:46,590
CAMERA WHIRS
Timer's on!
754
00:50:55,990 --> 00:50:57,429
The Christmas special
755
00:50:57,430 --> 00:51:02,659
is, as always with Heidi,
she creates a really
756
00:51:02,660 --> 00:51:05,581
exciting and different story.
757
00:51:05,582 --> 00:51:09,031
And it's also very measured in terms
of bringing in all
758
00:51:09,032 --> 00:51:11,292
of the characters because in a way,
it's an introduction
759
00:51:11,293 --> 00:51:13,851
each year to the series, so that you
760
00:51:13,852 --> 00:51:15,331
remember where everybody is
761
00:51:15,332 --> 00:51:17,652
and what they're about
and what they're doing.
762
00:51:22,472 --> 00:51:25,293
EXCITED SHRIEKING
763
00:51:28,502 --> 00:51:30,251
So we are in the Turners' house
764
00:51:30,252 --> 00:51:33,911
and it's our most contemporary set.
765
00:51:33,912 --> 00:51:36,502
Very '60s,
the kitchen and furniture.
766
00:51:38,662 --> 00:51:41,381
We're celebrating Christmas
here at the moment and the important
767
00:51:41,382 --> 00:51:45,851
thing about Christmas is
the decorations the children do.
768
00:51:45,852 --> 00:51:48,831
Last year they made
Father Christmases,
769
00:51:48,832 --> 00:51:53,101
so they will recognise
things that they did last year,
770
00:51:53,102 --> 00:51:55,591
which I think gives the charm
771
00:51:55,592 --> 00:51:58,323
and the reality
to their Christmas tree.
772
00:52:02,599 --> 00:52:04,279
Happy Christmas, Nurse.
TRIXIE GASPS
773
00:52:04,280 --> 00:52:06,759
Liqueur chocolates! How decadent!
774
00:52:08,579 --> 00:52:10,409
And a urine sample.
775
00:52:11,500 --> 00:52:15,590
Sister Monica Joan has arranged
the figurines in what she calls,
776
00:52:15,591 --> 00:52:18,590
"conversational groupings".
777
00:52:18,591 --> 00:52:20,551
What, in the name of goodness,
778
00:52:20,552 --> 00:52:24,001
is the Angel Gabriel going to
say to the ass?!
779
00:52:26,641 --> 00:52:30,790
'62 going into '63,
there's something that obviously
780
00:52:30,791 --> 00:52:32,670
presented itself to us straight away
781
00:52:32,671 --> 00:52:35,390
and that was something
known as the Big Freeze.
782
00:52:35,391 --> 00:52:36,580
00h!
783
00:52:36,581 --> 00:52:40,360
Fred! A long time since we've seen
anything like this!
784
00:52:40,361 --> 00:52:43,510
Morning, Nurse Crane,
or should I say, er,
785
00:52:43,511 --> 00:52:45,431
baby, it's cold outside.
786
00:52:45,432 --> 00:52:48,390
It was quite astonishing with
icicles hanging off the roof
787
00:52:48,391 --> 00:52:50,660
and it affected a lot of things,
people's travel,
788
00:52:50,661 --> 00:52:52,640
the milk floats didn't arrive,
789
00:52:52,641 --> 00:52:54,760
people aren't getting heat at home.
790
00:52:54,761 --> 00:52:57,361
That'll teach you to snub
complimentary thermals.
791
00:52:59,251 --> 00:53:02,069
Babies being born again
without electricity...
792
00:53:02,070 --> 00:53:04,340
all the problems that that brings.
793
00:53:20,680 --> 00:53:22,959
Put that in with him.
794
00:53:22,960 --> 00:53:27,880
Don't seem right,
sending a bubby out into the cold.

He's alive! I thought
he was stillborn!
800
00:54:11,430 --> 00:54:14,829
We, as ever, at Christmas,
tell stories which are
801
00:54:14,830 --> 00:54:16,919
quite emotional
and challenging at times,
802
00:54:16,920 --> 00:54:19,400
but resolve in an incredibly
803
00:54:19,401 --> 00:54:21,960
joyful, positive, loving way.
804
00:54:24,710 --> 00:54:28,349
I can't allow that on the premises
until it's passed a fire test.
805
00:54:28,350 --> 00:54:31,280

highly inflammable.

Merry Christmas, everybody!
811
00:55:01,151 --> 00:55:03,709
The first time that we sang with
812
00:55:03,710 --> 00:55:09,099
the choir, and it was at night
and they came into the chapel,
813
00:55:09,100 --> 00:55:11,109
it wasn't their first scene
814
00:55:11,110 --> 00:55:14,270
but it was the first time we'd all
been there and it was sublime.
815
00:55:14,271 --> 00:55:17,549
We sang Hark The Herald Angels Sing
816
00:55:17,550 --> 00:55:22,039
and it was very, very uplifting.

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

We would like to thank all of

the actors and the thousands of crew
members who have helped us

and supported us
over the last ten years.

839
00:57:38,920 --> 00:57:41,849
Thank you for watching
but thank you for supporting us,
840
00:57:41,850 --> 00:57:45,639
because there's no way a show could
do that for ten seasons
841
00:57:45,640 --> 00:57:47,410
without that really loyal fan base.

We love all fans of Call The Midwife
but there's an extra special

thank you to fans who've been
with us from the beginning.
844
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,079
That is why we're still here.

We're sincere, we believe
it's something beautiful,

that it's about life

849
00:58:07,880 --> 00:58:09,959
and all those important things
850
00:58:09,960 --> 00:58:12,519
and we absolutely mean it.
