Another episode of Call the Midwife ... but I’m beginning to wonder whether the series is turning into a vague 1950s cross between Holby City and Animal Hospital, covering everything from leg ulcers to pregnant livestock ...
Whilst all such storylines are dealt with in a sensitive and compassionate manner (and in the case of Fred’s latest venture, undeniably adorable!), each further exploring the world of the nurses, I am left somewhat confused as I had thought that the nurses were employed as midwifes, and that this was a central concept of the series .... had you joined the series last night, I’m not convinced you would have known ...
Alongside this, the wider relationships continue to develop ... some more successfully than others ...
A distinctive feature of the series is the moral lesson learnt by Jenny throughout the episode ... although last night’s offering was rather less uplifting ... with the trailer for next weekend’s finale, what started out as a gentle Sunday night drama is at risk of finishing slightly nearer to something resembling a soap opera ...
