CALL THE MIDWIFE, written by Heidi Thomas and based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth, returns for a second series.
Extended to eight episodes airing Sundays, March 31 - May 19, 2013, BBC One’s most successful new drama since ratings began sees the return of all its well-loved characters as well as some new faces.
Nonnatus House opens its doors to warmly welcome the audience back into 1950s East End London and continues to follow Poplar’s community of exceptional midwives and nursing nuns.
The new series stays true to its roots — viewers can expect to see more births, babies and bicycling, plus blossoming romance from an unexpected quarter.
Episode Seven airs Sunday, May 12, 2013 at 8 p.m. & repeats Sunday, May 19 at 7 p.m. just prior to Episode Eight - On Cynthia’s district rounds, she administers daily insulin to a man who consistently belittles his wife, Annie.
A visit from Annie’s son and support from Cynthia help Annie gain confidence and start to change her life.
Jenny witnesses persecution of a different kind when she looks after a black mother-to-be who is subjected to racial prejudice from neighbors.
Funded by the success of the Summer Fete, Nonnatus House takes ownership of a scooter to help with rounds. Fred teaches the midwives to ride — with amusing and unforeseen results.
Everyone is thrilled when Chummy and Peter return from Sierra Leone with a surprise.
