The Christmas episode Call the Midwife left viewers in tears – and some!
The BBC One-era drama returned this year after a very special meal by Yuletide that experienced some musical performances and heartfelt family moments.
Doctor Who star Peter Davison arrived as a master leader leading a circus in Topola to celebrate Christmas in 1965.
While nurse Trixie Franklin (Helen George) is faced with a rather unexpected gift, Shelagh Turner has lately got perhaps one of the most emotional lines on the show.
By the way, nurse Crane (Linda Bassett) continued to give laughter and tears in some particularly fun scenes.
In the end, it seems that Call Midwife was just a tonic that looked at home needed in the nightmarish 2020.

Another call from a midwife fan wrote, “My God, what an amazing program tonight. Strange old Christmas without a family, but this is exactly what is needed. Thank you very much #CalltheMidwife@ CallTheMidwife1 “.
