On Call the Midwife, this week’s adventures in Poplar take us right back to where we left off last time - the local council elections. As you may recall, there was a bit of a cliffhanger regarding the voting results, interspersed with some touching stories about a family struggling with a mysterious health condition and a lonely pensioner with a brave and difficult past. If you need a refresher, our recap of Season 8's second episode can be found right here.

We don't have to wait long to learn that Violet Buckle did, indeed, win the Poplar North council seat. Fred couldn’t be prouder of his wife and Reggie calls from his residential home to wish his mum a big congratulations

The first request from her constituency comes from Nurse Crane who wishes to turn the forecourt of Nonnatus House into a beach for the upcoming bank holiday weekend. Many of Poplar's residents can’t make it to the seaside so she wants to bring the seaside to them.
