'Call the Midwife' Holiday Special 2018 Recap
Happy Christmas! If you're reading this, you must have just recently watched the latest Call the Midwife holiday special, most likely while enjoying a lovely cuppa with a delicious mince pie or piece of snowman cake. Our friends from Poplar encountered adversity this Christmas season, but as usual, kindness and joy outweighed the sorrow. Let's take a look back at this eventful episode.
It’s 1963 and Christmas festivities in Poplar are well underway. Fred Buckle (Cliff Parisi) is taking his portrayal of Father Christmas in a new, modern direction. His wife Violet (Annabelle Apsion) is none too pleased as he rides his rocket sled pulled by metallic space elves, spewing Christmas sweets through the streets of their East London neighborhood.
Meanwhile busy nurse, mother and wife Shelagh Turner (Laura Main) is taking some time away from work over the holiday season and so must acquaint substitute nurse Miss Higgins (Georgie Glen) to the routines of the surgery. As usual, she's having difficulty loosening the reins of control. Outside, the Turners wait for her in a brand new turquoise blue station wagon, big enough for a family of five, a seven-foot tree and possibly a Christmas rabbit. When Tim (Max Macmillan) asks for a dog, his mother puts her foot down saying there’s not room for another living creature in their car or their lives.
