Call the Midwife
Christmas Day, 6.15-7.30pm, BBC1
The action centres around lapsed sister Bernadette (Laura Main, adding another lovely performance to a sterling group effort), about to marry Dr Turner and feeling guilty about rejecting her former path and sisters. As a more lively dramatic counterpoint to her ‘Sound of Music’ style dilemma, an unexploded bomb in the area means mass evacuations for all, the return of unwelcome memories for Alan, clearly shell-shocked, and the catalyst for a sad revelation from Trixie.
If you’re one of the few sensible ‘Midwife’ refuseniks having to watch this Christmas special with your mum, think of it as a big Christmas onesie that you can safely discard after the festive season.
