Call The Midwife’s 2018 series continues tonight but who’s on the cast and what will happen?
The 2018 Call The Midwife series will continue on BBC One tonight from 8PM, March 4.
Created and written by Heidi Thomas, Call The Midwife returns to BBC One for a seventh series.
In series seven, the nuns and nurses find themselves tested, both personally and professionally, as never before. It’s 1963 and all around them they see the old East End vanishing, as slum clearances make way for bold new tower blocks to accommodate expanding communities. Their work brings them into contact with a wide range of challenging issues, from Leprosy to Stroke, Cataracts, and unmarried mothers.
