Series 3 - Episode 5

Join us, Bex, Alex (2 Brits) and Jenn (an American), three Call The Midwife super fans, as we rewatch Call The Midwife from the start and discuss each episode in detail!

Jenny takes compassionate leave after Alec's death, and Sister Julienne collapses with exhaustion. Shelagh returns to help out, and efficient nurse Patsy Mount arrives. It is also the jubilee of Sister Evangelina taking holy orders. We also meet Mrs Harper, whose daughter Sally, a young woman with Downs Syndrome, is pregnant. The father, cerebral palsy sufferer Jacob, lives in the same residential home, and they declare that they are in love and aim to marry, but the baby is stillborn, and Jacob is sent to another home. News of Evangelina's celebration attracts her brother Vincent, now an alcoholic tramp, and she steals food for him and sees him admitted to the hospital. Still, her party goes ahead - despite her protests - and the community shows their appreciation of her work over the years.
