I don't know why I am so obsessed with this show. It has pulled me in hook line and sinker! Classy stuff!!!

Being an English woman brought up in the 1950's I know from first hand experience that the preduices would have been right across the board and would certainly have included the midwives and the nuns. That kind of tolerance did not happen until late 1960's. "Call the Midwives" was a book written to show the "social" changes in medical care. Having a "National Health Service" saved manymany new borns as well as expectant mothers. If you take note you see how some of the mmother's can't believe they are getting this treatment free of charge and tend to look upon it with disbelief.

My husband and I love this show. We have watched every season and stumbled on it quite by accident. Maybe as a mother of 8 I appreciate how far we've come in giving birth. I really admire what the Midwives went through to help women give birth. It's one of the best serials on TV today.

Thanks for boosting a show I love to watch. The show is extremely well liked here in South Africa and for me the great appeal is that the issues of the day are handled so beautifully and does not need to resort to the base to sell a show

I think this is a wonderful learning and entertaining show! It tells us a lot about Britain after the war and what some women and their families went thru' as well as the medical care available and what they learned with their service. Some of the midwives really had to learn humbleness; while others had to learn forgiveness and they all learned compassion and love for those they served - and vice-versa! The series make wonderful gifts, as my daughter discovered when she gave me the 1st season as a Christmas gift.
