Pamela’s Picks: Call The Midwife – Season 5

call the midwife season five

 

One of my favorite current TV dramas is the British series Call The Midwife which takes place in London’s poor East End in the 1950s and 1960s. This year was season 5 which takes place in 1961 and  continues storylines, both medical and personal, that happened in previous seasons along with new ones. Midwife Trixie broke up with Reverend Tom but he’s now interested in Midwife Barbara. Will they get together or will Trixie’s jealousy prevent it? Patsy and Delia are trying to repair their secret romantic relationship after Delia’s accident and amnesia last season. Women, among them Sister Mary Cynthia, are being assaulted – will she be able to lead the police to the attacker? The dangers of smoking are addressed. Then there are all those babies being born with horrible deformities. What could be causing them? And in the last episode the convent suffers a tragic loss. Now I’m looking forward to seeing what will happen next year in Season 6.

One thought on “Pamela’s Picks: Call The Midwife – Season 5

  1. I really enjoy this series too! I love how birth is presented as normal, and how the doctor is there for emergencies but respects the midwives’ skills. I did miss Chummy in this season, but I’ve read she will be back in the next one!
