Created by Heidi Thomas and inspired by the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, this collection includes the Christmas Specials from 2012 through to 2017. Set in the late 1950s and early 1960s, Call the Midwife follows the nuns and midwives from Nonnatus House convent, who visit the expectant mothers of Poplar, providing the poorest women with the best possible care. From formula milk to television, times are changing in the East End, bringing both opportunity and heartache.
