In 1962 Timothy Turner's explanation is simple (6.1)

In 1969 medical student Timothy Turner has more detailed reasoning (13.8)

Poplar residents please aware -

Timothy Turner will NOT dispense antibiotics over the telephone.

(No one would dare ask this of Miss Higgins!)

Something stuck in my head at hearing Shelagh say "I need you to stay with me".

In the first pics from 2nd Christmas special they aren't married so she doesn't count as Tim's parent/guardian. So they each have to deal with it alone.

In the recent episode they are both 'just' the foster parents and are able to be a team and support each other.

I wonder if Shelagh was thinking about that and needed Patrick's comfort before they went to May together. 😢💔

my thoughts immediately after watching the 2023 Christmas Special

Can we please keep Geoffrey? He's delightful and thoughtful and the first sibling of any of the Nonnatuns to appear since Sister Evangelina's brother!

I chuckled when they lampshaded the fact that Colette could have moved into Nonnatus house years ago. Chummy got to live there with her child as well, but that was so long ago, back in the old Nonnatus house before they had to knock it down.

I was going to make a comment about unsurprisingly predictable surprise triplets, just before they turned out to be quadruplets, which did surprise me, a little.

But I am surprised that the research-loving show-off doctor did not x-ray Brenda in month 5 or 6. Or maybe listen for more than half a minute with the pinard? can you not notice the difference between 2 heartbeats and 4? Did not everyone and their mom get to palpate poor Brenda's belly? They even let Tim have a go just because he was there.

Sister Monica Joan's depression rang very familiar. When my grandmother neared 90, she complained about having to grow so old. That remark from Sister Monica Joan back when Nancy was new could have been a quote from my gran: "Child, I have seen everything."

If Judy Parfitt is contemplating leaving her role, I'm sure we'd all applaud her for sticking around for so long and inspiring a ton of request for a prequel series about the beginnings of the order in Poplar.

Does Heidi have a plan where she wants to go with the story of May and her mother? the parcel gave an idea about the difficulties with fostering and adoption in a constellation like theirs. Shelagh making an effort to make the gift from Esther suitable for May is symbolic for the care she gives her, taking what is there and adapting it to what May needs. It is also fine with me to show that even a privileged and educated family like the Turners can only do so much in a system that made Esther have to leave May at an orphanage in the first place. The message I'm taking away is that the real need is to try make sure children can stay in their families and communities whenever possible and that communities and families have the means to raise their children.

Did anyone ever take a closer look at the differences between the kind of pastoral care Cyril gives in comparison to Tom ? I'd be interested in reading it, but my knowledge of the goings on in church at that time is nonexistent. Of course, comparing a curate who is pastoraling full time with someone who has a different day job will be mismatched, but there are more distinctions to be found.

Phyllis did not come home refreshed from the refresher course. And the enema discussion is a treat!

The idea with the illuminated baby Jesus will absolutely be stolen should anyone ever make me put together a nativity display.

More thoughts are sure to come, now I'm curious about yours!

christmas day tv binge part 2: watching the call the midwife christmas special has been mine and my mum’s christmas tradition since I was like 13, every year it has us both crying

love nancy and colette stuff but seeing nancy always makes me wish sister frances was still around because I always loved their dynamic being the younger people at nonnatus and having had such different lives (yes, I kind of shipped them)

similar feelings about loving cyril but seeing him making me miss lucille

sister monica joan has consistently been one of my favourites for a while and I really loved the stuff about them trying to recreate a christmas from her childhood

seems like most of what we get from patrick, shelagh and their kids these days is them being domestic and I do love that but I wonder if we might be heading towards something to do with may’s biological mother in the new season or if that was just for the special

call the midwife does patient storylines like no other show of this type, I always manage to get so attached to these characters we usually only see for one episode and I always love the connections between the patients and the main characters (and also the other patients) <3

honestly, I don’t know whether I should post on this blog or my medical drama sideblog if I ever want to post about the next series of call the midwife once it starts, cause on one hand it is technically medical and very much dramatic, but on the other hand it’s a period drama and not really set out in the same way as casualty at all. the seasons are short enough that I’m sure you guys won’t be as annoyed if I post about it over here as you would be if I did all my casualtyposting over here

skipped some stuff cause I’m getting tired, it’s been a long day, but this is what stuck out as I was watching

My favorite episodes of call the midwife are heart wrenching tales of families falling apart and the characters we love being hurt by it intercut with a silly sub plot of Fred betting on the world cup or the midwives having to put on a Christmas pageant. Or alternatively they cut away from Barbaras death (horrible and tragic) to have someone run into the room crying because JFK was shot

#call the midwife #pbs #call the midwife spoilers #i guess? #i dont think if anyone reads this they wont already know that Barbara dies #not the saddest ctmw death though too me #sister evangelina #her funeral makes me sob so hard every single time i see it #putting the boots on the casket? the funeral director tearing up? the girl getting married in her wedding dress? #it makes me cry so gd hard

Season 13 Episode 5 - all about the kids

Our young actresses and actors were more in the focus in this episode. April did a really good job and so did Alice. Growing up on set is one thing, now they get to show what they have learned.

Jonty has entered the "Yay!"-Phase of kiddy-acting on the CtM-screen.

Max has already proven himself through 12 years of playing Tim, and in this episode he get's to save the day because he's learned something that his parents haven't or have forgotten again.

With mould in episode 2, tetanus in episode 3, risks of smoking in pregnancy in episode 4 and the dangers of drowning in this episode, I feel like this season the show is taking it's job as medical education very seriously. They always take care with that responsibility, but I'm getting the impression that they focus on things that individual people can make a difference about or at least need to be aware of to know they're dangerous.

I knew the season was going to talk about tetanus, but the second Fred's jaw locked I was shocked, I was sure it was leukemia.
