Lucky Man 3.4 Missing Persons had Aimee Coe (Rosa Coduri) saying that she watches Call The Midwife.

Call The Midwife 2018 Christmas Special: Not bad storyline about the Chinese kids. Sister Julienne runs for election to be the new Mother Superior. For a moment it gave the indication that she won only to turn out to be Sister Mildred instead. This has Jack Shalloo playing Bobby Hollier whose wife is pregnant. Shalloo should know what that feels likes as he had played the pregnant man Yoss in Doctor Who: The Tsuranga Conundrum which came almost two months earlier on November 4 2018.

Season 8, Episode 1: Season 8 opener. Not comfortable with the storyline about the model. Not bad backdrop in which the queen is about to give birth. I look it up that with this set in 1964, the royal baby in question is Prince Edward.

Season 8, Episode 2: Moving episode as Lucille becomes in the case of Clarice Millgrove (Annette Crosbie) as Clarice fights to keep her home but this was unsuccessful. Sad when Clarice dies in bed. A truly a superb and beautiful performance by Crosbie as Clarice.

Season 8, Episode 3: Congratulations to Violet on being elected to the local council. Moving story about the mother who just had given birth to her second child, her first having died when still being little. Quite unexpected the beach outside Nonnatus House but the beach did look nice when it came to fruition.

Season 8, Episode 4: What a surprise that Doctor Who: The Aztecs was on television at Nonnatus House and what a fan Sister Monica Joan is of the First Doctor William Hartnell. This comes just months after Call The Midwife was referenced in The Tsuranga Conundrum.
In a funny coincidence I was reading my comments on The Tsuranga Conundrum including the said Call The Midwife reference just before coming across the Doctor Who viewing in Call The Midwife. This Call The Midwife episode is co-written by an Amy Roberts and does not seem to be the same Amy Roberts who was costume designer of Doctor Who between 1977 and 1983. This episode guest starred Niky Wardley who had played Eighth Doctor Big Finish companion Tamsin Drew made canonical by The Night of the Doctor. In addition to this whether this was intended as a further Who reference there is a couple here with the surname of Tennant. Perhaps named after Tenth Doctor David Tennant.
Niky Wardley played Enid Wilson and she and her adult daughter are both pregnant.
No doubt it is bizarre for anyone to be born at the same time of an uncle or aunt.

Season 8, Episode 5: Quite a confronting issue about a young bride to be learning that she has intersex characteristics. Certainly an issue that can be presented today and not in 1964 when this episode is set.

Season 8, Episode 7: Penultimate episode of season 8. Terrifying case of gonorrhoea. Very horrifying fact that Valerie discovered about her grandmother.

2019 Christmas Special: This has the residents of Nonnatus House going to the Outer Hebrides. Fascinating storyline with the teenage girl Effie and interesting on Phyllis revealing that was brought up by an unmarried mother and how it influence of what she is doing now.

Season 9, Episode 1: Season 9 opener. Intriguing episode about the baby of a housekeeper. Mother Mildred sure provided a clue to the baby's father when she asked the Father who the father is. Horrifying that Nonannatus House has been earmarked for demolition.

Season 9, Episode 3: Series writing debut by former Doctor Who script editor Helen Raynor. This episode came on January 19 2019, the same day as Doctor Who: Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror and it has things in common with Raynor's Doctor Who writing debut Daleks In Manhattan. Both said Doctor Who episodes were set in New York and showed the Statue of Liberty. Raynor's episode is the fourth episode of David Tennant's second season as the Doctor and correspondingly Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror is the fourth episode of Jodie Whittaker's second season as the Doctor. Raynor's Call The Midwife debut has a reference to Jean Shrimpton and Nikola Tesla's Night of Terror guest star Robert Glenister played Jean Shrimpton's father in We'll Take Manhattan and incidentally Jean Shrimpton was played by Karen Gillan. As well as the same writer Daleks In Manhattan & Call The Midwife 9.3 shares the same guest star in Alexis Caley. Intriguing that Lucille helped give birth to a baby in a lift. Moving about that family from East Pakistan. Pretty good that fashion show at the end.

Season 9, Episode 5: Nice incorporating The Sound of Music in a time when it was new. After being accused of being out of touch with ordinary people, Sister Julienne for a little while gets out of her nun’s habit and goes to see The Sound of Music. Not that I am disrespecting her as a nun but Sister Julienne looks lovely in something other than the nun’s habit but then again Jenny Agutter always looks lovely.

Season 9, Episode 6: Antepenultimate episode of season 9. Sister Julienne finally breaks the news about the impending demolition of Nonnatus House and things sure looked worrying. Sad about Valerie's cousin new baby not having long to live. Things became complicated when May's mother, thought to be dead, is alive and wants her daughter back causing distress for the Turners. Definitely sympathies for everyone concerned.
