Currently watching Call The Midwife season 2.
Meanwhile it was announced sometime ago that there will be a 2013 Christmas Special and a third season in 2014.
Season 2, Episode 1: Quite intense situation with Jenny dealing with a woman in an abusive marriage. Quite tragic how this came to an for the woman. Also intense situation when delivering a baby in a cargo ship.

Season 2, Episode 3. Jenny sure showed good instincts when she reported on a surgeon even to the extent that the surgeon resolved this problem himself. Quite intense seeing both twins giving birth to their babies.

Season 2, Episode 5: Guest stars Sharon Small. Truly uncomfortable episode to watch regarding the Small character. The play of Robin Hood with all-school boys cast was basically the only thing that I could watch without any discomfort

Season 2, Episode 7: Penultimate episode of season 2. An unfortunate reminder of the existence of racism which existed in the 1950s and quite good the way the presentation of it in this episode.

Season 3, Episode 1: Season 3 opener. Princess Margaret makes an appearance here but of course we don’t see her face. Knew Chummy would not be content to being a housewife and that she would return to work as a midwife. Interesting that cystic fibrosis gets discovered here at this point in the series’ narrative.

Season 3, Episode 2. Quite a contentious pregnancy that was dealt here and the aftermath sure came around uneasily.

Just learned that Jessica Raine has quite Call The Midwife as she made her final appearance in the season 3 finale and has left to pursue a career in Hollywood. Call The Midwife has already been renewed for a fourth season but since the series has been built on Jenny Lee’s (played here by Jessica Raine) memoirs it would be interesting to see where it will go without Jenny. With the departure of Jenny, does this mean that Call The Midwife would in effect become its own spin-off.

Season 3, Episode 5: Quite a moving story about the Downs Syndrome pregnant girl and quite disturbing on seeing the attitudes towards Downs Syndrome people back to when this series was set.
