Call The Midwife


Call The Midwife - the second series ended last weekend. This time around it had 9 episodes and there's just no way all 9 are going to fit on a single disc. Sorry, but that's the way it goes. The Christmas special is going on Disc 1 with Series 1. If you already have Disc 1 from a year ago, and didn't get the Christmas special earlier, I'll gladly try and fit it on another disc for you. On a happier note, the cast appeared in a Comic Relief special Friday night. It was actually a spoof on the UK observational documentary series One Born Every Minute. Much to the shock of the mother and father-to-be, they find themselves in the labour room attended by the Call The Midwife cast who rode into the room on bicycles, of course, and are soon joined by a very special doctor. It's only 6 minutes long, but a lot of fun. Call The Midwife is set to air in the USA in a couple weeks. I imagine PBS will be editing the episodes. These are full-length. Speaking of Comic Relief, the big news this time around was the return of the Vicar of Dibley for the first time in 6 years. It's just a 9-minute episode, but all the cast is there except Alice. Alice has left the building. Damian Lewis also appears in it. As usual - well done. It was like seeing an old friend after a long spell.
