This is the first Christmas special that I felt was too long. And slightly disjointed. Nurse Crane’s storyline seemed arbitrary, especially her journey home to Nonnatus House. I thought something was going to happen but she just had a nap then Trixie’s brother fixed her back??

On Christmas Eve I rewatched the first Christmas special from 2012, the one with Mrs Jenkins. What a brilliant and emotive episode that was. This years one felt a bit pointless in comparison.
 
For me, the magic of the Christmas specials has gone. Cyril never mentioned his wife Lucille, Shelagh getting in a flap about the present from Hong Kong and Nurse Crane was very under utilised. It was set in 1968 but with the social values of 2023 - no one batted an eyelid at the mixed race baby's birth and Nancy (a single unmarried mother) permitted to live in her place of employment with her illegitimate daughter! As ever, the endless background music is a distraction.
