Never watched it but could easily sink into it. It might be too good though 😂

Ohh you must! You've got a week to binge all 30 epsiodes. Worth it, even just for the eye candy that is John Shelby (Joe Cole) and Tommy Shelby (Cillian Murphy)....and 🙈....even Arthur Shelby.....in that order of attractiveness lol.

Plot lines for Christmas Special??

- Sister Julienne I think is keeping a health secret - would they dare kill her off at Xmas?!
- Trixie returns & pregnant from their rendezvous
- First epidural?
- or another heart warming nativity with the Turner kids 🙄 ...they might even gain a voice?

I really don't know why they gave them so many children as the child actors don't do anything. I would much rather watch Shelagh as a midwife instead of a stepford wife who's main line is "oh Patrick"
 
I do wonder how Shelagh manages to be a midwife at all with three young children and a home to run! I imagine back in the day that most doctors wives wouldn’t have worked at all.
I noticed the kids stuck to gender stereotypes when playing, the girls as nurses and the boy a doctor - but I suppose that is true to the time!
 
Hmm, all the build-up to the final episode which in the end I felt was an anti-climax. Led to believe a major character was going to be killed off but of the 5 fatalities 2 were new fleetingly introduced characters (train driver and tea lady), 1 was a random man lying on a stretcher and 2 appeared to be unknown. The train crash storyline brought some drama back into it, e.g. cliff hanger ending and who was going to get caught up in it. It ended a bit "all is well, nothing to see here" tweeness.

The absence of narration at the beginning was great (the programme didn't need it) and I'm pleased that Phyllis returned from her holiday.
 
Sister Julienne was unwell earlier in the season too wasn’t she? Although it was mild?

I am wondering if they will make her unwell at Christmas…
 
I spent too much of that episode on tenterhooks waiting for something bad to happen to someone. I thought was it going to be Nurse Corrigan because of the bump to her head and when she was in bed drinking tea, Sister Frances comes to check on her and she's gone. then I thought was it going to be Timothy looking for his dad, then until she walked through the door I thought that Phyliss was already on her way back and she had been on the train and nobody knew.
 
Definitely an anti-climax. Only saving grace of the episode was Phyllis catching Cyril in his undercrackers then swiftly restoring order to the destruction. What a woman 😍

Am I terrible person for being disappointed that Nurse Corrigan got off the train? She really irritates me, even more than the Turners

I have no love for her at all, she jars with the rest of Nonnatus House and if she's the new generation coming through I'm just going to go sit in Chapel with Sister MJ and reminisce about the good old days 🤣

Not sure if its been mentioned before, I only started following the thread last night bit the actor who plays Reggie is ' dirty den's' real son.
He really had a look of him last night when he was having his photo taken for the paper.

It doesn’t make sense her being the voice over anymore Jenny left ages ago. If they were going to keep it it should of been an elderly Trixie or Lucille.

Remember a Christmas episode when they started with her, showing her face? That was the time to switch it to old sister julienne or an old trixie

They had a nanny many seasons ago, at least that was believable

I’m still wishing for chummy to return, the plot line really never properly resolved
