What was the point of having four trainees if your only going to include two as characters??

Trixie's forehead was looking rather botox'd this week. I didn't think it was around in 1969.

I've been looking at the titles the past couple of weeks and it's changes from written by to created by Hedi Thomas different people have been credited as writers.

She said this in 2016, but I don't think she's sticking to it anymore lol.Trixie's forehead was looking rather botox'd this week. I didn't think it was around in 1969.
Some of my friends have started using Botox and I think, "I actually really don’t want this." It’s such a risk as a screen actress, I don’t want to ruin my career.
As a British actress working in period dramas I have to be careful. 1950/60s Poplar [the setting for Call The Midwife] didn’t have veneers or Botox. It’s not TOWIE! So I’m doing everything else I can because I don’t want to have needles or surgery.
Don’t get me wrong, it’s very good. I see my friends and think, "Wow you look amazing" but I think I’d get obsessed and end up looking like Sylvester Stallone’s mum.

God, Matthew is genuinely a terrible actor. He’s been to the Joey Tribbiani ‘smell the fart’ school of acting.

I agree. He’s only got two expressions. To me his face is a cross between Hugh Grant, Robbie Williams and an Oompa Loompa.
How many times does the Nonnatus house closure storyline come back round? Close the gaff down let the mothers have the babies up the hospital then! Everyone I’ve spoken to who had kids around that time & area all said they went hospital to have their babies. It’ll be 1990 soon and they’ll still be pretending one GP & a handful of midwives delivered every baby in Poplar. Piss off Heidi, it’s done for babes x

Just did a Google and saw this. Did he ever do a Robbie tribute act?

My nan started having babies in 1953 and she had them all in a maternity home, apart from the two sets of twins which were born in hospital.
Most people I know born in the late 60’s and beyond were born in a hospital.

A family member had 3 births in the 60s and 70s all at home (2 twin births too) as she had a fear of hospitals.
I wonder if many areas did 'switch over' to hospital deliveries but because Poplar had the resource of the community midwife service linked to nonnatius house and was shown to be effective it just carried on until presumbly health authority rules closed it?
It is after all based on some truth in Jennifer worths memoirs.

She only wrote a few books and her storylines were done by s2.
