I loved Cyril’s character when he first come in it and now he’s just a spare part which attends every negative event to save the day.

Bloody hell the clip of next week when sister whats her face lobbed a teddy or other soft product at Sister Back From The Dead.. oooo I wished it was a brick!

I saw an old episode the other week when he was new to the programme and he was very fixated on his civil engineering degree and turned down the chance to co-own a car repair business. The man sure does like a career change and also seems to have totally forgotten his estranged wife so maybe he's got some condition that is causing memory loss and he's forgotten what he did yesterday. Dr Turner should investigate immediately

Gahh the over explain-y dialogue is driving me mad lately. Sorry if it's been brought up already, I haven't caught up on the thread as I'm watching now so don't want to spoil but I had to pause and moan - the scene where Trixie is asking if Chester (who we know is in America) called yet and Matthew says no he won't call til late as he's out to dinner and Trixie goes "ah yes, the time difference" 🤦‍♀️ we already knoooooow. It felt so unnecessary and shoehorned in!


Another moan jesus this writing 🤦‍♀️ pethidine at 8cm?? No chance lol surely Dr Hero of the Day knows pethidine is an opioid and would cross the placenta, affecting the baby when given that late in labour.

The prim and properness is starting to bother me a bit, as we're in the late swinging 60's nearly 70's now. Were people really still as stuffy as the 50's at that time?

I think most people still were quite prim and proper as the swinging 60s was a subculture, a rebellion against the norms and the older generation. I think it started to change, but it was a slow change. My mum was 24 in 1969 and she says she didn't even dare to swear at that point as it wasn't lady like.

I actually thought that showing the young, abused mum shouting at her mum was quite a bold thing in that era but did show a move away from the stuffiness

I feel like they are worse than the early series in terms of this. Ethan off Casualty spent most of 1957 sleeping in the boiler room of Nonnatus House and nobody batted an eyelid and and all the Nuns found it hilarious.

The Nuns didn't know 🤣 they knew of him as he visited but only Fred found him. Jenny had to do some big speech to Sister Bernadette about veg or something to sneak him out lol
 
To this day we have the people of Poplar crying their eyes out cos someone’s put a Palestinian flag on a lamp post, calling for a riot because of it, so I really doubt they were all open & warm like Call The Midwife portrays (sorry to bring politics into it btw, just wanted to use a current issue to reference). Honestly it does my nut right in.

Yeah and that speech on veg is what caused Sister Bernie to turn her back on the Lord and put her face in Pats meat & 2 veg. Good times x

Swearing I get, even now it's not really ladylike or gentlemanly. It's more the formal way they speak to each other that feels too prim. Fred (Minty) Buckle is the only one of the main characters who seems to speak in a more casual way

I think I must have had a dream about this and confused it with reality 😐 I thought Jenny was going to great lengths to hide him and everyone found out and the nuns started laughing about sneaking trainee priests in back in the 1930s!

I do have a very overactive imagination 😭
