If you are not familiar with this show, it basically features every insane childbirth complication you can imagine. My husband spent months begging me to watch anything else.

neutral · AI labelView post →Fewer characters on TV had abortions this year — and more stories reinforced shame. Storylines about abortion and conversations about it showed up on television 65 times this year, on prestigious dramas like *The Pitt *and *Call the Midwife*, on reality shows such as *W.A.G.s to Riches* and *Love is Blind* and on lowbrow animated comedies like* Family Guy* and *South Park*. That's about the same as last year. In 2024, [TV shows featured 66 such…

neutral · AI labelView post →Wonder what will end first - current series of Call The Midwife or the American republic? Ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha ha, get Have I Got News For You on the phone, they'd kill for material this good.
neutral · AI labelView post →I started re-watching Call the Midwife and now I’m crying because people on a historical fiction show that doesn’t take place in the US are receiving better healthcare than people in the country that stays acting like it’s the world’s rich, bougie auntie.
neutral · AI labelView post →It's only early March and already the BBC has given us three brilliant drama series: The Narrow Road to the Deep North, Lord of the Flies, and (I'm biased, but) this series of Call the Midwife has been superb. Rich, deep, committed storytelling, fabulous casts.
positive · AI labelView post →I've been binging Call the Midwife don't ask me why I've seen a lot of clips from tiktok and it looked like a nice show and yeah okay I do love it
positive · AI labelView post →Both The Pitt & the most recent series of Call the Midwife (set in the mid 70s) have measles plot lines *because* that disease was endemic before vaccination & many many children died or were disabled by its effects. Vaccines save lives.
neutral · AI labelView post →Call The Midwife is my go to British tv show.
positive · AI labelView post →For everyone hating on Starmer's defence spending plans, are you prepared to lose our British values like Call the Midwife, Death in Paradise, The Apprentice, Silent Witness, Amandaland, Michael McIntyre’s Big Show, Antiques Roadshow, Gladiators, EastEnders, Miss Austen, Countryfile, Dragon’s Den?

Watch this clip from BBC’s ‘Call the Midwife’ about the 1970 Birth Cohort Study- which we confirm at SRI we still learn from at least 55 years later! www.bbc.co.uk/programmes/p...
neutral · AI labelView post →Omg wait Call The Midwife is a show set in the past all about peoples' ovary-based reproductive systems, it is a Period² Drama
neutral · AI labelView post →I applaud when tv shows use disabled people for disabled roles. Call the Midwife did a super job at this!!! Kids with the same disabilities learn that they can do anything they want to & the actors on that show proved that 10 fold!! (& Corky on Life Goes On! 🥰)
positive · AI labelView post →In 24 hours I give you fair warning that I'll be getting pretttty excited about Call The Midwife. Haven't really watched since its very first series, but tomorrow MY SON will (?should) show up in the credits for a SECRET REASON. Secrecy will not stop the maternal pride, albeit cloaked in mystery.
neutral · AI labelView post →Also, I think someone should sit Badenoch down and make her watch a few series of Call The Midwife and get a basic sense of what it was like when women had loads of babies and there was no maternity pay.
neutral · AI labelView post →Great overnights for #DoctorWho - 4.11m people watched it live, the 6th most-watched show of the day, only just beaten by Eastenders & Call the Midwife. The episode will probably hit about 6m when the full figures are released in a week. Click the link for the full story. www.bbc.com/mediacentre/...

It's garter week in #ShowMeYourKnits. Bonus points for knitting in one piece.
neutral · AI labelView post →I like in Call the Midwife when they have to miss a whole year of filming in 2020 so they show that time has passed by giving Sister Julienne and Fred glasses. Nothing else changes.
positive · AI labelView post →If you like The Pitt and what it covers, I highly recommend Call the Midwife (on PBS in the US). It starts in the 1960s, but the show is really holding a mirror to modern problems, like vaccine hesitancy/anti-vaxxing, diseases rearing their heads, abortion, birth control, trusting science, etc.
positive · AI labelView post →Apropos of nothing, got home from the gym this morning and my husband put Call the Midwife theme music on the stereo while I showered. Made me smile (a favorite show). Simple pleasures.
positive · AI labelView post →The NHS made a huge difference. (As the show Call the Midwife makes very clear)
neutral · AI labelView post →I think the last show that hit me the way The Pitt has was Call the Midwife in its early seasons. Like, just rearranging who I am and want to be levels of brilliant (Also having a lot of thoughts about how I fared in the universes where I had my shit togetherish younger and became a doctor)
positive · AI labelView post →Anyone else get distracted from the show when seeing the handknits 🧶 on All Creatures Great and Small or Call the MIdwife?
neutral · AI labelView post →First episode in this series of Call the Midwife has a bunch of crazy evangelicals who think their child has conceived immaculately AND an angry Ulster Presbyterian mother taking exception to the kindly nuns and I am wondering if I wrote this episode and somehow forgot about it.

positive · AI labelView post →The Pitt has become my comfort show, alongside Call The Midwife. I don't need to have HBO, but I'm going to until the season DVDs are released, because I can't live without this show now. Rewatch 🧵: 1.01 - "7 A.M." It's probably a good thing I don't work somewhere that's a tall++ #ThePitt
positive · AI labelView post →And TBH the 'Call the Midwife' is the ur-example of 'wow linear TV is in a bad way', in that Call the Midwife is an enduringly popular show that will do absolute gangbusters on iPlayer, it's maybe the cleanest example this year given there is not a Doctor Who Christmas special.
