Call the Midwife's Helen George features on this week’s Radio Times cover
In this issue, the Trixie Franklin actor and her co-star Olly Rix discuss their characters’ highly-anticipated on-screen wedding.
The last visit to Poplar at the end of a run of Call the Midwife is always a sad one. Heidi Thomas’s series following the trials and tribulations of a group of healthcare professionals working in London’s East End in the late 1960s is so much more than a Sunday night costume drama. It never fails to highlight stories that, although rooted in the past, remain relevant in 2023.
This time round, however, as well as sadness, we’re guaranteed a happy conclusion to the season with the long-awaited wedding of Trixie and Matthew. In the latest issue of Radio Times magazine, we talk to actors Helen George and Olly Rix about their big day.
On the subject of shows coming to an end, we also talk to Shaun Evans, Roger Allam and writer Russell Lewis about the final three episodes of Endeavour, which begin on Sunday.
We were saddened but not surprised when it was announced that these would be the last episodes – Inspector Morse and its spin-off Lewis each ran for 33 episodes, so the fact that the last Endeavour next month will be episode number 36 means that the prequel has outlasted all that came before it.
We will miss Endeavour greatly, as it truly is the end of an era. The dreaming spires of Oxford will never feel quite the same again.
