Summary
Jenny has an eventful few days, starting with a patient who as well as having herself to worry about, is also struggling to cope with her mother, an agoraphobic who hasn't been outside for at least 12 years. On top of that, Alec asks the midwife to accompany him to Brighton for the weekend, leaving her wondering if his intentions are strictly honourable. However, things soon take a tragic turn. Meanwhile, Shelagh joins the local choir to take her mind off her problems. Jessica Raine, Leo Staar and Laura Main star
Review
It could go either way – you might find this episode so moving you have to be given oxygen as you gasp for air between sobs, or you might find it so cloying it blocks all of your major arteries. Even if it’s the latter, you’ll truly have a heart of granite if even just a small tear doesn’t leak from your flinty eyes.
And it all starts so well as Jenny is delighted to be asked to go to Brighton for the weekend by her boyfriend Alec. But are his intentions honourable? Or does he plan to defile and sully our dearest midwife? Jenny starts to wonder…
Meanwhile the Mother-Of-The-Week is a fragile young thing who’s worried about her sickly mum, who hasn’t left the house in 12 years. Of course, there’s a sad story behind all of this, one that the new nun, Sister Winifred, tries to unearth.
