Summary
The nuns and midwives move into their new premises following the explosion that wrecked the old Nonnatus House, and are joined by fresh arrival Sister Winifred - a kindly-but-naive young woman. Jenny becomes concerned about new mother Merle's mental state and the welfare of her baby, who isn't feeding properly. Dr Turner believes it could be something more serious - although the mystery is eventually solved by the last person anyone would have expected. Chummy is struggling to adjust to her new role as a housewife and mother, and organises an open day at the community centre. Jessica Raine, Stephen McGann and Miranda Hart star
Review
The nuns and midwives have moved into new premises, though they’ve kept the name of their previous home, Nonnatus House, as a new series of Heidi Thomas’s soft-centred mega-hit begins. It’s a cavernous place and the smell of paint is having a funny effect on Sister Monica Joan (the fantastic Judy Parfitt) while everyone else frets that the phone isn’t working properly. But just because the GPO is being laggardly doesn’t mean the midwives are cut off from Poplar and its burgeoning, bellowing mothers-to-be.
Young Jenny (Jessica Raine) is worried about a mum who seems to be buckling under the strain of two screaming children, while Chummy (Miranda Hart), bored by dreary domesticity, itches to get back to work again. And there’s a royal visitor to liven things up.
