Plots(1)
The hit BBC drama series which tells the moving and true-to-life stories of a group of midwives working in London's East End in the 1950s. Newly-qualified midwife Jenny Lee is the latest arrival at Nonnatus House, a convent in one of the poorest areas of London. Jenny is welcomed by the nuns and befriended by the other midwives - good-time girl Trixie, sensible Cynthia and fellow newcomer, the posh, fish-out-of water, Chummy. We are introduced to the local community through the eyes of the young nurse as she cycles out to tend to her patients. Although the life that greets Jenny is a world away from what she’s used to, she immerses herself in the births, deaths, intrigues and romances of a community she rapidly learns to love.

I never thought I'd be so content watching a BBC1 program based on the memoirs of a midwife in the post-war East End. But I was wrong and television changes. It's suspenseful, realistic enough, and quite informative. I'm just not too keen on the fact that from the second episode onwards, it's once again the Miranda Hart show in the background, with its futile side storyline drawing all the attention to itself. Still, I highly recommend it and I'm continuing with the other series.
