What’s it about

The midwives answer the call for medical help in the Outer Hebrides. In January 1965, a diphtheria outbreak sweeps through Poplar and Mother Mildred seeks to help a distraught woman who abandoned her newborn. Sister Julienne intervenes in the case of a pregnant prostitute, a family’s plan to leave Poplar are up in the air when a mysterious illness strikes, and Sgt. Woolf faces a health crisis of his own. Lucille encounters a defiant expectant mother who is less than kind, Phyllis attempts to help an immigrant mother with an alarming medical condition, and Shelagh and Trixie put on a fashion show to raise funds for the maternity home. Nonnatus House welcomes four male junior doctors to live and work among the midwives while Fred tries to help a sick man whose home is to be demolished.
