#Call the midwife patrick

If I had a penny for every time a fictional doctor held my heart and soul in a vice grip and occupied every waking thought for an indeterminate period of time, I would have two pennies, which isn't a lot but it's weird that it's happened twice.

Shelagh's new glasses (13.1 & 2.1)

The differences between men and women or maybe just the inattentiveness of the Turner men!

Also Shelagh had the same glasses for 11 years

(the upswept frame 1958 - 1969)

I saw a fic where it insinuated that Patrick and Shelagh don’t have sex very often and I just laughed. That’s the biggest bs I’ve ever heard. Do you see the way they look at each other? There’s a reason they had a very recent pregnancy scare. Heck, there’s a reason they defied the odds and she got pregnant in the first place. The sexual tension is there people.

Call the Midwife is truly a show that gets depicting consent as sexy. Because consent is just the most basic thing you should have when engaging in romantic activities, what makes it sexy is if a person is very extra about it. Like there is a reason everyone thinks Patrick Turner is sexy. That scene where Shelagh turns away from Patrick and says that she can't let him kiss her hand even though she wants to because she is devoted to God, what is Patrick's answer? "If I didn't accept that, I wouldn't deserve to live". Wow. That sure is a thing you can say. Go off Doctor Sexy.

Awee shucks! Patrick knows how important Sister Julienne is to Shelagh.

For the first time in its history, Call the Midwife fans have a two-part Christmas special to look forward to ahead of new episodes in the New Year.

Rather than the traditional 90-minute instalment, the BBC has confirmed that there will be two 60-minute episodes, which will also include a Christmas cliffhanger.

"Who doesn't love finding an extra, unexpected present underneath the Christmas tree?" said creator and writer Heidi Thomas OBE.

"When I was asked to write a two-part Christmas special for 2024, I couldn't resist!"

Executive producer Dame Pippa Harris added: "For the first time, viewers can luxuriate in a two-part festive treat this Christmas. Heidi has created a spellbinding special which I know will delight our loyal fans."

Director of BBC Drama Lindsay Salt hailed Call the Midwife as "one of UK television's most popular festive traditions".

She continued: "And this year we wanted to go even better, with Call the Midwife's biggest Christmas ever!

"Heidi and the team have lined up an absolute treat, with two irresistible episodes packed full of everything fans will love about this very special series at Christmas time."

All of the "well-loved characters" will be back for the two-parter, which picks up in Christmas 1969.

The midwives are "all busy delivering babies and doing the job they are most dedicated and committed to", while Poplar also welcomes a funfair, which adds "a burst of colour and excitement to the frosty landscape".

But there will be challenges, including influenza and the Hong Kong flu, not to mention an escaped prisoner.

As the neighbourhood prepares for a carol concert, "fears grow that he may be in the local area after a spate of break-ins".

Elsewhere, "the Turner children are caught up in the fever surrounding the Blue Peter Christmas appeal to collect dinky cars and scrap metal, Trixie makes a fleeting visit to Nonnatus House and is delighted to see her brother Geoffrey, and Miss Higgins has her grandson Harry stay for Christmas".

Violet also has her hands full hosting a mince pie competition, "but the Buckles' preparations for Reggie’s homecoming are thrown into turmoil".

Sister Evangelina: Reverend Mother, I have sinned.

Sister Monica Joan: I, too, Reverend Mother.

Sister Julienne: What is this sin, my children?

The nuns look at each other, then reveal from under their robes the bus route map and Dr. Turner's morning rounds list, knowing they have helped their former sister to finally meet with the doctor who loves her.
