Call The Midwife stars reveal all ahead of new two-part Christmas special

The two-part special explores the contrasting experiences of senior staff on a mercy mission in Hong Kong and younger midwives managing Poplar, with new dynamics and seasonal mischief.

  • BBC One will air a two-part Call The Midwife special that splits its storyline between Hong Kong and Poplar, with senior Nonnatus House staff on a mercy mission while younger midwives stay in Poplar, East End.
  • Series writer Thomas, 63, says the two-episode format, introduced last year and used again this year, creates a diverse landscape to explore multi-generational bonds among Nonnatus House characters.
  • Filming on location, Stephen McGann recalled the sweltering summer heat with the Hong Kong crew, while back in Poplar, Nonnatus House staged a Seventies party with absent Nurse Rosalind, prompting mischief.
  • Sister Julienne, Jenny Agutter, finds new energy about the Order’s future, and the special features Laura Main, Helen George, Stephen McGann, Annabelle Apsion before series 15 with eight new hour-long episodes.
  • Producers argue the special balances both locations by showing Christmas in Hong Kong alongside events in Poplar, East End, offering fresh territory for the long-running Call The Midwife series.
