McGann assured there would be even more heartfelt scenes reminiscent of the popular show “Call the Midwife” in the upcoming scripts. Moreover, he mentioned that the actors were taken aback by the recent script they had received.

He mentioned about the upcoming changes for the show: “Since we’ve explored travel before, things won’t be exactly the same moving forward. However, they will evolve into something new, so it’s hard to predict. In fact, even we might be the last ones to know!

Throughout his career, he’s been involved with numerous productions for about a decade each. However, he considers this show to be exceptional – boasting the finest writing, an outstanding cast, top-notch production quality, and a delightful group of individuals that one could ever hope to work with.

Call the Midwife airs on BBC One and streams on BBC iPlayer.
