Call the Midwife star teases “Dickensian” Christmas double bill

As a gamer who has navigated through countless virtual worlds, I find myself drawn to the intricate tapestry that is the universe of “Call the Midwife“. The announcement of this year’s Dickensian-inspired Christmas specials has me both excited and intrigued.


Actress Jenny Agutter, known for her role in Call the Midwife, hinted that this year’s holiday episodes will have a distinctly “Dickens-like” atmosphere.

This holiday season, you heard it correctly! For the very first time, the popular BBC One drama is preparing a two-part special. It promises to be filled with excitement as we follow an escaped convict, a mince pie contest, Blue Peter’s metal collection drive, and the circulation of various flu strains.

In Call the Midwife, there’s a blend of light and dark tones, and this isn’t unusual for the series. However, actress Jennifer Worth (Sister Julienne) finds these episodes strikingly similar to the style of a renowned novelist.

At the press conference, she expressed her deep emotional response to it, saying it has a certain resemblance to the works of Charles Dickens. Although it can be quite somber, it also contains an abundance of humor and empathy, which makes it less heavy.

Acknowledges the reality that we’re facing tough circumstances, have faced them, and will continue to do so – simply acknowledging this fact.

Laura Main, portraying Shelagh Turner, expressed that it seems fitting for a Christmas tale not only to brim with joy and merriment, as real life continues even during the holiday season.

As a gamer, I know all too well that challenges make the victories sweeter. And just like in my games, life can sometimes be tough. But seeing the stories where characters put aside their own struggles to help each other, especially during festive seasons like Christmas, brings a warmth to my heart. It’s a reminder of the power we all have to make a difference, even in small ways.

For the very first time, this year’s Christmas episodes are set to leave viewers hanging, creating a suspenseful ending. Fret not, fans! The production of season 14 is progressing swiftly (albeit slightly slowed by some unfavorable weather during the last week).

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