Festive cheer!

CALL THE MIDWIFE Christmas Day, 7.40pm BBC1

- NICK CANNON, REBECCA MAHONEY, SEAN MARLAND, VICTORIA WILSON

As Christmas hits Poplar in 1965, the Nonnatus nuns and midwives are full of festive cheer when they hear a circus is coming to town. Everyone is looking forward to all the fun that might mean but could events scupper their plans? Sister Julienne fears Nonnatus House is still under threat from developers, Sister Monica Joan lands herself in hospital, Lucille’s having a bad hair day, and Trixie’s annoyed to receive a subscription to a marriage bureau as a Christmas gift!
