NEW DRAMA

Call the Midwife

Sunday, 8pm, BBC1

Emotional challenges await the residents of Nonnatus House as Call the Midwife moves into 1971 for its 15th series.

As the BBC1 period drama returns, the team's vital work in Poplar, east London, is under threat again, as spirited nurse Trixie Aylward (Helen George) visits the Board of Health, where she is informed that all medical provision will soon be taken out of council control and put into the hands of the NHS.
