Latest revision as of 00:03, 5 October 2020

A massively popular BBC One television series based on a series of books by Jennifer Worth. It follows a group of 1950s midwives, and the nuns with whom they live. The series debuted in January, 2012.

Tropes used in Call the Midwife include:

Battleaxe Nurse: Sister Evangelina, but the goodhearted variety.
British Brevity: There are only six episodes.
Costume Porn: There are some nice dresses, but most the characters are too poor, or are nuns, to afford really lovely clothes.
Huge Schoolgirl: Though not actually a schoolgirl, Chummy fits the character archetype in every other way.
Jerk with a Heart of Gold: Sister Evangelina is, underneath it all, as kind as the rest of the nurses.
Medical Drama: Albeit one not set in a hospital.
Nuns Are Funny: Sometimes, especially Sister Monica Joan
Nuns Are Spooky: Jenny is bit freaked out when she first arrives, but this is averted mostly.
Panicky Expectant Father: Inevitable.
Teen Pregnancy: An intensely tragic one, with Mary.
Who's Your Daddy?: With a surprisingly happy ending.
