Nurse Jenny Lee and Sister Evagelina in Call the Midwife
This moving, intimate, funny, and true-to-life series, based on the best-selling memoirs of the late Jennifer Worth, tells colorful stories of midwifery and families in London’s East End in the 1950s.
Jenny Lee, a young woman raised in the wealthy English countryside, has chosen to become a nurse and now, as a newly qualified midwife, has gone to work in the poorest area of the city. Attached to an order of nursing nuns at Nonnatus House, Jenny is part of a team of women who minister to expectant mothers, many of whom give birth at home in appalling conditions. The drama follows Jenny as she meets her patients and learns to love the people who live in the East End.
Holiday SpecialThis December, see how the holidays play out in London's East End as the nurses and nuns find they must minister to their own newborn while they search for the missing mother. Meanwhile, Jenny hopes to reunite an elderly vagrant with his children, and the antics begin when Chummy plans an ambitious nativity play.
