Call the Midwife Holiday Special

During this year’s festive episode, Mother Mildred and the Nonnatus House team of midwives go to the Outer Hebrides, a remote, idyllic Scottish island, in response to a nursing shortage. Navigating the terrain, they strive to keep up with the needs of the locals. Exposed to the elements, they operate in bleak conditions with limited access to water and electricity to help their patients, just in time to reconvene in Poplar for Christmas.
