Call the Midwife
Cynthia’s district nursing rounds find her administering daily insulin injections to diabetic John Lacey, a deplorable bully who consistently belittles his wife Annie. A visit from Annie’s beloved son Bob, and moral support from Cynthia, see Annie gaining confidence and start to turn her life around.
Jenny’s work leads her to witness persecution of a different variety, when she looks after a black mother to be, Monique, who is subjected to racial prejudice from her neighbours.

Funded by the success of the Summer Fete, Nonnatus House takes ownership of a scooter to help with their rounds. Fred undertakes to teach the midwives how to ride, with amusing and unforeseen consequences. The whole community are thrilled when Chummy and Peter return home from Sierra Leone with a surprise of their own.

Cynthia is played by Bryony Hannah, John Lacey by Warren Clarke, Annie Lacey by Nicola Sloane, Bob Lacey by Nick Hendrix, Jenny by Jessica Raine, Monique Hyde by Velile Tshablala, Fred by Cliff Parisi, Chummy by Miranda Hart and Peter by Ben Caplan
