I love watching this show because I was born in London in 1960 and my brother was born in 1962. My mother had been living in London for about 5 years at the time. I was born in a hospital, and my brother by a midwife and a partially drunk doctor. The midwife was terrible according to my Australian grandmother who was there for his birth, she said it was more primitive than the births in Australia. My brother's birth was difficult, especially for him, the midwife made a mistake in her assumptions. A lot of women did not see a lovely Trixie, or a sympathetic Jenny or even a stern but experienced Sister Evangelina. I am sure that there were many dedicated and wonderful midwives but there was also some terrible ones.
