Another well-written story of the nuns and midwives of Nonnatus House in Poplar. The election of a new Mother Superior for the order means that all the sisters in religion are required to stay at the mother house in Chichester for a while. As in all things they are under obedience, which means that Sister Julienne is elected a Superior she will never return to Poplar and her duties there. It is clear thatcher own personal will would be to return to Poplar but by her profession she has subsumed her will to God and the order.

The working out of this story I shall not relate but in my opinion it is sensitively treated, with understanding of the twin calls on Sister Julienne : her vocation in religion and her medical calling.

Meanwhile back in Poplar Sister Monica Joan takes upon herself to look after the chapel and maintain the horarium, and the work of the midwives continues ....

Really enjoyed this Christmas episode. Bringing the truth about Asian refugees dated back in the late 60s early 70s. Emotion ran high. Well done to this story line.

I have watched every episode and loved every one. This may not be the shining best but it is very good and heartwarming

Yes, I love this show but this episode was dreadful. 8 different stories attempted to be told in an hour and a half, two of which were totally irrelevant to the main plot. Hope the next episode will be up to their usual standard.
