With the recent advent of Season 10 in the US, it's time to celebrate CallTheMidwife: here are 4 reasons it remains one of TV's most comforting dramas
The words “cozy” and “comfort” may not be what immediately come to mind about a drama revolving around midwives and nuns birthing babies and helping people who live in abject poverty in post-war East London.
Vanessa Redgrave narrates the series as the voice of Jenny Lee, who looks back at these events from her elder years. The show was inspired by Jennifer Worth’s true-life book series, and though actress Jessica Raine left the series after Season 3, Redgrave’s narration continues to document the happenings of Nonnatus House. And from there, for an hour, we’re transported to a quieter time when there was just one house phone, if at all.
That doesn’t mean it’s not deeply emotional, though; the show’s music can often induce Kleenex moments, with popular songs of the day playing during montages or orchestral scores augmenting an intense moment.
There’s also Nonnatus House handyman Fred , who was born in this tough part of London, lived through the war, and lost a wife in the Blitz. But he eventually finds love again and adopts a son, Reggie , who has Down’s Syndrome.

More than 80 Greenpeace activists blocked the entrance to Shell's oil refinery in the Dutch port of Rotterdam to draw attention to the launch of the European Citizens' Initiative calling for the advertising ban. Activists used floating cubes emblazoned with fossil fuel-linked advertisements to block the entrance, along with the protest ship Beluga II, with the words “Ban Fossil Fuel Advertising” strung between its two masts.
