Christmas is only days away when an unexploded bomb turns up in Poplar, and the nuns, midwives and neighbours of Nonnatus House see their festive plans thrown up in the air. It's the second Christmas visit to 1950s East London, with all the warmth, nattering and tea you'd expect, plus the odd scare to keep everyone on their toes. Call the Midwife is made for Christmas Day: kind hearts, big feelings and a good cry on the sofa. Not one for the smallest children, but a proper comfort watch for the grown-ups, with a plate of something sweet in your lap.
