Season 6, Episode 4:
Quite moving about the expectant mother who decides to give her baby to her childless cousin.
There was sure a moving father-son time between old man Turner and son.
A new midwife is coming Valerie Dyer who previously appeared two episodes ago and look forward how she goes as a midwife.
Matthew See kisses Karen Gillan and Matthew loves Karen very much.

Season 6, Episode 5:
A very moving episode when Fred’s cousin ivy dies and leaves behind her young adult son Reggie who has Down’s syndrome.
Quite sensitive on how this episode on what is to be done about Reggie before the ultimate solution came at the end.
Quite a shock on seeing Sister Mary Cynthia’s current location and what she was doing there.
The dental storyline was also well handled.

Season 6, Episode 6:
Antepenultimate episode of season 6.
Very good the backdrop of the Cuban Missile Crisis and how everyone is concerned by it.
US President John Kennedy is seen in news broadcast as his presence reflects the seriousness of the said crisis.
I wonder if his assassination will be covered in the next season.
Somewhat satisfying resolution with Sister Mary Cynthia with her moving out of that mental institution and eventually into a more gentler place.
Not bad the case of the woman from Somaliland.

2017 Christmas Special:
Takes place in the winter of 1962-63 in the UK.
Tragic when Valerie delivered a baby who she believed to be stillborn but what a miracle that the baby started crying sometime afterwards.
Looks like this is the last we see of Barbara as she departs with Tom for Birmingham after he got a temporary post there and I quite liked her.

Season 7, Episode 6:
Antepenultimate episode of season 7.
Sad when the patriarch of an Irish family got killed the accident and what his widow had to go through afterwards including escaping from a fire from her newsagent with her kids.
Sad the revelation that leads to a mental asylum.
Harrowing that Barbara may have septicaemia.

Season 7, Episode 7:
Penultimate episode of season 7.
So sad and shocking that Barbara dies from septicaemia.
Certainly overshadowed the other plotlines including teenager at a remand home and his pregnant wife.

Call The Midwife 2018 Christmas Special:
Not bad storyline about the Chinese kids.
Sister Julienne runs for election to be the new Mother Superior.
For a moment it gave the indication that she won only to turn out to be Sister Mildred instead.
This has Jack Shalloo playing Bobby Hollier whose wife is pregnant. Shalloo should know what that feels likes as he had played the pregnant man Yoss in Doctor Who: The Tsuranga Conundrum which came almost two months earlier on November 4 2018.

Season 8, Episode 1:
Season 8 opener.
Not comfortable with the storyline about the model.
Not bad backdrop in which the queen is about to give birth.
I look it up that with this set in 1964, the royal baby in question is Prince Edward.

Season 9, Episode 5:
Nice incorporating The Sound of Music in a time when it was new.
After being accused of being out of touch with ordinary people, Sister Julienne for a little while gets out of her nun’s habit and goes to see The Sound of Music.
Not that I am disrespecting her as a nun but Sister Julienne looks lovely in something other than the nun’s habit but then again Jenny Agutter always looks lovely.

Penultimate episode of season 9.
Moving story about a new mother, who is blind and the challenges she to face in bringing up her new child in light of her blindness and how her sister is concerned with all this.

Season 11, Episode 3:
Quite an unsettling tale about homelessness as we see one man in such a state especially how his body has been worsened by him drinking.
Sister Julienne falls ill and asked Shelagh to take over organising the centenary century of the order's work in Poplar.
Especially keen to find out the surprise that Shelagh had set up for this event.
