Call the Midwife - Series 1 DVD

The hit BBC drama series which tells the moving and true-to-life stories of a group of midwives working in London's East End in the 1950s. Newly-qualified midwife Jenny Lee is the latest arrival at Nonnatus House, a convent in one of the poorest areas of London. Jenny is welcomed by the nuns and befriended by the other midwives – good-time girl Trixie, sensible Cynthia and fellow newcomer, the posh, fish-out-of water, Chummy. We are introduced to the local community through the eyes of the young nurse as she cycles out to tend to her patients. Although the life that greets Jenny is a world away from what she’s used to, she immerses herself in the births, deaths, intrigues and romances of a community she rapidly learns to love.“Jenny Agutter, Miranda Hart, Pam Ferris and newcomer Jessica Raine are all superb.” The Guardian “Some of the most moving acting shown on prime time for many years ...a terrific drama” Daily Telegraph “Utterly winning ...A drama to answer all our prayers" Sunday Times
