A lot to work through there, but as ever it was all impeccably handled by Thomas and her cast. The downside of so much story is it can feel like a thread or character you might warm to gets short shrift. The upside is if you’re less enthused by a particular character or idea, another one is soon on its way.

Newcomer actors brought much-needed fresh blood to a cast that has been lacking oomph after the departures of a few key players, most notably Leonie Elliott’s Lucille. They both have a natural screen magnetism, and made me want to know a lot more about sardonic Trinidadian Joyce and posh, whimsical Rosalind.

[Rosie] Jones's condition was also central to the plot of the returning Call the Midwife. As you would expect from a classy drama series, though, it took a rather more intelligent, humane approach than a bunch of moronic trolls.
