Frances Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Just finished watching. I think it’s my favorite Christmas special after the one in Africa. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

itsheresomewhere Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I loved it. This is one of the few shows, IMO, that really just nail each season/special. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Granny_Weatherwax Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 I caught it with about 15 mins left so I didn't watch. Now I can't find it at all in Upcoming or Available episodes. Can anyone share how you are watching it after it aired? 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

kbutton Posted December 27, 2021 Share Posted December 27, 2021 Wonderful special! We are still quoting it. DH saw only part due to work, but he loved what he was present for. I loved watching Timothy’s face for the various medical scenes. He’s been reading the Lancet and hearing medical chatter forever, but his foray into seeing it firsthand shows the gap between the abstract and concrete with every look on his face! 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
madteaparty Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 This is just new to the US, right? I feel like I watched a recent Christmas special via VPN on itv but maybe there’s more? 🤣 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Farrar Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 It was just as sweet as always. I'm really not one for this sort of sentimental sort of stuff very often, but somehow Call the Midwife gets me every time and I can't find any fault with it. It was lovely to see Lucile's wedding. 2 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
catz Posted December 28, 2021 Share Posted December 28, 2021 (edited) I am a complete sucker for this show too. Always an emotional roller coaster! I feel like I need to wring myself out after I watch it. I loved it! ❤️ Edited December 28, 2021 by FuzzyCatz 4 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Janeway Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 It made me want to buy a copy of Christmas Carol, in hard cover, to read to the kids. I do have copies, but maybe a cool looking copy for Christmas. I was in awe at the end of the show where the little children just sat there, loving the story and listening! 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I thought the regular season episodes were released in the UK before the US, in which case I’ve seen them all, But maybe the Christmas special is released simultaneously. In which case I have a treat in store 😉. Though. Some of their prior Christmas specials were very dark. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Lucy the Valiant Posted December 29, 2021 Share Posted December 29, 2021 I really enjoyed reading the books this series was made from; even though I recognized several of the stories, the non-fiction book version was fascinating and well-written, IMO. (I also loved the Christmas special, and wish I knew Lucille IRL. ❤️ ) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
