Call the Midwife to ‘set pulses racing’ as dashing new doctors join BBC series

Four dashing junior doctors will be joining the new series of Call The Midwife.

And they set some pulses racing in the BBC drama.

Four of the nurses are given one doctor each to shadow them on their baby delivery duties.

Jenny Agutter, who plays Sister Julienne, joked: “It’s rather nice having the young men around.”

Linda Bassett, who is Nurse Phyllis Crane, added: “It changed the dynamic a lot.

"It’s such a female enclave and suddenly there’s men.”

Leonie Elliot, who plays Lucille Anderson, commented: “Each one attaches themselves to one of us!”

And they cause a stir when it comes to the bedrooms.

Jennifer Kirby, who plays Nurse Valerie Dyer, said: “We all have to squish up to accommodate them.”

However Stephen McGann, who plays Dr Patrick Turner, was not impressed with the handsome new arrivals and sniggered: “They’ve picked some very plain young men!”

Elsewhere in the new series, launching in January on BBC One, Nonnatus House is threatened with demolition as town planners pull down the slums.

And issues such as diphtheria, immunisation, cancer and dementia, as well as racism, are covered in plotlines too.
