We've only got just over two months to wait until Call the Midwife returns this Christmas, and to get fans excited the team has shared some behind-the-scenes footage from filming on the upcoming season 14.

The footage was posted to the show's official social media channels, alongside the message: "So, we sent our trusty social media camera maestro off to the #CallTheMidwife set, to capture some insightful and professional content from our very professional cast behind the scenes on Series 14 filming.

"Insightful, we said. Professional, we said..."

In the footage, stars including Renee Bailey and Stephen McGann can be seen having sing-song, while the cast can also be seen celebrating Megan Cusack's birthday.

Other shots see Cliff Parisi complaining about filming from different angles until it leaves him "spinning around in a mad perpetual circle", and Natalie Quarry is seen dancing through the corridors.

Fans don't yet know much about what's in store for their favourites in this year's Christmas special and the 14th season, but McGann previously teased a mix of "fun" and "darkness" in the festive instalment.

Speaking with RadioTimes.com alongside Rebecca Gethings on the NTAs red carpet, McGann said: "It is all the fun of the fair, and also the normal kind of darkness you would expect with Call the Midwife."

Gethings teased: "There will be tears and laughter, it's heartwarming as always. It's about community, but yeah, they're always tested at Christmas, it's not just about cuddles and Horlicks."

McGann added: "And it's a very special episode, Christmas, for us in our show, and that's the one people particularly respond to.

"I think it comes in as part of the festival and the year, which we're incredibly flattered by, but it makes it that bit more special. Christmas is a special one."

Call the Midwife will return to BBC One at Christmas. Previous seasons are available to stream on BBC iPlayer.
