But fans shouldn't be too disappointed as back in February 2023, it was confirmed that Call the Midwife would be returning for seasons 14 and 15, news which creator and writer Heidi Thomas was "overjoyed" by.

"Call the Midwife is the pride and joy of all who work on it, but it's our fantastic, loyal audience that matters most," she said.

"We are a family behind the scenes, on the screen, and in front of the telly, and I'm thrilled that we're all heading into the 1970s together."

With two more episodes to go in the current season, there is plenty for the midwives to get stuck into, across their professional and personal lives.

"It is 1970, the beginning of a new decade in Poplar," reads the official synopsis.

"The start of the series sees the usual routines of clinics and district work plunged into disarray when activists on the Isle of Dogs stage a bid for independence and blockade the only access to the island.

"Dr Turner and the midwives must try to continue business as usual."

Elsewhere, Nancy has some big news for her Nonnatus House family, "Trixie is back from New York and back in uniform", and "Sister Julienne discusses her recent meeting with the Board of Health".

Cyril and Rosalind are also drawn back into one another's orbit and the midwives receive some joyous news.
