Call the Midwife tackles tuberculosis outbreak in episode 4 first look
An exclusive first-look clip sees Dr Turner and Sister Veronica setting up a clinic to test local school children for TB.
This week's episode of Call the Midwife is set to see Dr Turner and Sister Veronica running a clinic to test children from local schools for tuberculosis, so they can asses which of them can be given the BCG vaccine.
RadioTimes.com has an exclusive first-look clip from the episode, which sees the clinic getting up and running - although Dr Turner and Sister Veronica seem to be stepping on each other's toes somewhat.
As the children from two different schools start to argue and fight, the duo have to split them up, before explaining the procedure and what it will mean for each of them.
