Airdate: Call the Midwife Christmas Special

Call the Midwife‘s 2019 Christmas Special will screen on Boxing Day on BBC First in Australia, a day after the UK.

Coincidentally that pits it head to head with the 2018 Christmas Special on ABC.

The new season also comes express to BBC First from January 6.

This year’s Christmas special will see the team take their work to the Outer Hebrides. Led by Mother Mildred, they embark on a trip to the remote yet idyllic Scottish island, where residents have a desperate need for nurses and midwives. Exposed to the elements, they operate in bleak conditions with limited access to water and electricity to help their patients, just in time to reconvene in Poplar for Christmas.

8:30pm Thursday on BBC First.
