Call the Midwife Christmas Special first look sends fans reeling as filming starts

Fans of Call The Midwife have been left delighted after BBC bosses shared a very festive photo from the set as filming gets going on the new series and Christmas special.

While it has always been both compelling and heart warming viewing since its debut a decade ago, the last series saw the drama go up a few notches, with its penultimate episode giving the programme its most tense cliff hanger to date as Stephen McGann and Jenny Agutter's much loved characters Sister Julienne and Doctor Turner were involved in a train crash.

Credits rolled as the main protagonists were left looking on in horror as their carriage careered off the tracks after the driver suffered a medical emergency at the wheel. BBC viewers' hearts were left in their mouths, as they were kept waiting a week to see if both survived.
