Why is Call The Midwife not on tonight? BBC delay series finale leaving fans annoyed

Much to the annoyance and disappointment of Call The Midwife fans, the series finale of the much loved drama won't air on Sunday night, as the BBC move it to make way for the BAFTAs.

After millions sat comfortably on their sofas to enjoy the 90 minute festive special on Christmas Day, series 12 of Call The Midwife kicked off in January and there has been plenty of drama to digest over the last six weeks, including a hard-hitting racism storyline, hung on Enoch Powell's infamous 1960s speech, the nuns of Nonnatus House being told that the Health Board could close them down and a teenage pregnancy plot, with Helen George's character Trixie Franklin at the centre of the action.

Trixie will play a huge part in the Call The Midwife finale as she marries Matthew, although Helen has hinted that things don't run smoothly for the couple before they head up the altar.
