'Call the Midwife' Recap: Season 11 Episode 1
Welcome back to an all-new season of Call the Midwife! It’s the spring of 1967, Easter has just been celebrated, and new beginnings abound in Poplar. Lucille and her hubby Cyril have settled nicely into married life in their apartment above the newsagent's shop. If you want to revisit their holiday wedding from the 2021 Christmas special, our recap has you covered.
Much of Poplar is abuzz about the U.K’s entry in the Eurovision Song Contest: “Puppet on a String” by Sandie Shaw. (The song did win that year, by the way.) Violet Buckle has decorated her haberdashery shop with flags, a microphone, and a marionette. Reggie’s birthday party is almost ruined when the family TV goes bust, but Sister Julienne acquiesces and invites everyone to watch the “frivolous event” on the Nonnatus set.
Nancy Corrigan (Megan Cusack) is now a full-fledged midwife after passing her exams. She’s earning a wage and has plans in a year or two to get a place for her and her daughter Colette (Francesca Fullilove). Currently, Colette is staying with a foster family and still believes Nancy is her sister. The young girl isn’t settling in well at her new school, so Nancy decides it’s time to tell her the truth.
