Get a Sneak Peek at the 'Call the Midwife' 2018 Christmas Special
The holidays are approaching, which can only mean one thing – it’s time for the very important festive tradition that is the Call the Midwife Christmas special!
While last year’s holiday story dramatized the Big Freeze of 1962, this year’s will focus on the arrival of a group of child refugees from China.
Miriam Margolyes – probably best known to Americans as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter movies – will be appearing in the Christmas special as the forthright and indefatigable Sister Mildred. She arrives unexpectedly at Nonnatus House along with four Chinese orphans. Having fled China, the children were found abandoned in Hong Kong and are being adopted in the UK as part of the World Refugee Project.
