Get Your First Look at the 'Call the Midwife' 2020 Holiday Special
In the midst of a difficult, heartbreaking year, one thing can be counted upon: The comforting coziness of Call the Midwife. Perhaps it's simply that 2020 has been such a struggle for so many, but it truly feels like the ladies of Nonnatus House are welcome family members arriving precisely when we need them with a heaping dose of holiday cheer.
The holiday installment will once again broadcast on December 25 in both the U.K. and the U.S. and will feature a visit from the circus - as well as a special guest. Former Doctor Who star Peter Davison will play Mr. Percival, the ringmaster of Percival’s Circus, a traveling group that arrives in the East End neighborhood of Poplar just in time for the festive season.
This year’s episode is set in December 1965. Everyone at Nonnatus House is looking forward to traditional celebrations with all the trimmings, but nothing goes quite to plan. Sister Monica Joan is rushed to the hospital, and Trixie is incensed to receive a subscription to a Marriage Bureau as a Christmas gift.
