We could have called this if we'd been living under a rock, but congrats to Jessica Raine and co all the same!The Radio Times have today confirmed the commissioning of a fourth season of the BBC's period drama Call The Midwife. Set in the midst of the Second World War, the series focuses on a band of British midwives who must deal with an all-manner of unlikely cases of pregnancy whilst encountering romance, legal disputes and other challenges along the way.
At the heart of Midwife's appeal lies its stellar central cast, and nothing's changed on that front as its first three seasons have progressed. An Adventure In Space And Time's Jessica Raine, Miranda's Miranda Hart and Cemetery Junction's Bryony Hannah are just a select few of the consistently remarkable actresses who headline the show, and it's a safe bet that the vast majority of them will reprise their much-loved roles next year. The Radio Times weren't able to reveal whether a third Christmas Special was in the works for the programme to broadcast later this year, yet the strong ratings for the show's previous festive outings alongside the Beeb's other high-rating seasonal specials (Doctor Who, Mrs Brown's Boys and Strictly) indicates that its return to a Christmas Day slot will be all-but-guaranteed.
Call The Midwife continues on BBC One this Sunday, March 2nd and will be back for a fourth season of medical hijinks in January 2015.
