What is the plot for the Call the Midwife series 15
The 15th series will follow up on the recent Christmas special that saw members of the Nonnatus House visit Hong Kong.
The official synopsis for the upcoming series reads: “As the Christmas action shifts between the sun-drenched Far East and a snowy East End, Sister Julienne suddenly finds herself excited about the Order’s future.
“After years of battling change, she decides to embrace it, work with it, and see what love can do.
“This change of energy reverberates throughout series 15. The new series kicks off in 1971 with several of the ladies embracing Women’s Lib and burning their bras outside Nonnatus House.
“As the year unfolds, we see the team handle cases including premature birth, placenta previa, kidney cancer, tuberculosis and slavery.”
Call the Midwife returns on January 11 on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
