Synopsis

Watch Call the Midwife (2012) Season 8 online on iFILM: eight episodes that move the story into 1964, when Poplar is changing faster than the Nonnatus nuns can quite keep up.

The contraceptive pill arrives. The Institute opens its first cervical cancer-screening clinic, the looming abortion reform hangs in the air, and a measles vaccination trial runs through the clinic. None of that softens the casework — this run takes on interracial adoption, cleft palate, sickle cell anaemia and cot death. Two new nuns join the house, Valerie meets a shocking case her very first day, and Lucille tries to help an elderly hoarder hold on to her independence. For one of the team, romance is finally on the horizon.

Heidi Thomas keeps writing from the medical record of the decade rather than invented melodrama. Season 8 is about progress reaching a poor district unevenly, and sometimes the hard way. Stream Call the Midwife Season 8 online on iFILM.
