Call the Midwife, final episode, BBC One, review Nothing was as it seemed at Nonnatus House though: Cathy, a young girl (played by Coronation Street's Tina O'Brien), unexpectedly gave birth to not one, not two, but three bundles of joy. The bland nurse Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine) was revealed to have been seeing a married man. And the convent's stalwart, the wilfully eccentric Sister Monica Joan (an outstanding Judy Parfitt), was arrested and sent to court for theft when some precious jewels were found stashed away in her bedroom. But she hadn't stolen them, not really. Her fading memory had just forgotten about them. Stern Sister Evangelina (Pam Ferris) might not have been amused, but the viewer could certainly be tickled by their playful exchange: "Are you trying to summon up a fart?" said Sister Monica Joan. "No Sister, I'm praying for strength," Evangelina replied. And so with the gentle predictability that "it'll turn out alright in the end," the programme neatly tied up its assorted subplots and finished on a rather sentimental end quote from narrator Vanessa Redgrave as the mature Jenny. "I did it for love," she proclaimed as young Jenny stared into the distance after giving in to the advances of local lad Jimmy. The show's soaring popularity, which prompted a second series to be commissioned within days of its record-breaking viewing figures being announced, has taken many people by surprise. And along with that 10million-strong congregation, I will probably be back in the habit when the new series is delivered next year.
