BBC - "Call the Midwife"

So I just found out today that they started showing "Call the Midwife" last night and I missed it. I then looked at next Sunday's schedule and they are airing it at 8:00 p.m. instead of the usual 9:00 p.m. How was I to know this? Luckily they are repeating last night's episode at 7:00 pm, then the next episode at 8:00. Very unusual schedule.

Anyone watching this new BBC Series? Supposed to be very good.

It was very good, and doesn't hide the difficulties of pregnancy and childbirth amongst poor women in 1957 London East End. Some of it was icky, like the enema, which i don't think is done much anymore. But the story and acting were great.

Had no idea the East End was so poor...show certainly doesn't sugar coat anything!
