What is Call the Midwife series 11 about?
Call the Midwife series 11 begins from the year 1967 and will no doubt cover some important storylines involving local families welcoming babies. However, the show doesn't shy away from covering wider societal issues. For example, the year 1967 saw the Abortion Act passed, legalising abortions on certain grounds in the United Kingdom.
The synopsis for episode one of series 11 reads: "It's Easter 1967, and celebrations are underway for a colourful Easter bonnet parade outside Nonnatus House.
"Sister Monica Joan and Reggie are excited about the Eurovision song contest, while Cyril and Lucille settle into blissful married life. After taking some time away following the death of their newborn son, Derek and Audrey Fleming return to Poplar with good news - Audrey is pregnant again." Sounds action packed!
