The latest instalment saw Nonnatus House care for a struggling first-time mother and a young father who survived Auschwitz.
WATCH: Did you enjoy episode four?
While most fans enjoyed the moving episode, some were distracted by the "obvious" social distancing regulations. One person took to Twitter, writing: "God the more I watch this programme and the really obvious covid distancing, the more annoyed I get #CallTheMidwife," while another added: "Hate the social distancing in Call the Midwife! Give Lucille a hug! #CallTheMidwife."
Other fans felt the social distancing was more noticeable in scenes between Trixie and Matthew, with one person writing: "Trixie walking four feet behind her date because social distancing," while another added: "My theory is that Trixie and Matthew will be fully romantic and close in the next season once social distancing isn't a thing anymore."
