Ask The Midwife Christmas Special

[grumpy01]

Just watching this on catch up T.V..As usual all the believable characters are there but what value Miriam Margolyes character brings to the programme escapes me.

I watched it but didn’t enjoy it as much as I usually do. Don’t like MM anyway, and did think it got silly in parts.
New series starting in January. We shall see.

[grumpy01]

Hellywelly, I think, sadly,that it may just have run out of steam and they are now struggling for storylines.

Don't like M M. She can be foul-mouthed and rude which I don't find funny

[Apc2604]

I agree about MM Elliemay. Another good reason not to watch. To be honest after a couple of years I found it really boring, much the same as Heartbeat and other very mundane Sunday evening series. It was past its sell by date quite a while ago in my opinion.

[Cloverjo]

Yep. I enjoyed it when it was based on Jenny’s (supposed) memoirs. Since then they’ve made up more ‘issues’ and it became quite ridiculous. I haven’t watched it for a number of years. Is Trixie an alcoholic, or did she get over that to make way for the next problem?

[albaqwerty]

Jo, she went away for treatment which happily coincided with the actress going on maternity leave :-)

Haven't watched it for ages - seems to have lost its magic.

I agree, ah wench. No where near as good as was a couple of years ago.

[Mamyalynne]

I too enjoyed the early ones much better but still watch it for what it is - on the whole I think they handle issues reasonably well.

I like MM but I agree, I found this years Xmas offering a bit boring. Will still watch the new series though.
