‘Call the Midwife’ recap: What happened in Season 11 Episode 4?

The eleventh season of Call the Midwife continued in the UK tonight!

Following the recent festive special on Christmas Day, we’re heading back to Poplar this winter for eight brand new episodes.

The BBC’s hit period drama series about a group of nurse midwives in the East End of London first aired in 2012, based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth.

Last year the show celebrated its tenth anniversary and a beautiful new book compiled by Dr Turner actor Stephen McGann, titled A Labour of Love: Ten Years of Call the Midwife, is out in February.

The new season of Call the Midwife will premiere in the US later this year on PBS.

Here’s a plot recap for the fourth episode, which aired on BBC One at 8pm on Sunday 23rd January 2022:

It’s the summer of 1967, and a heatwave descends over Poplar.

Sister Hilda and Dr Turner support a young father with a lung condition, and Trixie takes the lead with a struggling first-time mother.

Cyril continues to search for a new job that will put his civil engineering qualification to use and pay more so he and Lucille can afford a house deposit.

But Lucille receives unexpected news that she must break to him.

Meanwhile, Trixie and Matthew’s relationship is going well, but Trixie wants a little more romance.

Season 10 is available on DVD on Amazon.
