Nothing scheduled
Is it for me?
Cosy period drama for people who want to cry a little and feel better for it, without the story ever going soft on poverty. Sister Monica Joan, absent-minded and forever hunting sweets, gets the laughs, and Judy Parfitt plays her with total conviction. A foggy night call to a home birth for a mother expecting her 25th child shows how hard the work is.
Before you start
Each series comes with a Christmas special; the first three follow Jennifer Worth's memoirs closely, and later ones turn toward the regular cast's own lives.
