Call the Midwife - Series 1 DVD

The hit BBC drama series which tells the moving and true-to-life stories of a group of midwives working in London's East End in the 1950s.

Newly-qualified midwife Jenny Lee is the latest arrival at Nonnatus House, a convent in one of the poorest areas of London. Jenny is welcomed by the nuns and befriended by the other midwives - good-time girl Trixie, sensible Cynthia and fellow newcomer, the posh, fish-out-of water, Chummy.

We are introduced to the local community through the eyes of the young nurse as she cycles out to tend to her patients. Although the life that greets Jenny is a world away from what she's used to, she immerses herself in the births, deaths, intrigues and romances of a community she rapidly learns to love.
