"Shelagh feels caught in the middle of their conflict, while Trixie is delighted by the opportunity of working at the new clinic.

"Sister Monica Joan's crisis of faith continues to trouble her, a baby is born with no legs below the knees, and Lucille helps Cyril find the perfect accommodation that will benefit him and the Church."

Will there be another season of Call The Midwife?

Call The Midwife has indeed been renewed for season 11, which will commence filming soon.

Speaking about the news, creator Heidi Thomas said: "It’s an incredible privilege to be able to look back on a decade of Call The Midwife, and yet know that our journey is still very far from over. We are thrilled to be going on for a few more years!

"Like Nonnatus House itself, we have a proud past but an even more exciting future – full of old favourites, fresh faces, higher hemlines, new ideas. The stories we tell are like babies – they never stop coming, we love them all, and we vow to do our best by every single one."
