“Call of the Midwife” Christmas Special Airing on Christmas & A “Vicious” Episode Follows! @CallTheMidwife1 @Vicious

See the tall lady in the back? That is Miranda Hart. She also had a comedy show in Britain. I love her!

CALL THE MIDWIFE HOLIDAY SPECIAL includes a guest appearance from show narrator Vanessa Redgrave. The actress will appear as the mature Jennifer Worth on screen for the first time. The special will lead the way to the fourth season of the hit drama, which returns to PBS on March 29, 2015, at 8:00 p.m. ET. The holiday episode begins with a mature Jennifer at home in the early 21st century, opening her Christmas cards from both Cynthia and the Order of St Raymond Nonnatus. She reflects on the Christmases of her youth, and how much she missed the Nonnatus community during the first Christmas after her departure. Back at the Nonnatus House in 1959, the holidays have brought big changes for the midwives and the nuns. Cynthia is invited to join the order as a postulant, and after malpractice is uncovered at the York Lodge, Chummy is offered the permanent position of matron. With the New Year and a new decade approaching, what will the women choose and what will 1960 bring?

Following a new CALL THE MIDWIFE HOLIDAY SPECIAL (2014) on Thursday, December 25, VICIOUS completes a block of British programming to celebrate Christmas Day. VICIOUS “Holiday Special” brings the gang back together, with Freddie (Ian McKellen) and Stuart (Derek Jacobi) hosting a holiday soiree in their small central London flat. Ash (Iwan Rheon, “Game of Thrones”), their young upstairs neighbor, has volunteered to cook the meal, their feisty best friend Violet (Frances de la Tour, Harry Potter and the Deathly Hallows) is up to her old tricks, and a wicked game of Truth or Dare brings up hidden truths —and surprises as well.
