Call The Midwife Season 8 – UK Region
DVD Wholesale Quick Overview:
The series began in the 50s and now addresses British midwifery of the 1960s. Historical drama with comedy relief with so much excellence it deserves 6 STARS. Speaking of stars, this show had made stars of many of the cast. After 8 seasons, you know it has to be good. Originally adapted from a book, but having gone so long, the new stories are not adaptations but “based on” tales. Still, all good. Each offers glimpses into the historical past of the era. Season 8 was powerful. Can’t wait for the next.
This is so cleanly done you can invite the pastor over for an episode. The only nudity is newborns. I have purchased every season as they appeared available on DVD. Our house continues to watch the old DVD along with the new. Our Doctor friend, took one of our copies on a Haiti mission trip to show contemporary midwife trainees.
Love the show! Nothing I do not like about it. Was glad to find it here because we moved about 8 months ago and we are presently unable to get PBS, the channel which airs the show. Hoping to get some help with our reception, because we are missing the only really good TV channel. PBS is the only consistently good channel on television, except for a couple of local channels which broadcast the old shows from 40 – 50 years ago.
Yes “Call the Midwife” is an excellent show, which keeps up with the times of the early 1960s in Britain, referencing not only Medical Care in “Poplar” (London’s East End) but the changing times of the 1960s. The characters are endearing and maddening. The guest stars are excellent.
