Enter Mother Mildred (Miriam Margolyes), sweeping into Poplar like a whirlwind wrapped in a wimple. She is the antidote to the gloom—loud, pragmatic, and surprisingly tender. Margolyes brings a chaotic warmth that feels desperately needed. She doesn’t try to replace Sister Evangelina; she simply reminds the team that the work must go on. "The world doesn't stop breaking because our hearts are bruised," she seems to say.

The 2020 Christmas special of Call the Midwife — often indexed as Season 10, Episode 0 — arrived as the kind of warm, bittersweet holiday drama the series does best: intimate human stories set against broader social change, shot through with compassion and gentle moral clarity. For long-time fans who had missed the comforting hum of Nonnatus House, the special offered reunion, reflection, and a reminder of why this show remains a British television treasure.
