‘The residents of Poplar are preparing for Christmas while Fred (Cliff Parisi) and Violet (Annabelle Apsion) get ready to fly to Hong Kong to visit her son. On arrival and carrying parcels for the sisters, they head to the Hong Kong Branch House but immediately spot that a large building has collapsed in a landslide and it appears there are casualties.
Back home, Sister Hilda (Fenella Woolgar) confirms the news and a rescue mission is hastily organised. A team from Nonnatus make emergency plans to head out to Hong Kong.’
The new season of ‘Call the Midwife’ will premiere in the UK on Sunday 11th January.
