This Call The Midwife collection features the complete season one, two and three together with both Christmas specials.

In season one Jenny Lee gets her first job at Nonnatus House which she soon realises is a nursing convent and not a hospital, as she had assumed. As she begins caring for patients, she gradually becomes accustomed to her new environment, making friends with fellow midwives Cynthia, Trixie and the clumsy Chummy. < P> In season two, it's 1958, and while Jenny has her hands full dealing with an abused patient, Trixie and Sister Evangelina are forced to board a Swedish cargo ship to tend to the captain's pregnant daughter. In the Christmas special, the discovery of an abandoned baby on the convent's doorstep proves to be a catalyst as the community come together to try to trace the child's mother. Elsewhere, Jenny finds herself drawn into the mystery surrounding elderly local woman Mrs Jenkins, while Chummy is determined to stage an unforgettable nativity play.

Season three sees Chummy, PC Noakes and baby Freddy back in the East End; Sister Bernadette - now known as Shelagh since leaving the convent - preparing for her wedding to Dr Turner; and Jenny facing some tough personal and professional challenges. At Christmas, when an unexploded World War II bomb is found under a warehouse close to Nonnatus House, the nuns and dozens of local families find themselves homeless. Later, Dr Turner finds himself in a race against time to immunise children against polio, and when a Royal visitor comes to the East End, Chummy persuades them to open the new Community Centre.

The fascinating portrayal of birth, life, death and a community on the brink of huge social change, Call The Midwife continues to offer a gripping insight into a world that is so drastically different from how we live now.
