Fans react to Call the Midwife’s emotional season finale

Following the conclusion of series 14 last night, fans took to social media to praise the long-running BBC show. Putting it simply a fan said: “bawling.”

One wrote: “What an episode, I blubbed through most of it, the most wonderful mix of happy and sad, this is just the best programme ever, it never fails to engage everyone, but how I felt for Reggie with the local bullies, the baby, the wedding the everything, I miss it already.”

Another added: “I watched Call The Midwife in tears tonight as I remembered when in 1960 my unmarried 16 year old sister was sent to a catholic mother and baby home to have a baby that was to be adopted. At the last minute my parents decided that she could bring the baby home as our sister/niece.”
