Viewers said Sunday nights were “complete” again as Call The Midwife returned.
The eighth series of the much-loved programme about midwives in the East End in the 1960s started on BBC One on Sunday night.
Although a festive special aired at Christmas, the last full run of the popular BBC show ended in March 2018.
So viewers were thrilled to catch up on the action at Nonnatus House.
