BBC’s Call the Midwife: Where babies used to come from

IT’S been an emotional morning for the cast of Call The Midwife. Firstly, they were greeted with the happy news that Ben Caplan, who plays PC Noakes in the nostalgic nursing drama, spent the previous day in hospital, while his wife gave birth to their second child.

“The midwives were amazing for what they did,” says Caplan, who works closely with Miranda Hart in the well-loved series. Hart plays his frightfully posh but all round good egg of a wife, Chummy.

“It adds to my respect for the show we make, for celebrating the midwives and what they do, because they do an amazing job,” he says.
