Memories

This episode was very special to me.

The story-line about Tuberculosis was very close to my heart. At the age of fourteen in 1966 I had the BCG test. Whilst all my friends marks disappeared in a week mine came up a few millimeters and bright yellow !

The doctor sent me for an X ray and I was told I couldn't play football for a while which was music to my football hating ears.

To see the scene with the school children waiting in line for the test brought the whole thing flooding back. It took me 2 years to fully recover taking 6 pills the size of horse pills every day during that time. I can swallow anything now.

It's great that they can tackle a lot of the problems we had in the 50/60s. Just when I was beginning to think this series was getting too stale, it's not.

How old is Jonty ?????!!!!!

Matthew and Trixie are an annoying couple. I just don't care about their problems. There are other things going on around them that are far more important. Trixie didn't even stay at her post as long as she should have. Matthew who I have liked is becoming elitist again. Shouldn't that kid of his be bigger and older by now?

I like the new training midwives and how they support each other. The focus onTB was so heartbreaking. The family is so kind and humble . You just want the best for them .

Love that Nancy got the answers she needed.

The focus on the moon landing added an uplifting element to the episode. I love how much they were all excited about it.

This episode would be ranked a 10 if not for the Trixie and Mathew nonsense.

How do you solve a problem like Trixie?

What do you do about Trixie, eh?

She's run her course, let's be honest here. She started as the bubbly fun loving one, but now life seems to have become a chore. She's become the 'Heartbeat' Phil Bellamy of 'Call the Midwife'. A former stalwart that's simply become part of the furniture.

This whole 'her marriage is on the rocks and she messes up at work' plot here doesn't play out well, and Helen George seems bored.

I think I'm heading the same way with this show. It seems to be on repeat, with variations of the same plot going around and around.

But hey, at least they didn't try to kill of a regular this week.
