CALL The Midwife fans will be left disappointed if they were planning to tune in this Sunday, as the drama has been moved off the BBC schedule.
Call the Midwife, which typically airs on a Sunday evening on BBC One, will be moved for a couple of weeks meaning viewers will need to wait a few weeks to catch up.
The BAFTAs will see the show move on Sunday 16th February and leave fans waiting to watch the penultimate episode.
This happened last year too, with the season 13 finale moved out too.
Fans can still watch the midwives in Poplar this week, with the drama set to show Joyce facing a difficult situation when a mother suffers postnatal complications, while a council strike leads to an outbreak of Weil’s disease, and Cyril finds his life turned upside down.
Whilst viewing is interrupted in a few weeks, Call the Midwife will return on Sunday 23rd February at 8pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer.
This series has already proved a popular hit with viewers, yet fans have been left fearing for show star after ‘disappearing’ from the new series.
Timothy Turner was last seen as he departed Popular for medical school in 2021.
He briefly returned to screens in 2023 for the show’s Christmas special but hasn’t been back since.
Timothy has been a part of Call the Midwife since series two, and viewers have seen him grow from a boy into a young man.
Show boss Heidi Thomas recently revealed the future of the hit after 14 years on screens.
Despite pulling in millions of viewers for the Beeb, Heidi revealed fans constantly assume the show will eventually have to end. However, she reckons Call the Midwife can continue to run and run.
It’s not just the BBC that’s shaking up its schedule either as ITV has also made changes to its typical schedule, with Coronation Street bumped off air for coverage of the Six Nations Championship.
In a further shakeup, Friday’s episode has been axed again as ITV dedicate almost three hours of their schedule to the FA Cup.
Call The Midwife: A breakdown
Call The Midwife first came onto the airwaves in 2012 and has been seen by millions. But what is it about?
Series one: Set in early 1957 and it explored the ‘Baby Boom generation, which included themes of poverty and post-war immigration.
Series two: Set in 1958 and it showed gas and air being introduced for pain relief for the first time. It ended with the Nonnatus House building being condemned.
Series three: Set in 1959 and it depicted gruesome conditions such as cystic fibrosis, polio and it showed the midwives in the context on prisons.
Series four: Set in 1960 under the threat of nuclear warfare and the emergency response guidelines issued by the local Civil Defence Corp. Other themes included LGBT rights, and syphilis.
Series five: Set in 1961 and it shows the care of patients with conditions such as Typhoid and strokes. We also saw the effects of thalidomide, the introduction of the contraceptive pill.
Series six: Set in 1962 and domestic violence was at the centre of the season. Other themes included FGM (female genital mutilation), mental health issues and interracial marriage. It was also notable for the introduction of Reggie, a recurring character with Down Syndrome.

Series nine: Diptheria was at the centre of the ninth instalment in 1965, and it was notable for featuring a blind expectant mother. But the role of Nonnatus House within the community also came into question.
Series ten: Set in 1966, Nonnatus House has a rival in the form of the private Lady Emily Clinic in Mayfair. PKU, diabetes and the controversy surrounding abortion were central themes.
Series eleven: Set in 1967 amid the housing crisis and a scabies epidemic. The show was rocked by a train crash right next to Nonnatus House.
