#1 ⁠–⁠ Welcome to Poplar (S1.1)

It's here! We're so excited! This is a recap and discussion of the first episode of season one of Call the Midwife. In this episode, newly licensed midwife Jenny Lee comes to Poplar, in London's East End, to start a new career and a new life. We accidentally call Sister Evangelina "Evangelista" a bunch of times. Call it nerves over a new show. Don't worry, we won't keep doing that, no need to correct us!
