Complete seasons 3 of BBC period drama TV series Call the Midwife on DVD (3 discs).

Call the Midwife follows Nurse Jenny Lee and the midwives and nuns of Nonnatus House as they work to provide the best possible care to the expectant mothers of Poplar. Series 3 is set in 1959, and shows Jenny facing some tough personal and professional challenges. There are changes too for Chummy, as she settles into motherhood and for Sister Bernadette – now known as Shelagh as she prepares to marry Dr Turner. At Christmas, when an unexploded World War II bomb is discovered under a warehouse close to Nonnatus House, the nuns and dozens of local families find themselves homeless. Later, Dr Turner faces a race against time to immunise local children against polio, and when a Royal visitor comes to the East End, Chummy persuades them to open the new Community Centre. A fascinating portrayal of birth, life, death and a community on the brink of huge social change, Call the Midwife continues to offer a gripping insight into a world that is so drastically different from how we live now.

Call the Midwife Series Reviews

“Their stories are always engaging, not only because midwifery as it was practiced in the '50s is so interesting, but also because the midwives themselves are fully realized characters.” PopMatters

“It's nice to see the writers stay on topic, and it actually makes the forays into tough territory that much more interesting. If you like healthy doses of both comedy and drama in one helping, than Call the Midwife is a great show to be on board for.” CinemaBlend.com

“Call the Midwife is both historically unsparing-the grim realities of poverty drive most episodes-and gorgeously hopeful.” Los Angeles Times

“It might be a bit obvious sometimes, but its warm, open tone, its friendly, empathic treatment of its characters and its life-and-death subject matter all come together to make for something unique.” Huffington Post
