Yes, the events of Sunday night’s episode have absolutely left us feeling more than a little shaken.
has been a staple part of our TV diets ever since the first episode aired on 15 January 2012.
In the episode, we saw lovable handyman Fred land the Sisters in a whole world of trouble with the Board of Health – even if he did do so accidentally. “Nonnatus House is financially inefficient and too dependent on the resources of the Turner practice, which we also have in our sights,” he tells her, citing that both “use dangerous unskilled labour for maintenance” and “are currently only operational because of private charity.”
And, as if that weren’t damning enough to the likes of Sister Monica Joan , Dr Patrick Turner and Nurse Crane – all of whom have earned a black mark next to their names after last week’s gastroenteritis outbreak – Threepwood points out that the Board of Health now has the power to close Nonnatus House “as and when it deems appropriate.”
“They had come to Poplar in 1879, when there was virtually no medical or nursing care, and their dedication and self-sacrifice had saved the lives of thousands of poor women,” Worth writes. Worth goes on to note that, while the nuns closed their midwifery and nursing practice, “they removed to the Mother House, to await God’s calling for work… [and] left quietly and with no fuss. Perhaps only the local clergy and a handful of older people were aware they had gone.”
