PBS Call The Midwife Swag Bag #Giveaway




PBS transports viewers back to East London on the eve of the Swinging Sixties when the British drama CALL THE MIDWIFE returns to PBS for a third season on March 30, 2014, at 8:00 p.m. ET. Also debuting that night is the second season of MASTERPIECE CLASSIC “Mr. Selfridge,” starring Jeremy Piven, at 9:00 p.m. Joining the lineup on April 13 is the second season premiere of British murder mystery THE BLETCHLEY CIRCLE at 10:00 p.m.

The third season of CALL THE MIDWIFE, which premiered to a record-breaking audience of 9.6 million viewers in the UK, opens in 1959 as the winds of change are sweeping through the country. Throughout the season, viewers will follow the joys and heartbreak of the midwives as they continue to care for members of the Poplar community and face management changes at Nonnatus House.

Based on the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth, CALL THE MIDWIFE was created and written by Heidi Thomas (“Cranford,” “Upstairs Downstairs”) and directed by a line-up of female directors including Thea Sharrock (“The Hollow Crown: Henry V”) and Juliet May (“Miranda,” “Scott and Bailey,” “Stella”). The first season was the biggest new drama on BBC One in more than a decade, and the second season averaged a consolidated viewership of more than 10 million in the U.K. CALL THE MIDWIFE completed its second season run in the U.S. in May 2013, and audiences and critics in the U.S. were equally effusive, with Season 2 breaking the top ten spot in ratings on PBS, scoring 58 percent above the 2012-2013 season-to-date primetime average, and claiming the title of Top Rated Drama on Amazon.com.

CALL THE MIDWIFE stars Jessica Raine as Jenny Lee, along with Jenny Agutter (“The Railway Children,” “Spooks”) as Sister Julienne, Pam Ferris (“Little Dorrit,” “Darling Buds of May”) as Sister Evangelina, Miranda Hart (“Miranda”) as Chummy, Judy Parfitt (“Little Dorrit,” Girl With a Pearl Earring), who was nominated for a 2013 Satellite Award for her work as Sister Monica Joan, Helen George (“Hollyoaks,” “Doctors”) as Trixie Franklin, Bryony Hannah (Cemetery Junction) as Cynthia Miller, Laura Main (“Monarch of the Glen”) as Shelagh and Cliff Parisi (“EastEnders”) as Fred. Vanessa Redgrave provides the voice of the mature Jenny.

CALL THE MIDWIFE (Season 3) full episodes will be available for viewing on the PBS Video Portal for a limited time after each national broadcast.

CALL THE MIDWIFE contains mature content that may not be suitable for all audiences. Viewer discretion is advised. Rated TV-14.
