It's December 1966, and good tidings are in the air. Following a long engagement, Lucille and Cyril are excited about their upcoming nuptials and can't wait to get married on Boxing Day. However, as the day approaches, nothing seems to run smoothly, and the wedding ceremony itself is put in jeopardy.

Nancy focuses on her final midwifery examinations, it is all hands on deck as the Nonnatus team prepare for what will inevitably be a busy Christmas. The maternity home is filled with expectant mums-to-be, each with their own challenging case.

It's Easter 1967, and celebrations are underway. Sister Monica Joan and Reggie are excited about the Eurovision song contest, while Cyril and Lucille settle into blissful married life. Derek and Audrey Fleming return to Poplar with good news - Audrey is pregnant again. During demolition work at a nearby tenement block, the builders make a shocking discovery.

Trixie and Sister Frances put their training into action as they join Dr Turner at the monthly cytology clinic, which is attracting a high number of patients for a routine cervical smear test. While there, Sister Frances examines a newly married woman who presents some troubling symptoms.

It's June 1967, and the Order of St Raymond Nonnatus are celebrating a very special milestone birthday. It has been 100 years since the Order first arrived in Poplar. When Sister Julienne is unable to organise the celebrations, Shelagh brings the community together for what will be a joyous occasion.

It's the summer of 1967, and a heatwave descends over Poplar. Sister Hilda and Dr Turner support a young father with a lung condition, and Trixie takes the lead with a struggling first-time mother. Meanwhile, Trixie and Matthew's relationship is going well, but Trixie wants a little more romance.

Sister Hilda runs a tight ship, and Shelagh has joined the team to ease their busy workload. Lucille prepares for her first day back at work but is clearly not coping well, despite the support of the team.

An unforeseen event in Poplar means that Nonnatus House suffers its biggest threat yet. But this time it's not the bricks and mortar that are in danger - it's the people.

Nonnatus House faces its darkest day after a tragic incident in the heart of Poplar. As the community rallies together, the team must overcome personal anguish to help the injured.
