It really highlights the advantages of the national health care system in Britain.

[malaise]

after havingso many still born births - thanks to The NHS

Great program - now for Season 2 of Upstairs Downstairs

Fugg WilLIARD Rmoney - I love PBS

[malaise]

Great show.

[dorkzilla]

4. I DVR'd it.

It looked really good and like Miranda Hart-- My local PBS station recently started running her series "Miranda" and it's flipping funny! Looking forward to watching this one too.

7. Welcome to DU!

Like your name..

[malaise]

8. Must look for that one

Thanks

[WorseBeforeBetter]

9. Yep. And the 25th anniversary of Les Mis earlier.

And This Old House -- Cambridge Victorian with Swedish Modern interior.

*Total* PBS-lovin' slug today.

[malaise]

11. Missed both of them

but I must have seen some version of Les Mis at least 25 times.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

12. Ha, ha... agreed. And I get sucked in every time.

And to think I was going to paint one of the bathrooms today. Not!

[malaise]

14. Well I had some stuff to mend today

but had I known Les Mis was on, I would have postponed until next week

[WorseBeforeBetter]

17. I had that to do, too...

made it as far as pulling out the sewing kit and turning the pants inside-out. Productive! I have "Jules and Jim" from Netflix, but think I'm almost teeved out. Today may be a record!

[malaise]

20. Hahahahaha - we all have days like that

I did manage to mend some pillow cases with my ever faithful Singer. I'm waiting for the long weekend for the hand sewing.

[WorseBeforeBetter]

29. Good Lord I just watched Masterpiece Mystery - Wallander.

I'm out of control. OK...TV off. Good luck with the sewing!

[NRaleighLiberal]

10. yes, just did and enjoyed it.

[malaise]

15. It's really good

[Arkansas Granny]

13. Yes, and I'm looking forward to seeing more.

[malaise]

16. Same here

[CurtEastPoint]

19. YES! Another quality PBS/BBC show.

Loved it last week, recording it now.

[malaise]

21. There are so many of them

Sadly by the time Cameron is finished with the BBC quality productions will be few and far between

[lunasun]

25. +1

[Chorophyll]

22. Yes -- love it! nt

[postulater]

23. My wife is a Certified Nurse Midwife. She's looking forward

to watching it when she gets done with her shift.

She'll tell me how realistic it is.

[Blue_In_AK]

24. Is this a fictional drama or something?

All three of my daughters were delivered by midwives (at home). I can't praise them enough.

[malaise]

32. I was born at home

and so were my siblings.

[ananda]

26. Good show

Worth did for postwar midwives
what James Herriot did for vets.

[shengxuan]

[virgogal]

28. Yep---I love it.

[IcyPeas]

30. yes. watching.

life was not easy back in post war east London in the '50s.

but yet people seemed to make the best of it, didn't they?

Chummy!!!

[HipChick]

31. I was born at home, brought into the world by a Midwife...very common in England

till up to a few years ago...
