Adam: You’re jealous.

Sam: Jealous?

Adam: That’s why you were being so negative about this.

Sam: That’s absurd. I’m always negative.

Call the Midwife, s14e6

First, an observation: the imagery (i.e., the clothing and hair) in the title sequence is now way out of date! Isn't it time they updated this?

And a general question: What sort of fish is a pilchard? I've never seen the word used in an American context, so I'm assuming that it's British for something I know by some other name: Snapper? Grouper? Tilapia?

"Sweetie" — Trixie "Precious" — Lucille "Honey" — Joyce I've been wondering for years when someone was going to be called on one of these spontaneous endearments for patients (language of a sort the nuns never use, I've noticed), and it's particularly unfortunate that it happened in this context. I was struck by the contrast between Joyce's initially shrugging off a patient's racism and what I strongly suspect would have been a more assertive reaction from Lucille. You'll recall that when Lucille first arrived, she was treated badly by the family of a woman who had a stroke shortly after giving birth. Sister Julienne's response was to try protect Lucille, as she evidently saw it, by sending another nurse in her place, a plan to which Lucille objected quite strongly. This time around, Sister Julienne has to coax the story out out of Joyce (and Sister Catherine) — and is taken by surprise when she learns what happened, meaning that we have yet another continuity issue!

And yes, I'm sorry about Nigel, but sometimes a character has to be sacrificed. (Also, did the actor in question want to retire? That's what happened with Dash in Victoria.)

OK, I've asked this before, and now we really need to decide: what are we going to call them? Cyrilind? Rosaryl?

The show: Okay so this is looking like he was murdered due to being a tax/revenue employee, and someone wanted to keep their moonshine business going.

Me: Yeah but this is Midsomer, so it's probably because someone was doing an infidelity.
