Call the Midwife's February 16 Episode Postponed for BAFTA Awards

The popular drama 'Call the Midwife' will experience a scheduling change due to the BAFTA Film Awards, which will air on February 16. As a result, the next episode (episode 7) is now set to broadcast on February 23 at 8pm, following this weekend's episode. This isn't the first time the BAFTAs have affected the show's timetable, as last year's season finale was also postponed. In the upcoming episode, viewers will see Joyce facing complications with a new mother while dealing with a council strike that triggers an outbreak of Weil's disease. Cast members, including Helen George, have hinted at future storylines, and screenwriter Heidi Thomas reassured fans about the show's ongoing appeal. The BAFTA ceremony will feature notable films competing for top awards, and David Tennant is returning as host.
