Call the Midwife writer and creator Heidi Thomas said the hugely popular series, which started in 2012 based on the memoirs of Jennifer Worth, is likely to remain on the BBC in some form for many years to come.
Show writer and creator Heidi Thomas hinted that change was coming in an interview to mark the end of the 14th series on Sunday, with a finale in which Megan Cusack bows out as nurse Nancy Corrigan.
Another possibility is that it is set in a hospital - like a 1970s version of Casualty - or follow one particular character or pair, such as newly romantic Cyril Robinson and Rosalind Clifford or pals Miss Higgins and Phyllis Crane.
One possibility is that the action could follow the nuns, led by Jenny Agutter’s character Sister Julienne, as they leave Nonnutus House for a new home outside of London, as happened in real life during the 1970s.
There is one year left to run under the show’s current three-year deal with BBC1, guaranteeing that the show’s loyal audience of 8million get their regular fix from Poplar in January 2026.
