Call the Midwife fans have been full of praise about the latest episode, which saw a young mother struggling with black mould in her flat, which leads to her daughter becoming deathly ill and leading her to admit that she was ashamed of her living circumstances.
Discussing the issue, which Edna described as "filthy, stinking, mould-ridden world that makes my children sick," fans were quick to discuss their own issues with mould in their homes, and how the hit BBC show makes issues from the 1960s so relevant to today.
One person wrote: "#CallTheMidwife totally brilliant as always wondering if our landlord was watching re damp and mould in properties and it's health issues doubt it," while another person added: "I love how this show demonstrates how the problems experienced in the 50s/60s/70s are just as relevant today....poor social living conditions and an nhs workforce that is understaffed, underpaid and unappreciated by the ruling elite."

I’m so thankful that there are better remedies for such pain now, than back in the 60’s, although I no longer get my ‘visitor’! And Trixie learning to drive had me in stitches! See you all next week!"

Chatting to HELLO! and other outlets at a press event for the new series, Cliff Parisi revealed that he contracted hypothermia while filming by the seaside in West Wittering.
He explained: "The wind was unbelievable. It was so cold. I was wearing a shirt with a hanky on my head and I managed to keep it on my head for the whole time but I caught hypothermia in the end and they took me off set. I was hypothermic. It was cold!"
© Neal Street Productions/Olly CourtneyCliff added: "They just took me out of the background. We'd filmed all of the scenes I was in, so they just took me out of the background of probably a couple of shots. It didn't really affect the schedule of shooting. To be honest, it was a laugh, it was just cold."
