''Call the Midwife'' is a British period drama television series based on the best-selling memoirs of former nurse Jennifer Worth, who died shortly before the first episode was broadcast.〔 It is set in the late 1950s and early 1960s and for the first three series centred on Jenny Lee (Jessica Raine), who, in the first episode, begins a new job as a midwife in the deprived Poplar district of London. The programme's regular cast has also included Jenny Agutter, Pam Ferris, Judy Parfitt and Laura Main as nuns living at the nursing convent where Jenny works, and Miranda Hart, Helen George, Bryony Hannah, Charlotte Ritchie and Emerald Fennell as her fellow midwives. Vanessa Redgrave delivers framing voiceovers in the role of "mature Jenny".〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=Call the Midwife )〕 The idea of adapting Worth's books for television was initially dismissed by the BBC,〔 but revived after Danny Cohen took over the post of Controller of BBC One. A full series was commissioned in 2011 and writer Heidi Thomas adapted Worth's books for the screen. The first episode was broadcast on 15 January 2012 and the initial series of six episodes drew positive reviews and large viewing figures, said by the BBC to be the highest audiences achieved by a new drama series on BBC One since the corporation's current method of measuring audiences began in 2001. Following the second episode, the BBC announced that a second series, expanded from six to eight episodes, had been commissioned. In September 2012 the programme won the Best New Drama award and Hart was named Best Actress at the ''TV Choice'' Awards. The second series began on 20 January 2013, and during the run BBC Controller for Drama Ben Stephenson announced that he had commissioned a 2013 Christmas special and a third series of eight episodes to be broadcast in 2014, despite the fact that all the original source material had been exhausted by the end of the second series. The series has also achieved success outside the UK. In the United States, the first series' transmission on PBS in the autumn of 2012 drew an average audience of three million viewers. This figure was 50% higher than the network's primetime average for the 2011–12 season.〔(【引用サイトリンク】title=BBC and PBS to bring second season of critically acclaimed drama "Call the Midwife" to the U.S. )〕 ==Series overview==
