An exclusive first-look clip sees Dr Turner and Sister Veronica setting up a clinic to test local school children for TB.
This week’s episode of Call the Midwife is set to see Dr Turner and Sister Veronica running a clinic to test children from local schools for tuberculosis, so they can asses which of them can be given the BCG vaccine.
RadioTimes.com has an exclusive first-look clip from the episode, which sees the clinic getting up and running – although Dr Turner and Sister Veronica seem to be stepping on each other’s toes somewhat.
As the children from two different schools start to argue and fight, the duo have to split them up, before explaining the procedure and what it will mean for each of them.

Sister Monica Joan is thankful to be able to witness a Moon landing in her lifetime, and finds herself overcome with emotion when Neil Armstrong steps onto the Moon’s surface.
Series creator and writer Heidi Thomas previously told Radio Times magazine that the monumental event will see the characters grappling with existential questions, explaining: “Newcomers Joyce and Rosalind arrive with much to learn. As 1969 unfolds, we’ll see change and challenge rock the world of our beloved nuns, nurses, medics and midwives.
“Even as man prepares to walk on the Moon, we see them grappling with life’s eternal questions. Who are we? What is love? And where do we belong?”
Another storyline in Sunday’s episode will see the pupil midwives undergoing a review. Following this, Joyce is assigned to Prue Stanton, a rumbustious warm-hearted local, under Trixie’s tutelage – however, things take a turn for the worse when Trixie makes a serious mistake.
