\u201cIt was a particularly warm spell [when we started filming], very nice and mild, like we tell you every year,\u201d he said. \u201cBut there\u2019s a big sequence\u2026 in the cold. I remember turning up in Chatham in Kent where we filmed some of the big ambulance sequences, and it\u2019s that weird thing where you\u2019re walking along the road in the sunshine and then you turn the corner and it was literally January. And the atmosphere, there was a lot of dry ice, it seemed psychologically freezing.<\/p>\n
\u201cSo we don\u2019t just have snow this year, like I always say. It was dangerous snow, high drama where it really affects and endangers people, and affects the plot.\u201d<\/p>\n
Trixie and Matthew are also navigating their first Christmas together as a married couple, which Helen George described as \u201cawkward\u201d<\/a>, adding: \u201cThey\u2019re trying to work out what they\u2019re going to do. Trixie doesn\u2019t really have any family apart from Nonnatus House, and of course he\u2019s a Chelsea boy, so does he really want to spend Christmas in Poplar?\u201d<\/p>\n Read more:<\/strong><\/p>\n Olly Rix continued: \u201cDespite what they might want it to be, they don\u2019t get the choice. They have this house guest [Trixie\u2019s brother Geoffrey<\/a>], and they have all these obligations at Nonnatus House. He\u2019s just sort of screaming inside.\u201d<\/p>\n This year\u2019s festive episode begins a couple of weeks before Christmas Day with \u201cApollo 8 poised to circle the moon\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n But despite the excitement in the air, \u201cSister Monica Joan is convinced this could be her last Yuletide and decides she\u2019ll not live to see man walk on the moon\u201d, which prompts her friends to team up in an effort to boost her spirits.<\/span><\/p>\n Viewers will also be pleased to hear that \u201cNancy has recommitted to staying at Nonnatus House\u201d after her future was in doubt last season, while Cyril is distracted by \u201ca lost soul living alone in a dilapidated basement flat\u201d, and Nurse Crane attempts to make it back in time for Christmas after time away on a refresher course.<\/span><\/p> All 12 seasons of Call the Midwife are available to stream on\u00a0BBC iPlayer<\/a>.
