Versailles, 1672-1678. The Franco-Dutch war wages on, Louis XIV confronts his bitter rival, Guillaume d'Orange. But danger threatens the kingdom, even so far as the court of Versailles into which a deadly poison seeps.

Louis has completed the first stage of his plan: to build the most beautiful palace in Europe far away from Paris, locking the nobility inside it and exercising absolute control. But the King has created a new and dangerous civilisation where courtiers are ready to do anything to get to the Sun. Behind a veneer of etiquette, they dream of ascending the social ladder to a world of wealth and power. Morality is waning, the poison spreads... Versailles is crumbling faster than it is being built.

Blinded by his affection for Madame de Montespan, Louis is deaf to the Church's injunctions. The greatest enemy standing before him is no longer the nobility, nor is it Guillaume d'Orange. The palace that he himself designed could become his worst enemy.

Wavering between mysticism and obscurity, diving into the dark side of power, will the king's downward spiral yet see his return to the light?

Opening with the funeral of Winston Churchill in January 1965, season nine continues with Nonnatus House entering a bold and innovative era. As the tower blocks multiply, and a new East End rises from the ashes of the old, society becomes more prosperous, but more complex.

Our familiar team of medics and midwives face unexpected challenges as the population shifts, rules change, and old diseases come back to haunt them. Meanwhile, their own experiences are fuelled by love, loss, and doubt - and the very fabric of their lives is jeopardised when Nonnatus itself comes under threat of demolition.

Includes the 90 minute Christmas special:
As Christmas approaches, a bout of influenza sweeps through both Nonnatus House and the Turner family. When Mother Mildred declares that God is calling her to set up a branch house in the Outer Hebrides, it seems an ideal opportunity for the nuns and midwives to convalesce in the bracing Scottish air. As they recover, they will also be able to help the island, where there is a nursing and doctor shortage. Sister Monica Joan associates the Outer Hebrides with St Eustace's White Stag, a symbol of Christ, and is thrilled at the idea of travelling there. However, she soon discovers to her annoyance that she is being left behind with Sister Hilda and Sister Frances. Within a week, Dr Turner, Shelagh, Mother Mildred, Trixie, Sister Julienne, Valerie and Lucille set off on their journey to the Outer Hebrides, where they are to stay in a freezing cold converted church. As the team set about establishing an antenatal clinic and treating the local population, they must battle not only the weather and bleak terrain but also the suspicions of some of the islanders.
