The multi-award winning drama returns to BBC One for a tenth season! It’s 1966, and it’s a testing time for the nuns and midwives. With Trixie’s help, Sister Julienne is determined to steer Nonnatus House out of its financial quandary. Dr Turner deals with an array of difficult cases, including a former soldier involved in nuclear test explosions. Meanwhile, Sister Monica Joan experiences a crisis of faith, and Sister Frances realises she needs to be a little less spiritual if she’s to really connect with the local women. There are some interesting challenges ahead, as well as great celebrations when England wins the football World Cup. Also includes the 2020 Christmas Special and Call The Midwife: Special Delivery 10th Anniversary Special.
Call The Midwife returns for more heat-warming tales of life in London's hard-up East End. The Midwives are back to welcome new lives in the changing times of the 1960s. It's 1968 and Enoch Powell's infamous "Rivers of Blood" speech creates serious tension in Poplar, especially when a group of dockers march in support of Powell. The midwives welcome a new nun, Sister Veronica, who's an instant hit with everyone - except Nurse Crane. Meanwhile, Trixie's relationship with Matthew goes from strength to strength, while Nurse Crane helps Nancy with her financial woes. Sister Julienne enjoys helping out on the district rounds, Shelagh and Dr Turner split their time between the busy maternity home and their lively young family, while Reggie continues to bring joy into Violet and Fred's lives.
The midwives of Nonnatus House continue to face complex medical and personal dilemmas as the multi-award-winning drama returns for a thirteenth season. It’s 1969 and more babies than ever are being born in hospital. Pressure on maternity beds remains extremely high across the country. However, Poplar is coping better than most due to the popularity of home births under the auspices of the Sisters. And a new midwife-training scheme sees Nonnatus House welcome a host of new midwives. The recruits face social problems arising from the docks, concerns among the Nigerian and Sylheti communities and health challenges from Cerebral Palsy, Tetanus and TB.
It is now 1962, and the Nonnatus House team are as committed to caring for the people of Poplar as always. However, the social revolution in the outside world is mirrored by change and challenge much closer to home. As they strive to help mothers and families cope with the demands of childbearing, disability, disease and social prejudice, our beloved medics must make choices - and fight battles - of their own. Season 6 will see them laugh together, cry together, and pull together, supporting each other as never before. The Christmas Special will see the series transported to the Eastern Cape of South Africa. Nonnatus House receives an SOS from a tiny mission hospital. Understaffed, underfunded, and with a poor water supply, struggling Hope Clinic is faced with closure. Can our much-loved medics and midwives make a difference to the people whose lives depend upon its work? Far from home and everything familiar, the team are both shaken and exhilarated by the challenges they face - and by the time the mission trip is over, some lives are permanently changed.

The other is an opulent yacht owned by an apparently wealthy German, Dollmann. Davies becomes increasingly suspicious of Dollmann's behaviour. Could he be a spy? Wanting answers, Arthur contacts a friend in the Foreign Office who joins him aboard, only for them to be threatened by Dollmann and told to leave the area. Instead the two become even more involved and discover a German plot to invade Britain. They must get word urgently to British intelligence, but there are many forces who wish to keep them silent.

Unless David kills himself he will fall prey to the monster's curse at the next full moon, and transform into a savage killer...

Box set containing all three movies from the popular 'Darkman' franchise. In 'Darkman' (1990), Doctor Peyton Westlake's (Liam Neeson) attempts to clone body parts via computer are disturbed when his laboratory is torched by a gang of thugs, with Westlake left for dead. Horribly disfigured, he uses his equipment to survive, reinventing himself as Darkman. Obssessed with getting revenge on sadistic gang leader Robert G. Durant (Larry Drake), Darkman is torn by his love for former girlfriend Julie (Frances McDormand), and struggles to reconcile the two, warring sides of his personality. 'Darkman 2 - The Return of Durant' (1994) sees the return of the crime-fighting master of disguise, Darkman (Arnold Vosloo replacing Neeson as the disfigured superhero), who, using his former identity of Dr Peyton Westlake, is very close to discovering the secret of making himself whole again. However, a certain chain of events causes him to relive the nightmares which disfigured him, leading him and his assistant to discover that his old enemy, Robert G. Durant (Larry Drake), is not dead as thought, but very much alive and kicking. 'Darkman 3 - Die Darkman Die' (1995) is the final outing for Dr Peyton Westlake (Vosloo), alias Darkman, who this time round does battle with a drugs baron (Jeff Fahey). This villain wants to obtain the secret of Westlake's superhuman strength, and Westlake is thus plunged into a game of survival.
