CALL THE MIDWIFE – THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM

Currently finishing up production on both the 2013 Christmas special and series 3, it’s almost beyond belief that when originally pitched to the BBC, Call the Midwife was initially dismissed. Thankfully, Danny Cohen took over as Controller of BBC One and the rest is history. To coincide with the Christmas premiere, Call the Midwife fans can add to their seasonal excitement a very special new CD and Digital release. CALL THE MIDWIFE – THE CHRISTMAS ALBUM, which is packaged in a specially designed pop up gift pack for the festive season, is set for release by Demon Music Group on 25 November 2013.
