The first-look footage for the upcoming episode, hints at what’s in store for Trixie this holiday season – and from the looks of it, it’s pretty clear it wasn’t on her Christmas list.

As we know, the year is 1965 and, as you can gather in the video, Poplar’s favorite nurses are gearing up for the festive season when a knock on the door interrupts them. Trixie (Helen George), eager to receive her annual dress allowance from her Godmother, hurries to greet the postman. But she’s disappointed to find the letter contains a subscription to a “marriage bureau” rather than a chance at some new outfits.
