In preparation for the highly-anticipated Call the Midwife Christmas special, BBC has added all eight seasons of the period drama to iPlayer earlier this month so you can get excited for the festive one-off now.

Thank the TV Gods!

The broadcaster has uploaded every episode of the beloved show as well as every episode of Miranda, Doctor Who and Gavin And Stacey to the streaming platform so you can get ready for their return this festive period.

Call The Midwife's 90-minute festive special is set to air on Christmas Day at 7pm on BBC One and sounds like it will be filled with tears and heartwarming moments.

The seasonal special follows Mother Mildred and the gang as they leave Poplar and travel to the Outer Hebrides for the Christmas break.

However, their trip is far from a relaxing festive getaway as their medical expertise is desperately needed by the small Scottish community, who have a lack of nurses and midwives.

Helen George, who plays Trixie, told This Morning recently: "We go up there because there's a small community without any medical health care of advisors, nurses or doctors, and there's a community in need so we go up and help in our own way.

"There's some babies! I have some scenes with a cow!"

Despite their picturesque surroundings, the BBC revealed that there will be plenty of problems for the ladies of Nonnatus House on the remote island.

The broadcaster explained in the official synopsis: "Exposed to the elements, they operate in bleak conditions with limited access to water and electricity to help their patients, just in time to reconvene in Poplar for Christmas."

Call The Midwife creator Heidi Thomas branded the special a "magical" adventure and told What's On TV that she wanted to put the gang into an "uncomfortable" situation.

Thomas explained: "It was high time to take the Christmas special out of Poplar and our characters out of their comfort zones.

"I wanted to put them somewhere uncomfortable because that's where drama is born."
