What is it with Brits and toilet humour? Sister Philomena manages to get through to old Mrs Jenkins by breaking wind - not once but twice, and the second time in a different key! And then a short time later an abandoned baby also lets rip. I was half expecting one of our hard-working young midwives to join in with a fart or two of their own, but thankfully they managed to stifle the urge. Call me tight-bottomed, but these blasts seemed a little out of place in what was after all a Christmas special. Farting aside, after a very promising start I can't help but feel that the programme is becoming a little too mawkish and the women giving birth gratingly louder as each successive baby pops out into the world.
