Trivia

The midwives are based in Nonnatus House, which is named after St. Raymond Nonnatus (nonnatus being the Latin for "not born") who was born by Cesarean section, and is the patron saint of pregnant women and childbirth.

Long before Jennifer Worth's memoirs were filmed, she spotted Miranda Hart and knew that she would be perfect to play Chummy Browne, the six-foot-tall, ungainly, clumsy midwife who features in her books. Miranda agreed to take the role of Chummy if the books were ever filmed.

What products are referred to?

Being a nostalgic show there seems to be a lot of this. Horlicks malt drink is referred to a lot, Trixie drinks Babycham (a pear cider) and Chummy drinks Glenlivet.
