Drama following the lives of a group of midwives working in the poverty-stricken East End of London during the 1950s, based on the best-selling memoirs of Jennifer Worth.

When Ellis is forced to get his hair cut, he's willing to do whatever it takes to make the excruciating ordeal that little more bearable...even if it means telling a lie that will pretty much ensure, when he dies, he's going to hell.
