CALL The Midwife bosses tease filming for new series in a rare behind-the-scenes photo.
The much-loved medical drama took to social media to announce filming is now complete on this year's Christmas special and midway through production on the upcoming 12th season.
A behind-the-scenes photograph showed Doctor Patrick Turner's (played by Stephen McGann) on-screen children.
The caption read: "It's that time of year when Call the Midwife takes a short recess in the middle of filming to give our hard-working team a well-earned rest with their families.
"Filming days can be very long, and the hours very inhospitable – and so our production likes to reward our team with a decent break midway through so that they can return refreshed to complete the series."
It continued: "So how are we doing? Really, really well!"

"I swear these kids get cheekier by the month!
