The BBC filming crew had a rough time due to some terrible weather conditions. Even the filming of the popular show, Call The Midwife, was not spared from the chaos. The director was "blinded" while on set, causing major disruptions. The show, known for its historical setting in East London, was being filmed in different locations. At one point, they even moved to the seaside, but their luck didn't seem to improve as the day turned out to be quite dreary.
Georgie Glen, who plays Miss Higgins on the show, shared her experience of the day, "It wasn't just a grey day, it was terrible! The sand in the eyes was the worst." The situation was so bad that the director ended up getting an eye infection. Stephen McGann, who plays Dr. Patrick Turner, also chimed in, "The director was blinded by the sand, and the poor hair and makeup people suffered as well. Everyone's hairdo was ruined by the salt, wind, and sand."
Despite the challenges, McGann maintained a positive outlook and even found humor in the situation, saying, "It was a challenge, but it was also hilarious in its own way. And we all got to go away for a few days, so that was sweet." However, not everyone was able to see the silver lining. Cliff Parisi, who portrays Fred Buckle on the show, revealed that he ended up with hypothermia due to the freezing cold weather while filming on the beach.
Parisi shared, "Everything was going sideways. The wind was unbelievable, and it was so cold. I was wearing a shirt with a hanky on my head. I managed to keep the hanky the whole time, but I got hypothermia in the end." The 63-year-old had to be taken off-set to warm up and couldn't continue filming. Despite the challenges, the cast and crew managed to finish most of the scenes before the weather got too extreme.
These behind-the-scenes mishaps add to the charm of the show and are a testament to the dedication of the cast and crew. Call The Midwife continues to captivate audiences as it enters its 13th season. If you have a celebrity story, video, or pictures, feel free to reach out to the entertainment team at The Agency.
