Jennifer Worth's memoirs are discussed as the basis for the hit TV series Call the Midwife. Sarah Reid clarifies that Worth was not a nun but one of the midwives who worked alongside the nuns at Nonnatus House in Poplar. The memoirs are described as first-hand accounts of working with some of the poorest women in the country, living in overcrowded, insanitary conditions. Both Sarah Reid and Tom Holland express great admiration for the authenticity and social significance of the TV adaptation based on these memoirs.
