Helen George, who plays Trixie Franklin, has her own way of celebrating the first day back on set.

The British drama is known for tackling on some heavy storylines involving babies, families and heartbreaking emotions. Jenny Agutter (Sister Julienne) previously spoke to Lancashire Telegraph about the latest Christmas episode and how it compared to the opening episode of the fourth season.

"It was different, unlike episode one [of series four] which was very specifically about an issue at that particular time, child neglect," Agutter said. "Not that that isn't still the issue today, but it's been very focused on particular stories."

The actress also opened up on how things changed as the series moved into the 1960s.

"The series was very much about the beginning of the sixties, and with that, you see all the wonderful opportunities that people start to have; you have the NHS and you start to take things for granted," she said. "Then on the other side of that, there's quite a lot of anguish; suddenly one looks at the rotten parts of society, realizing how bigoted people are; realizing how stuck one is with certain things."

Call the Midwife Season 5 is expected to premiere in the United States in spring 2016.
