剧集为观众打开一扇门，回到二十世纪五十年代的伦敦东区，而故事仍将围绕这群特殊的助产士和护理修女展开。护士珍妮·李和来自Nonnatus修道院的助产士和修女们拜访Poplar区的准妈妈们，并为最贫穷的妇女提供最好的照顾。在这一季中，我们将看到Chummy、Noakes和小Freddy回到了伦敦东区，修女Bernadette(离开修道院后被称为Shelagh)正在为她与特纳医生的婚礼做准备，而珍妮面临着个人生活和职业上的巨大挑战。圣诞节期间，在Nonnatus修道院附近的仓库下发现了一枚未爆炸的二战炸弹，修女们和几十个当地家庭发现自己无家可归。特纳医生正在与时间赛跑，为儿童接种小儿麻痹症疫苗，但当这种疾病逼近时，他发现除了抱有希望，竟别无他法。当一名皇室访客来到东区，Chummy说服他们开放新的社区中心。这是一场与时间的赛跑，而Chummy试图准备就绪，迎接大日子。 编剧海蒂·托马斯根据詹妮弗·沃斯的回忆录改编的剧集成为BBC最成功的电视剧之一，并在播出两季之后续拍。前两季中备受喜爱的角色将全部回归，第三季中还添加了一些新角色。
The indomitable DCI Vera Stanhope, assisted by her trusted colleague, DS Joe Ashworth, steps up for another series of challenging cases. She investigates the mysterious death of a pensioner on a busy commuter train (On Harbour Street), unearths a thirty year mystery after a brutal murder on the sands of a seaside resort (Protected), unpicks the tragic last months of a failed novelist gunned down on a remote Northumberland moor (The Deer Hunters), and delves into the tangled life of a businessman found floating in the water under the Gateshead Millennium Bridge (Death of a Family Man). Inspired by the novels written by renowned crime writer Ann Cleeves, and filmed against a backdrop of outstanding Northumberland landscapes and atmospheric production, each enthralling story is enhanced by the captivating performance of Brenda Blethyn as this shambolic yet brilliant detective.
