CALL THE MIDWIFE Sunday, 8pm, BBC1 Drama
Dedicated Joyce Highland experiences turmoil when she tries to help a troublesome patient this week.

'Alf's an example of the ignorance Joyce faces daily,' says Renee. 'There's friction and Joyce isn't afraid of confrontation, but she'll never compromise her professionalism and she wants to help because Alf needs her.'
Meanwhile, Joyce also meets Alf's neighbour, impoverished widowed mum Nerys (Georgia Landers), who's struggling to raise her children alone. But caring Joyce is torn over how to assist the family.
