根据畅销书《詹妮弗·沃斯回忆录》改编的、英国广播公司(BBC)出品的剧集《呼叫助产士》讲述了上世纪五六十年代伦敦东区一群助产士的生活经历。第八季继续探讨在助产士的职场上中复杂的医疗状况和故事。1964年,时代在发生着明显的变化:从避孕药的发明到1967年堕胎法案留下的阴影,再到新的癌症筛查项目的引入,令修女和护士们继续面临各种挑战性的问题,包括跨种族收养、腭裂、镰状细胞和婴儿夭折,而对于团队中的一位来说,浪漫故事也即将上演。
The mini-series follows the history of the Roman Empire, from approximately the death of Marcellus (24/23 BC) to Claudius' own death in 54 AD. As Claudius narrates his life, we witness Augustus' attempts to find an heir, often foiled by his wife Livia who wants her son Tiberius to become emperor. We also see the conspiracy of Sejanus, the infamous reign of Caligula, and Claudius' own troubled period of rule.
