So, it's no wonder that its creator Heidi Thomas is highly sought after by the streamers, who naturally want a piece of the pie.
"Why would I give it up for something that's a shot in the dark?" she said of the long-running series – which charts the personal and professional lives of the midwives and nuns of Nonnatus House, in London's East End, from the late 1950s through to the 1970s.
"To work with other women, to be able to tell stories about women and the working classes and the disabled and about newcomers to this country, I feel incredibly privileged to have had this material to work with. And... the streamers don't necessarily give anybody that because it's all a puff of smoke in the dark. Anything on a streamer comes like a firework and vanishes like a firework.
"And this [Call the Midwife] is solid, isn't it? It's solid. It's a building, we built it from the ground up and there will be more stories."
"I love the fact that we are a BBC show, because the BBC gives us a not unreasonable budget to work with, but we put every penny onto the screen," she said. "And I think that is as it ought to be. There's never enough time and there's never enough money, but what you make out of not having enough time and not having enough money is a jewel because you put thought into every gesture that you make, both on the screen and behind it. And I don't think you can put a price on thoughtfulness."
Jenny Agutter, who plays Sister Julienne, and has appeared in almost every episode of the series, went on to talk about the letters that herself and other cast members have received over the years, which illustrate just how much that "thoughtfulness" touches its loyal fanbase.
"But when you when you hear from somebody that the show got them through circumstances, or it was something that touched their lives, you think that actually it is a gift to other people, and that's a very special position to be in, and it's been wonderful to have that with us."

Christopher Harper, who joined the period drama as Trixie's brother Geoffrey in 2023, echoed those comments, describing being a part of Call the Midwife as a "massive privilege".
"So it's fabulous as an actor to be part of that."
