[Margaret Pilkington]

Yes, How astute of you Lettie.....the midwifery sister she reminds me of had the initials A.P.(I don't want to put her name on the forum incase she sees it and thinks I am out of order).
This was my impression after the first episode and it was reinforced by the second episode.
I like this particular midwifery sister very much...she seemed to be down to earth, could tell it like it was(didn't mince her words) but had loads of common sense and compassion.
It made me think of her and wonder where she is now.
Yes I know what you mean about the Pam Ferris character......and the Jenny Agutter one too.
