Call the Midwife (TV Series)

Christmas Special (2019)

Laura Main: Nurse Shelagh Turner

Quotes 

• Nurse Shelagh Turner : [unpleasantly surprised at Mother Mildred's Branch House expansion plans]  The Outer Hebrides?

  Mother Mildred : I thought you'd approve being Scottish.

  Nurse Shelagh Turner : I'm not that sort of Scottish. I grew up in a busy market town; the Hebrides are very remote.

• Morag Norris : [upon hearing Shelagh speak in her accent]  You're Scots?

  Nurse Shelagh Turner : I am.

  Morag Norris : A bheil Gàidhlig agad?

  [Shelagh looks happily stumped] 

  Morag Norris : Ugh. I asked if you spoke Gaelic. There's no need to answer. Nurse that just left didn't speak it either. There's some here that speak nothing else on the island, but we manage.
