As a new film looms, the Call the Midwife Doctor Truner star has opened up about living with his BBC drama co-star.
Stephen McGann has opened up about the forthcoming Call the Midwife movie and his private life with his co-star wife.
The beloved BBC period drama has made a triumphant comeback with a new series, and Stephen has once more taken on the role of Doctor Patrick Turner.
The 62-year-old actor has captivated audiences since he first arrived in Poplar as the heroic doctor during the inaugural episode in 2012.
A beacon of hope in the impoverished corner of London, Dr Turner has saved lives, assisted in childbirth, and consistently warmed viewers’ hearts with each episode.
The BBC show is now in its fifteenth series, which has transitioned to 1971, ushering in a new era for the plot.
The Women’s Liberation movement, premature births, cancer diagnoses, and other topics are the topics of the upcoming decade’s research.
A 16th series has been confirmed as the period drama enters the 1970s. A prequel series starring the first members of Nonnatus House and a film starring them will also be released in Poplar during World War II.
Stephen has opened up about the upcoming Call the Midwife movie and shared a cheeky relationship with Heidi Thomas, the show’s creator.

Appearing on Thursday’s episode of The One Show (January 15), the actor joined hosts Lauren Laverne and Roman Kemp, and guests David Baddiel and EastEnders star Kim Medcalf, and opened up about the forthcoming Call the Midwife movie and gave a cheeky insight into his marriage with the show’s creator, Heidi Thomas.
Roman responded, “Stephen, your wife is one of the show’s creators.” The film being made needs to be discussed. Everyone is so excited. What can you say to us, exactly?
It’s so difficult to say anything, Stephen replied. She always tells me to leave right now because she is so busy. Although it is (the year) 72, I am aware that many of the characters will be present because of it.
Although there is a prequel, the actors are all “old hands,” with possible additions of even more.
He continued, “Asking people to come along and be in our episodes is a very different attitude from asking them to be in a movie is a great thing.”
The canvas is wide, but I’m a little hesitant to ask for anything because, last time, she asked me if she thought she was getting too big for my boots and she said, “How would you feel if Doctor Turner lost a lung?”
Then David Baddiel posed the question, “Will your wife give you a terrible storyline if you have a fight with her?” She actually suggested that entire plotline, Stephen joked. I did a row, and now I’m terrified! She will act in anger because it was at the breakfast table.”
Who is the wife of Stephen McGann?
After getting married to Heidi Thomas in 1988, the couple, both 27, had a honeymoon in Tuscany. They soon began a new life together in a cottage in rural Essex. Dominic is their son.
After auditioning for Heidi’s new play at the Liverpool Playhouse, Stephen’s book, A History of My Family in Seven Maladies, was published.
