Call the Midwife’s Helen George says Nigel Farage and Andrew Tate are ‘really terrifying’

The nurses of Nonnatus House will be seen protesting and burning their bras in the BBC drama Call the Midwife, which takes place in 1971.

Call The Midwife star Helen George has warned that feminism and women’s rights are facing their biggest-ever threat following the rise of nationalism, Nigel Farage and Andrew Tate.

Next month, the long-running BBC1 drama returns with the nurses of Nonnatus House getting involved with the Women’s Liberation movement and burning their bras. The show is famous for having strong female characters at its core and championing women’s rights with its historical storylines stretching from the 1950s to the 1970s.

However, Helen fears that the rise in “anti-feminist mood” in modern Britain, the rise in support for Reform UK leader Farage, and the rise in popularity of self-declared misogynist and social media influencer Andrew Tate.

She is worried that the rise in toxic masculinity means that the country could end up like the fictional world of Gilead in the novel The Handmaid’s Tale, where powerless females are stuck in a patriarchal society with no control over their individuality or reproductive rights.

The actress, 41, who plays midwife Trixie Aylward in Call the Midwife, is dating businessman Dan Innes following her split in 2023 from her former Call the Midwife co-star Jack Ashton, with whom she shares two daughters.

She said: “We’re seeing the patriarchy get stronger and stronger, and I find that really terrifying. I think what comes with nationalism that we’re seeing with the St George’s flags, you know, and I don’t want to get too political, but what comes with that as well is an anti feminist mood. The Andrew Tate movement.

And I constantly tell my partner, “I feel like we’re being hoodwinked into it,” and we could turn around thanks to The Handmaid’s Tale. Do you comprehend my definition?

We may not be as far away from that as we believe we are. We believe we are all powerful as women, but it is coming. the laws and practices that prohibit abortion. If Nigel Farage gets his way, I believe Parliament will likely debate them.

It seems like it’s coming at us, and we’re sort of stomping around with it. According to Helen, abortion, which was legal in the UK in 1967, is still a hot topic even today.

She continued, “It is insane that some American states now prohibit it.” And you know, because it isn’t being monitored, we’ve seen what that does, we’ve seen the backstreet abortions, the slaughters that result from it. You are aware of what will occur. There will always be arguments in favor of abortion. The issue is that if you don’t allow it, it will actually cause more harm, right? There will be a death.

The new series of Call The Midwife starring Helen alongside co-stars Jenny Agutter and Judy Parfitt is back on our screens on Sunday January 11 but this will be the last viewers see of the Nonnatus House regulars in for a while, as the show is taking a break.

A brand-new cast playing some of the nuns in their younger years, set during the Blitz, will take the place of Call the Midwife in its place next year.

Meanwhile the main cast will be busy filming a movie version of the BBC show later in 2026. Helen claims it was a good time to put Call The Midwife on a pause.

Continue reading the article.

It’s our first year not filming Midwife, she explained to the Walking The Dog podcast (MUST). Although we won’t be doing a series next year, series 15 will be broadcast in January. We need to refocus because we’ve been doing it for a while, so the movie will give us a good chance to do that.
