"We are now racing towards the end of filming for series 13, as the days shorten and the nights stretch away into winter. As we are a show that faithfully follows the seasons of each year, our stories inevitably turn towards those things that the British traditionally use to light up their spirits on cold nights... like firework displays," the caption read.

"Call the Midwife is no stranger to fireworks - and no Poplar light show would be complete without Fred Buckle risking life and limb in the service of his community," it continued, teasing an eventful storyline for Fred.

"Call the Midwife is a drama about the light we share in common. The child that lights a family. The selfless care that lights a community. The community that strives to shine brighter than the total of those individual lights it contains."
