\'Call The Midwife\' star Jenny Agutter says the team battled "wild and rugged" weather for the Christmas special.
The 66-year-old actress - who plays Sister Julienne on the BBC show - has opened up about filming in the Outer Hebrides for the upcoming festive episode alongside guest star Miriam Margolyes (Sister Mildred), and admits it was "very different" to Poplar.
Speaking to the Daily Mirror newspaper, she said: "Miriam Margolyes and I were up by these extraordinary locations with these standing stones but we could hardly hear each other because the wind was so high, and the rain was going straight into our faces, so we could hardly see.
"We were getting drenched really fast and we had nowhere to change because we were miles away from anything.
"I have a picture of Miriam covered in plastics and people around her trying to keep her protected and me in raincoats and the rest of it. We just wanted to try and do it as quickly as we possibly could. But it was beautiful and wild and rugged. It was very different to Poplar."
Jenny - who always tunes into the Christmas specials at home with her family - admitted she would love to see the feel-good show stay on air for the foreseeable future.
She added: "I\'ve been in \'Call The Midwife\' for nearly a decade now and one of the reasons for this is that it\'s just such a lovely group of people to work with.
"You get good stories, good production team, good actors and good food."
