Yahoo News Call The Midwife star points out big change to the show for American audience
We know that due to the coronavirus outbreak, filming on Call The Midwife season 10 has been suspended.
"Our priority is the safety of our amazing cast and crew, and we don't believe that shooting at the current time is feasible or responsible," a statement said.
"However, the moment the situation improves, the nuns and nurses of Nonnatus House will be back on their bikes, bringing babies and joy into your living rooms," it added.
The show then gave an update, explaining the team had been getting creative in order to move series 10 work along while maintaining social distancing.
While we don't quite know when Call The Midwife will be coming back to our screens with a new set of episodes in the UK, fans in the US are currently being treated to season nine, given the show starts broadcasting there a little later.
There is a key difference to the US cut of the show, though, as pointed out by Nurse Valerie star Jennifer Kirby, who is in lockdown away from home.
"So I’m in the US at the mo (since pre-corona so this has been quite a time), quarantined up with my partner and 2 friends. We all watched the season premiere of CTM on PBS. V fun," Jennifer started off by saying on Twitter.
She went on to add that some moments from the original episode had been cut out.
"Howevs, didn’t realise they cut so much out?!!! (Val and Mo made up FYI and Doc T brushed a rabbit)" she added.
"Should clarify, of course they have to for commercial breaks. But would recommend the DVDs if you want the British edit," she concluded.

As Jennifer mentioned, Call The Midwife airs on PBS in America and therefore includes ad breaks, something we don't have in the UK given the show airs on the BBC here.
US fans in need of extra snippets of action should check out the DVD boxset:
Call The Midwife airs on BBC One in the UK and on PBS in America.
