Call The Midwife viewers issue Trixie and Matthew plea to BBC

Someone make the first move, please!

Call The Midwife viewers have implored Trixie to get together with Matthew.

The slow-burning friendship is edging towards something more, and in last night’s episodes (Sunday January 9), the two were seen chatting intimately on the telephone.

However, so strong are viewers’ hopes for the pair to get together that some said that they will “smash the TV” if it doesn’t happen.

“I think as well it’s one of these things everyone else possibly sees around them before they see it themselves.”

You’re not kidding… let’s hope they both realise soon!
