Call the Midwife's Stephen McGann prepares for dramatic baby scene in behind-the-scenes snap
Call the Midwife's Stephen McGann, who plays Dr. Patrick Turner, has given fans a sneak peek into how the show films scenes with newborn babies. The 61-year-old actor shared a behind-the-scenes photo on the official Call the Midwife Instagram page, showing him in character as Dr.Turner attending to a very unwell baby, which is actually a plastic doll. In the image, the actor can be seen gently holding the doll's chest while giving off a serious expression. When the time comes to film the scene, the doll will be replaced with a real-life baby. The post also explained the use of dolls for rehearsals, stating: "This photo from the set of our latest Call the Midwife Christmas Special shows Stephen McGann (Dr. Turner) rehearsing a detailed medical sequence on the delivery room's Resuscitaire."
