One Born Every Minute (TV story)

One Born Every Minute is the title of a minisode broadcast on 15 March 2013 during the 2013 edition of the Comic Relief fund-raiser.

A three-way crossover/spoof, the minisode parodies the popular Channel 4 documentary series One Born Every Minute (which chronicles events in British maternity wards), as well as Call the Midwife (a period drama), and Doctor Who. Matt Smith appears as the Eleventh Doctor in the closing minutes of the sketch.

Several cast members have Doctor Who connections. Aside from Smith, Jessica Raine (TV: Hide and An Adventure in Space and Time) reprises her Midwife role of Nurse Jenny Lee, while Jenny Agutter (The Minister of Chance audio series, not covered by this wiki) spoofs her Sister Julienne character. In addition, Vanessa Redgrave provides closing narration; she is the aunt of Jemma Redgrave (Kate Lethbridge-Stewart).

The minisode is not considered canonical to either Doctor Who nor Call The Midwife continuity and has not been released on DVD.
