Stephen McGann wants to make a ‘Call the Midwife’ film.
The 56-year-old actor – who plays Dr. Patrick Turner in the hit BBC drama which tells the tales of the lives of a group of midwives living in East London in the late 1950s to early 1960s – revealed he is all for the show getting a big screen spin-off.
Stephen appeared on ‘This Morning’ today (08.02.19) and joked: "People are starting to talk about a film. The first answer to that was, anyone who wants to come along and make me a film star, they could come along.
"As long as it is kind of ‘Doctor Turner: The Movie’ it will be fine. They can come in for a little part around me that will be fine."
Stephen – who is married to the popular show’s creator Heidi Thomas – insisted the couple do not interfere with each other’s professional work despite being on the same show, but admitted they do share the moment when he receives new scripts.
He said: "We have a certain unspoken thing. I don’t look over her shoulder as she writes. She doesn’t look at the way I do lines or whatever.
"There’s only one thing we share. And that’s when I get the script with everybody else and then she gets really nervous because she knows I am reading the script for the first time. She hangs around outside the bedroom door.
"And there was one brilliant moment where I came out of the bedroom. She wants to know if I laugh at the funny bits, cry at the sad bits. And I came out tears streaming down my face one day and she was chuffed!"
‘Call The Midwife’ airs Sundays at 8pm on BBC One.
