Calling all fans
Are you a fan of Call the Midwife? Do you engage in creative activities inspired by the hit 麻豆社 drama, from visiting the filming locations at Chatham Dockyard or knitting dolls of the central characters to baking Sister Monica Joan鈥檚 favourite cakes. If so, we鈥檇 love to hear from you!
This joint 麻豆社 and Oxford University project aims to understand the many different ways that fans engage with, and express their passion for, Call the Midwife (CTM).
We plan to invite 10 fans to an interactive workshop at the 麻豆社鈥檚 Broadcasting House in London to share their creative activities with each other and discuss how they express their passion for CTM. These fans will be filmed in one-to-one interviews for a special 10-part video blog series capturing their experiences and stories and the motivations behind, and significance of, their CTM fandom. In doing so, we hope to develop a better understanding of why CTM continues to resonate so strongly with its loyal fanbase and uncover the innovative, meaningful, and inspirational directions in which audiences take the programme.
To enter, click on the 麻豆社 Uploader button below where we will ask a series of questions designed to learn more about you and understand why you would like to take part in the workshop and video blog series. You will also be asked to upload a 2-minute video explaining why you are a fan of CTM and showcasing any objects, artefacts, or other creations you would like to share.
It sadly will not be possible to choose everyone who fills in this questionnaire and we will get in touch directly with those being considered to take part. Please note you must be a UK resident and over the age of 18 to take part.
The data you provide in this form will be held safely and securely by the 麻豆社 and the way in which the 麻豆社 will use your data is outlined in the 麻豆社 Privacy Notice.
