Call The Midwife's Pam Ferris says BBC show left her needing an op after riding a bike
Call The Midwife actress Pam Ferris has revealed that riding her clunky bike as Sister Evangelina left her needing a knee operation.She groaned: “Those bikes were really heavy and my shoes were so big on me that they didn’t allow me to turn the bike because my foot would hit the front wheel.“Add in darkness and cobbles and puddles with holes underneath that you didn’t know about and it was a risk to life and limb – in my case to my cruciate ligament."The star explained: “I ended up having to have an operation on my knee. But I loved it when I was going straight.”Co-star Jessica Raine, Jenny Lee in the BBC series, admitted that she struggled with her bike too.She said: “It was so much cycling! When we were in Chatham doing all the exterior scenes those cobbles had pretty deep grooves between them so if your front wheel got caught in one of them it was a nightmare.“You just had to battle through.
