They had Sonia watching the queen mother on a boat and was talking about her declining health a couple episodes before todays ones but yeah, I think this was the start of them adding things like that. Hadn’t really noticed it being done before.

I remember they added on a bit with Laura and Ian reading a paper discussing the football results at the beginning of an episode around 2000? Apparently they shot it that morning, which impressed me as a kid
I absolutely hate when they add in real life bits.I get unnecessary rage over it.The one that pissed me off the most was when Michael Jackson died and Patrick said some inept comment to Denise I think 
It’s far from the first ‘last minute insert’ of a real life event. They started doing it in 1987. The General Election result that year was one of the first ones
Here is a list of them

Interesting, thank you
Did they really, I didn't notice it.
Mark is just the worst! Literally no redeeming features about him 
I used to think he was alright but finding him so annoying watching the classic episodesMark is just the worst! Literally no redeeming features about him

He is an absolute bastard!
I remember really liking Mark I cannot imagine why now, he’s horrendous!
Bit of a lackluster exit for Mel leaving on a coach with her whole life packed into one very small bag

He’s horrendously mardy makes me want to punch his lights out
I feel rotten for Little Mo but at the same time I want to give her a good shake.
What has Phil got against Little Mo to turn on her like that? I thought her and Peggy were close.
Also, would Mel be allowed to skip bail and that would be the end of it. I didn't watch EE when she made her return years later - was it mentioned? I'm guessing not.

I do feel since they went to 4 episodes a week they tend to drag stories out for too long. I'm finding this little Mo trial quite tedious and boring, with the only light relief being Gary punching Beppe over Lynn
I know I’m an hole but, Sonia falling into the rubbish bags
She is 16 going on 55 gets right on my nerves.I know I’m an hole but, Sonia falling into the rubbish bags

Just watching this week's Call the Midwife and classic version Martin is in it....
There's NO WAY Sonia and Jamie splitting up for the millionth time deserved the Julia theme credit song!
