Mad About Bridget Jones

To celebrate the release of Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, now showing in cinemas across the country, join us this Valentine's Day for a 10 News FirstSpecial that looks back at the franchise which all began with one woman and her diary. 

For more than two decades, 10's Entertainment Editor Angela Bishop has been on the front lines of Bridget Jones fandom, interviewing Renée Zellweger from the moment she first stepped into Bridget's iconic heels in 2001.  

Now, as Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy arrives in cinemas, Angela and Renée reunite for an exclusive deep dive into the character that defined a generation.  

From the initial controversy over a Texan playing Britain's beloved everywoman to the enduring charm that keeps Bridget relevant today, this special unpacks why we've all been a little bit mad about Bridget for years. 

With cast members old and new joining in on the fun, Mad About Bridget Jones is packed with nostalgia, laughter, and a few surprises along the way.  

From diary entries to big undies, reindeer jumpers to blue soup, revisit the moments that made us fall in love with Bridget all over again. This Valentine's Day, celebrate the return of cinema's favorite imperfect heroine in this heartwarming TV special.
