'Bridget Jones's Diary' from 2001. Cigarettes and Chardonnay with Renee Zellweger, Hugh Grant and Colin Firth

Greetings from PG Towers! Join social historian Dr Lee Arnott and TV Producer Dave Moor for a lighthearted look at the world of TV,  Film and Popular Culture from yesteryear that has since been considered problematic. As the fourth instalment of the Bridget Jones series 'Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy' is released worldwide, we cast out gaze back to 2001 and discuss the first film 'Bridget Jones's Diary.' Just what makes Bridget Jones, played by Renee Zellweger, such a well loved, endearing character? And what can the first film tell us about the  cultural landscape at the turn of the century? Crack open the Chardonnay, spark up a ciggy, and let Dr Lee and Dave guide you through.You can watch 'Bridget Jones's Diary' from 2001 on many streaming services worldwide.Click here to follow us on all our socialsPlease leave us a review wherever you get your podcasts.
