Where are the cast of Bridget Jones are now?

It's exactly 20 years since Renée Zellweger burst on to our screens as our favourite chain-smoking, big-knicker-wearing 'thirty-something' singleton in Bridget Jones's Diary. And while film sequels Bridget Jones: The Edge Of Reason and Bridget Jones's Baby went on to reveal what happened to hapless Bridget and her love interests Mark Darcy, played by Colin Firth, and Daniel Cleaver, played by Hugh Grant, just where are the original blockbuster's cast now?

The Duke review

Jim Broadbent steals the show in Ealing-style heist comedy.

The Duke review

All rise for The Duke, a scrappy underdog yarn that makes a powerful case for the rackety English amateur, the common man who survives by his wits with the odds stacked against him.

The Duke review

American audiences might need subtitles to help them decipher the local dialect, but, once they do, they will get more laughs than most films can offer.

Blackadder's Christmas Carol at 30

Thirty years ago, Blackadder brought us a brilliantly subversive take on the Charles Dickens classic - and it's still inspired.

Don't panic! Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy is back

It's the biggest thing to happen to the universe since the Vogons blew up Earth. Our writer grabs a babelfish and goes behind the scenes as the space satire returns.

Review: Paddington 2

Well, well, a sequel that is even more fun than its predecessor. It doesn't often happen but Paddington 2 manages to shift the stale marmalade sandwiches from 2014 to deliver a pacy, enjoyable adventure, which boasts a cameo cast that is like a who's who of British acting talent.
