We Love Bridget Jones: All The Laughter & More

She's the nation's favourite lovelorn diarist and a British cultural icon. So, break out the blue soup and crank up the Celine Dion, because Bridget Jones is back for another hapless adventure in a brand-new movie released this Valentine's Day. And to coincide with Bridget's return to the big screen, this documentary explores the impact she has had on the world and our enduring love for her.

Bridget Jones is one of the most iconic characters of modern movie history. This relatable, lovable heroine captured the hearts of the nation, and the films have become one of the most successful romcom franchises of all time. When the hotly anticipated first film was released it even outperformed Titanic on its opening weekend in the UK. Bridget has changed popular culture, created a new genre of fiction and even made Christmas jumpers and big pants popular.

This 90-minute special homage to Bridget Jones's funny, clumsy and chaotic brilliance, takes a warm look at the UK's most unlikely romantic heroine. Just how did Helen Fielding's chain-smoking, chardonnay-chugging, unlucky in love character become one of the most successful British cultural exports of all time - and why?

Featuring exclusive interviews with some of the cast and crew sharing inside stories about the making of the beloved films, it also includes celebrity fans, as well as insights from film critics and commentators. They reveal what it is about Bridget that makes her so lovable - and the secret sauce that makes her movies so iconic.

The film charts the character's rise from a newspaper column to a wildly popular book series with 15 million worldwide sales and counting, to hit global film franchise. When Bridget Jones first appeared on the nation's radar, she was unlike anything they'd seen before - a totally relatable new type of modern woman trying to navigate work, love and life, and often failing miserably. But best of all, she was likeable - and unintentionally hilarious. Britain was hooked, and a three-decade love affair with 'Bridge' began.

With plenty of insightful commentary, this is the full story of Britain's most iconic 'girl next door', told by the people who know and love her best.
