New year, new you?

To celebrate the start of a new year we invited friend-of-the-pod Adam Densten to relive and recap the classic 2001 rom-com Bridget Jones’ Diary.

It’s an iconic film we all know and love (especially Jacob): Renée Zellweger plays Bridget, an allegedly overweight “spinster” in her early thirties who smokes like a chimney, drinks like a fish and is desperate to find a man. Will she choose the cheeky sex god, Daniel Cleaver, or the stuffy, pompous Mark Darcy?

We chat about all the indoor ciggies, gherkins, fatphobia & knickers that make this film a kind of 2001 time-capsule. Enjoy, Gisteners, and happy 2023!
