Episode 91: Bridget Jones's Podcast with Sharon Maguire

In this episode we meet Sharon Maguire, the real life Shazzer from Bridget Jones's Diary! She also directed the Bridget movies, so there's some chat about that. We find out what it's like to be actual best mates with Helen Fielding, and discuss Sharon's experience of being an older mum. Then she shares a Scummy Mummy Confession that will make her husband wince. After that it's time for some film chat, as Helen and Ellie reveal what they thought of the Bridget Jones's Baby movie. There's lots of searing analysis of the narrative arc and mis en scene, and most importantly, we discuss who we'd "do" out of Dempsey or Darcy. This episode is sponsored by the digital release of Bridget Jones's Baby.
