00:00Sounds a little strange to have a friendship with a film character, but that's what it feels like you're having a reunion with your friend
00:07The world has changed so much in the 20 nearly five years since we began the journey
00:13It's such an interesting thing for a fictional character
00:16Just move through life at the same pace as the folks who relate to her and love her
00:21Bridget Jones
00:22It's time to live the huge
00:25Success and appeal of these Bridget books and films is about it's okay to fail and let's laugh at our failure
00:33All of her ups and downs and struggles being presented with such a brilliant comic paintbrush
00:38To really include the audience in the journey of the character and we all go. Oh god. Yes, that's me
00:46Things can go very wrong, but you're gonna be okay
00:50I've climbed a magical man tree. You tell people you're going off to do another Bridget Jones and they'll go
00:56Oh good. Oh, how lovely because she's such a warm and loving lovable character
01:02Back in our literal places at the table give a little wink back to the beginning
01:09So Bridget still on your own
01:12They have these reunions Jude with Shirley and for Chazza with Sally and for Tom with James we've all grown
01:20We've had some fun though, haven't we?
01:23Oh, yeah, and we have a lot of fun without even appearing on camera
01:27It's years in between each film, but it doesn't feel like that once we see each other's faces again
01:33Renee and Hugh and Colin, it's lovely. I felt really emotional
01:39It's an incredible thing to see how everyone's grown and changed and to tell the story from a new and different perspective
