00:00Oh, I'm very excited. I'm going with my mum because I saw the initial films with her as
00:25well, so I'm really excited about seeing it with her. And it's just been a long time coming
00:30for the next one.
00:31In life, there are memories that will never leave us.
00:36I like you very much, just as you are.
00:40But sometimes, those memories are suddenly all we're left with.
00:51I just think she brings that warmth to life, generally, to relationships, and makes fun
01:09of life, which is what it should be, really. But a lovely, happy ending.
01:13Yeah, I think her character tells you that it's okay to be messy and to not know what
01:19you're doing, and to walk into things wholeheartedly, even though it might be a complete mess.
01:26And I think that's a message that people need to hear sometimes, and yeah, it just makes
01:31you feel good after watching the movie.
01:33Ah, Mrs. Darcy?
01:35Mr. Wallacher?
01:36Why is your granny wearing pyjamas?
01:39Bridget, you're a widow with two wonderful children. My advice to you is put your own
01:44oxygen mask on first. You just have to get laid.
01:49I'm a huge Self Confess Bridget Jones fan.
02:19I've been a huge fan of Bridget since I was around 12, 13 years old, when I probably shouldn't
02:26have been watching the first film, but I was. And I just found her relatability, her ability
02:32to not take herself too seriously, her drive, and her friendship group around her just all
02:42felt really comforting and felt like something that I could achieve and almost aim for.
03:01I think, especially for kind of younger generations and Generation Z, the last kind of 10 years
03:08has been such a movement towards perfectionism and, you know, getting up at 6am and going
03:15to your Pilates class and making sure you're eating your avocado on toast and then making
03:20sure you've got your green juice and then, you know, doing your meditation. And social
03:26media's only amplified that, the lives that people project onto us that's so perfect a
03:31lot of the time. And Bridget is just absolutely not that.
03:35Everything all right, Mrs Darcy?
03:38Yep, super. Just climbing a tree.
03:42I can see that. Having fun?
03:44Yes, yes, really fun.
03:49You sure you don't need a hand?
03:51No, no. As Einstein said, what goes up must come down.
03:57Newton.
03:58Yes, Newton.
04:05So, hiding within this lovely archway is an area called Middle Temple. So, the temple
04:16area itself is split into four sections. Middle Temple, Inner Temple, Grayson and Lincolnson.
04:25Customers will flock from all areas of the globe. They will come not just from Britain
04:29but France, Germany, Italy, all areas of Europe but also the States, Canada, New Zealand,
04:35Australia. And everyone is included. You've got the young ones, let's say the early 20s
04:40who have sort of been brought up with it and then you've got, let's say, women later on
04:44into their 40s and 50s and even 60s who remember Bridget Jones from the books.
04:49We can all relate to Bridget in some way ourselves. Whether it is our love life, our
05:03career not being quite where we want it to be, not being as smart as other people deem
05:08us or conceive us to be. Maybe it's our relationship with our parents or relationship with a boss
05:14or maybe just because we can't quite get into those genes like we used to be able to.
05:20The cushion can't be more than 40 centimetres from the floor for Ricky. Did you have sex last night?
05:30Yes, I did. Okay, I did. I had a full night of utterly mind-blowing sex with the tree-rescuing
05:39rubbish expert Adonis who might be slightly younger probably and it was amazing!
05:47Okay, so what?
05:53Helen took what used to be the comedic side relief character and made her the main character
06:00and Bridget, she shows that flawed funny women are really far more interesting than those
06:07pious morally upstanding characters and they're more enduring and they're more fun.
06:17On the left! On the left!
06:24She is just one of those characters that will get, you know, maybe forgotten about for a
06:30little bit then picked up again by, you know, every generation or so. Because she is, she's
06:36like a Jo, she's like an Elizabeth, she's like, you know, one of those just enduring
06:41heroines who captures society at the time, but somehow has a timeless quality.
06:48Can you survive? I think so.
06:50It's not enough to survive, you've got to live.
06:53Was that the Delo love, huh?
06:55Just Harry Styles, I think.
07:05Now that is what I call a rebrand.
07:08Did you have sex?
07:09Did you have sex?
07:10Did you have sex last night?
07:11Yes, I did. I had a full night of utterly mind-blowing sex and it was amazing!
07:24Bridget Jones, it's time to live.
07:40It's time to live.
