One of the greatest British rom-coms of all time is on BBC1 this weekend, with its first two sequels airing on the nights afterwards.
Bridget Jones's Diary on BBC1
Back in 2001, Renée Zellweger put on a surprisingly convincing British accent to star in Bridget Jones's Diary, the film adaptation of Helen Fielding's best-selling novel. The American Oscar-winner plays a 32-year-old single woman who ends up dating both Colin Firth and Hugh Grant's characters to comic effect.
The much-loved film earned Zellweger a Best Actress Academy Award nomination and has become a huge part of English pop culture. Unsurprisingly, the critical and box office hit has spawned three sequels to date.
Sequels airing on consecutive nights
The original film was followed by Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason (2004), Bridget Jones's Baby (2016) and most recently Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy (2025).
In fact, the first three films are on one night after each other on BBC1 starting with Bridget Jones's Diary at 10:20pm on Saturday, followed by Bridget Jones: The Edge of Reason at 10:30pm on Sunday and Bridget Jones's Baby at 10:40pm on Monday.
And if you want to complete the quadrilogy with Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy, it's currently streaming on NOW.
