From the guide:
A 10 News Special. Bridget Jones is back! As Mad About the Boy hits theatres, we explore Bridget’s enduring appeal across generations. We chat with Renee Zellweger and revisit iconic moments.
Maybe a sit down with Angela Bishop? Sounds like it’s a paid ad.
I know that all networks air a 30 minute ad (aka a "behind the scenes’ special) of an upcoming movie. But since this is branded a 10 News Special - no doubt it would be an interview from Angela Bishop, with some “exclusive clips” from the movie/
Honestly, I don’t mind it - helps promote the news brand as well as the movie.
Mad About Bridget Jones. Airs Friday, 14 February At 8.30pm On 10 And 10 Play.
To celebrate the release of Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy , now showing in cinemas across the country, join us this Valentine’s Day for a 10 News First Special that looks back at the franchise which all began with one woman and her diary.
For more than two decades, 10’s Entertainment Editor Angela Bishop has been on the front lines of Bridget Jones fandom, interviewing Renée Zellweger from the moment she first stepped into Bridget’s iconic heels in 2001.
Now, as Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy arrives in cinemas, Angela and Renée reunite for an exclusive deep dive into the character that defined a generation.
From the initial controversy over a Texan playing Britain’s beloved everywoman to the enduring charm that keeps Bridget relevant today, this special unpacks why we’ve all been a little bit mad about Bridget for years.
With cast members old and new joining in on the fun, Mad About Bridget Jones is packed with nostalgia, laughter, and a few surprises along the way.
From diary entries to big undies, reindeer jumpers to blue soup, revisit the moments that made us fall in love with Bridget all over again. This Valentine’s Day, celebrate the return of cinema’s favorite imperfect heroine in this heartwarming TV special.
Mad About Bridget Jones. Friday, 14 February At 8.30pm. Only On 10 And 10 Play.
10 has brought forward this episode to tonight, coinciding with Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy and Captain America: Brave New World hitting Australian cinemas today.
This episode will air next Thursday (February 20) after Gogglebox.
UPDATED 14/2/2025
Sort of half expected them to maybe intro or close the special with some studio shots on the Sydney, using the big video wall or something.
Nice little nod to Paramount+ at the end, Ange finished with “Still haven’t seen the first three movies? Don’t get your knickers in a twist, all three are streaming now on Paramount+” with a generic title card shown to close it out.
Not a bad little special.
10 should definitely consider more of these, nice little specials.

A little unfortunate 10 don’t have the FTA rights to the films, would’ve been the perfect tie-in with the special.
Coincidentally, Seven have been running them, as part of their NBC-U relationship.
10 has pulled FBI: Most Wanted from the line-up effective immediately.
A repeat episode of NCIS will air in its slot
New episodes or old ones?
Scroll up a few posts and you’d see 10’s schedule which shows they were showing the current season.
Probably wouldn’t be noteworthy if they’d pulled repeat episodes from the schedule either.
CBS has renewed Elsbeth and Fire Country for new seasons.
Best news all morning. Now a ghosts renewal and the next 12 months of viewing is sorted
Good news, Ghosts will be back too.
All 3 NCIS also renewed
