I expected this to be quite funny, relatively enjoyable.... But never ever did I expect to be seriously belly laughing from start until finish .. (apart from a sad bit towards the end). Rene Zelwegger and Hugh Grant are both on excellently top form, with hysterically funny lines and delivery that will have you on the floor. Some old faces from the previous three Bridget Jones movies, again all on top form and back in character. So impressed that the writers and producers have managed to pull off yet another winner, and I genuinely think I enjoyed it more than the other three, and I loved especially 1&2. The most enjoyable 2 hours I've spend in a cinema in a long time. Thank you all.

Excellent first episode. Very quick, very funny, very sarcastic.

Great acting by all, especially Karen Gillan and Hugh Bonneville. Very topical issue, male tv presenter, well-known and well-loved, overheard making sexist joke at a wedding after a few drinks. "It was sexist - not misogynist" says our hero.. It hits Twitter and goes nuclear and things start to unravel for him. Gets right into the storyline immediately, while introducing all the other very entertaining characters. Very watchable and potentially addictive. A real insight into journalistic spin.

Good chemistry between (the quite paranoid) Douglas (Hugh Bonneville) and his much younger, female, gorgeous (Scottish - of course) co presenter Madeline (Karen Gillan) who then inadvertently drops him further in it by re-tweeting the tweet while attempting to defend him. The utterly brilliant Alex Kingston plays Douglas' very dramatic, high-maintenance newspaper editor wife Sheila, who's clearly jealous of his relationship with Madeline and enjoys stirring things up. Claudia the daughter, plays the typical teenage daughter "are you keeping something secret? And don't lie - I've already got anxiety today". Looking forward to how this develops.
