the original newspaper columns that\u00a0led to the first book date from 1995 &#8211;\u00a0but Helen Fielding has revived her periodically. \u00a0Presumably this film is aimed at the same audience who\u00a0saw the original films,\u00a0who are not\u00a0exactly an\u00a0audience overly served by the film industry, but this has\u00a0franchise pedigree attached. \u00a0<em>Bridget Jones&#8217;s Baby<\/em> is based on the column&#8217;s 2005-6 revival rather than the third novel proper,\u00a0<em>Bridget Jones: Mad About The Boy &#8211; <\/em>but for obvious reasons, you could hardly\u00a0skip over the columns. \u00a0(Also,\u00a0<em>Mad About the\u00a0Boy\u00a0<\/em>starts with Bridget\u00a0as a single parent in her fifties, and try selling\u00a0<em>that<\/em> to\u00a0the film industry.)<\/p>\n<p>This is the second time\u00a0Ellie\u00a0Goulding has contributed a song to a soundtrack album. \u00a0The last time it was\u00a0<em>Fifty Shades of Grey<\/em> and frankly, there&#8217;s not a vast\u00a0difference in style, which just goes to show how a half decent tune\u00a0plus a\u00a0set of vague cliches about the power of love will serve for virtually any purpose.<\/p>\n<p><strong>29. \u00a0Craig David &amp;
