​In this episode we meet Sharon Maguire, the real life Shazzer from Bridget Jones's Diary! She also directed the Bridget movies, so there's some chat about that.
 
We find out what it's like to be actual best mates with Helen Fielding, and discuss Sharon's experience of being an older mum. Then she shares a Scummy Mummy Confession that will make her husband wince.

​After that it's time for some film chat, as Helen and Ellie reveal what they thought of the Bridget Jones's Baby movie. There's lots of searing analysis of the narrative arc and mis en scene, and most importantly, we discuss who we'd "do" out of Dempsey or Darcy.

​What's the best way to cook with kids? How do you make the best Bolognese? And do Italian mamas ever just give their children chicken nuggets?
 
To answer all these questions we have actual Italians Caterina, Laura and Francesca! They are the authors of My Little Sous-Chef, a tandem cookbook that makes it easy for kids and parents to prepare food together.

​We chat about the differences between Italian and British parents, and find out what they REALLY think of our food. We discover whether it's actually worth making your own pasta, and where to find the best pizza in the world. Then, as a thank you to our Italian friends, we present a cultural exchange by making them eat pizza we cooked in a microwave.
