Bridget Jones' diary was chicklit then chickflick loosely inspired by Pride and Prejudice (long suffering father, batty mother desperate to marry off her daughterv and it's own Mr Darcy played in the film by the divine Mr Firth). Bridget has become a synonym (and heroine for) thirty something single women... especially those who drink too much chardonnay and are tormented by smug married friends.... ahem..
