Calling all Bridget Jones fans! We’re giving you the chance to put your questions to Helen Fielding who is joining us for a webchat on Thursday 27 October between 9 and 10pm.
Bridget Jones’s Baby: The Diaries is the latest installment charting the life of this literary phenomenon. Everyone who joins the webchat will be entered into a draw to win one of two SIGNED copies of Bridget Jones’s Baby: The Diaries.

Helen is one of the country’s greatest comic writers. Bridget Jones’s Baby is her sixth book and she is part of the screenwriting team on the three films. We're really honoured that she's agreed to give us her time on Thursday from her home in Los Angeles, so please do come along and join the chat. If you’re unable to make that time, feel free to post up a question in advance to this thread.

please note the webchat has been postponed. We're hoping it will take place next Wednesday (3 November) between 9 and 10pm. We have posted up a statement from Helen's team in the thread below.

We're sorry to say that we're going to have to postpone tomorrow's webchat until next Wednesday. Helen and her team have asked us to post up the following statement:

“Sadly Kevin Curran, the Simpsons Writer and father of Helen’s young children, died yesterday after a long illness. Helen is thus unable to do tomorrow’s interview and needs to be with her children. She sends her huge apologies and asks for your understanding.”

We've sent our condolences and love to Helen and her family from us all at Mumsnet.

We'll keep you updated on timings for the rescheduled webchat next week.

Can I ask you our standard Mumsnet questions that we ask all authors?

Which childhood book most inspired you?

What was the last book you gave someone as a gift?

Which book are you hoping to get this Christmas?

And finally (v excited to hear this) can you describe the room where you wrote Bridget Jones's Baby?

Sadly, that brings us to the end of the webchat. Thanks SO much Helen for joining us tonight and for entertaining us over the last hour. It's been such fun and we're really grateful to you for taking time out of your schedule. Well done on getting through on the tech front - you soon got into the swing! Now you're familiar with the process, we'd love to invite you to join us again in the future. Until then, thanks again and have a very happy Christmas. Xmas Smile

@MinesAGin

Rachel, Q2, part 3, makes no sense if we're already a member.

Will mark that up to the survey team - thanks for pointing it out.
