Who put the big light on??
Welcome back to Rom-Com Season with Sadhbh McLoughlin.
This week, I’m ranking the best interiors in 90s and 00s rom-coms, from the cosiest apartments and houses to the dream offices we all wanted to work in. We’re talking Bridget Jones’s Diary, You’ve Got Mail, The Devil Wears Prada, and more, plus why these sets feel so cosy, what’s happened to the lamplit, lived-in look and who turned the big light on??

Best Rom-Coms Ever: The First Annual Rom-Com Awards
Welcome to the first annual Rom-Com Awards with Sadhbh McLoughlin.

From Clueless and Legally Blonde to Bridget Jones’s Diary You’ve Got Mail, this episode argues that rom-coms are underrated art, not guilty pleasures, and hands out the trophies the Oscars never will.
