Bridget Jones tops favourite bed scene poll

A bedroom scene from 2001 hit 'Bridget Jones Diary' has topped a poll of the UK’s ten favourite bed scenes.

The moment where the hapless singleton, played by Renee Zellwegger, answers the phone, saying "Bridget Jones, wanton sex goddess, with very bad man between her thighs... Dad . . . Hi . . . ” has been voted the best bed scene, beating other memorable favourites from films such as 'Basic Instinct' and 'Charlie And The Chocolate Factory'.

Second place went to Basic Instinct’s ice-pick murder scene, while the portrayal of a possessed teenager lying on a bed in the 1970s horror film The Exorcist came in third.

Fourth in the poll, commissioned by bed manufacturer Silentnight on over 3,000 people, was all four grandparents in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory lying top-to-toe in bed, followed by the Pink Ladies sleep over and the rendition of Sandra Dee in 1960s hit flick Grease.

“The survey results were surprising as none of the bed scenes actually involved sleeping. That goes to show that people are starting to associate their beds with a lot of other activities,” The Sun quoted a Silentnight spokesman, as saying.
