Bernard's Watch

I remember Bernard's watch coming on Citv ages ago,thinking and what a good programme that it was. It was original,well-written and included some excellent acting from David Peachey as Bernard. The plot line was basically about a young boy,around 10 or 11 who found a watch that stops time.We saw him come to terms with this,and how he used his power for good.However,trouble came for Bernard when it seemed that he's not the only one who knows about his secret... Bernard's watch is a fun programme for young and old alike,however it doesn't air any more on Citv.There has recently been a new series which i have to admit was superb for the modern day children. It involved the same idea just with other characters and had greater effects. And Bernard was more craft and cheeky.The original will reign!If you can find episodes of this then i heartily recommend watching it as it is a great family programme and will have you thinking 'what would i do if i could stop time?...'.

Growing up in the 90's, this show peaked at my teenage years and I just couldn't get enough of this show! It was one of the best children's shows of the late 90's. I'm surprised it ran for 7 series (I tend to exclude the series that starred a whole new 'Bernard'). I do hate it when the original actor leaves and they bring in a whole new kid to play the lead role - it just never feels the same. But I think we all would like to have lived the life that Bernard lived - to be able to freeze time and have all the time in the world to do whatever we wanted.

'Bernard's Watch' really was a show of it's own. I've never seen anything like this. And huge credit goes to David Peachey for his role as Bernard. Previous reviews about the show and Bernard's infamous saying "Oh!" isn't something I noticed throughout the series to be honest. I was always so fascinated by the different stories of each episode & how they were told, and the whole magic of the Watch. You could almost imagine that the Watch was real and actually stopped time. Don't we all wish we had one?

I'm currently revisiting the series and watching them endlessly, it really does take me back to my childhood days and how I now realise that in some ways, I often think, "Where has the time gone" and how I wish that time was still the same.

I recently watched this again, and at 33. Haha. Oh man it was so cheesy. But what wonderful memories I had. Took me back to the best time ever. I was the same age as the actor who played bernard. Well from 1997 - 2001 was the best ones. It failed when it changed the actors. Especially bernard. Imagine this being made now. But an older bernard. And less cheesy. But I don't mind it in all honesty. But I think it would be good. Seeing the 90s style and outfits I'd wear was just a flash back into time. They played a game on an episode I forgot about. Happy families. Guessing the cards your opponents had. I'd gladly go back to the 90s any day. Children shows ain't as magical as this one was.

i remembered watching Bernard's Watch. Bernard had a gold watch and everytime he pressed it everything froze, including the people such as his friends and others. I give this programme a not so bad score of 6 out of 10.

Bernards watch was really good as I remember watching it when I was younger.....But that was when I was younger In todays terms Bernards Watch is possibly the most boring children's programme going (shortly followed after SPOT) The Person playing Bernard must have woken up one morning thinking..."I'm a loser for agreeing to be any part of this low budget production". Why does he never speak when he did he sounded weird (its the quiet ones you have to watch out for) However I wouldn't be surprised if CITV made a come back sequel as they will show anything these days

IF I HAD THAT WATCH I WOULD BE DANGEROUS
