Does anyone know how old this Bernard is in the series? - BlackWidower 02:39, 25 December 2006 (UTC)[reply]

The philosophical bit about bernard being a genius instead, surely many episodes disprove this. There's one where he has to heal a broken leg, and hangs around for 3 months in the space of 2 days. Theres also one where someone is falling and he moves a bouncy castle under them. Also when he moves a grenade out to a field before it explodes. I don't carew how clever you are, he either had a watch or was superhuman too.

The whole healing-a-leg-in-two-days episode rather puzzled me, young though I was, and it is still a problem I wonder about occasionally whilst bored.

The old man he was freeloading off had moved about and seemingly cooked whole meals in the time between when Bernard froze time and unfroze it
Said Ancient Geezer had three months of food in his cupboards
Previously mentioned retired gentleman was always ready to give him food, despite the fact that the kid would appear in his kitchen, take the food, vanish, then appear again with the dirty plate ready for more food.
If time was passing on his body but on nothing else, how was he able to move objects? Was time passing on his clothes as well? Did this mean that anything that was connected to his body at the time of clicking the watch stayed in time while everything else froze? What did this mean for the ground he was standing on?!

I was, I must admit, a strange child, but those questions have still bugged me to this day. :3

Oh, and let us not forget the episode where he put lots of different hats on the milkman to make the fat woman fall in love with him! Mwa 02:51, 22 July 2007 (UTC)[reply]

And there was the one where he kept making garden gnomes dissappear and reappear in front of two men robbing his house to scare them. But anyway, this whole philosophical bit is a stupid way of trying to put ideas and hidden representation into kids shows. It was simply about a boy who had a watch that could stop time.Wild ste (talk) 16:19, 9 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

Wasn't his best friend called Karen? Very long time since I last saw this show on TV... 201.213.144.58 00:13, 6 June 2007 (UTC)[reply]

Whoever wrote that phisophical section needs some kind of knighthood. Brilliant stuff! 77.75.187.116 (talk) —Preceding comment was added at 12:42, 6 May 2008 (UTC)[reply]

I'm a long-time fan of Bernard and his watch, so I think it should be mentioned that the more recent version (Awful, wasn't it?) was simply called Bernard and was presumably created by different people, considering its very different presentation. Perhaps some more information could be included here, for example the millennium special featuring Leslie Grantham, the supporting characters, the final episode and the presentation of the show. I couldn't do this myself, though, as I can't remember all this clearly enough. I need the DVDs. 80.7.181.120 (talk) 16:43, 11 August 2008 (UTC)[reply]

"Stupid"

"young boy" "stop time" "magical watch". "young boy" "postman" "magical powers" "watches" "hated" "stopped time" "touching" "would not freeze".

Why is "everything" in quotation marks for no apparent "reason"?

"wasteman"

Main actor David Peachey

I have no idea how to work wikipedia, but I think someone ought to change the link to David Peachey which directs to an Australian sportsman. They share a name but are not the same person, quite clearly. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 87.113.248.237 (talk) 19:48, 7 February 2011 (UTC)[reply]

New series?

It says in the article that a new series is coming out in 2011. There are no sources for this so until this is sourced I am deleting that text. Nominal (talk) 12:18, 22 August 2011 (UTC)[reply]

Filming location for school

The name of the school is currently given as South Wilford CofE Primary School in both the first and second runs. Actually the schools look completely different on the outside which is more likely to be on location than the inside which is more likely to be studio sets. In the first run an A-Z map of Nottingham is seen in one episode so it is likely the whole of the first run is set in Nottinghamshire. In the second run the school looks new and is likely to be in Yorkshire as that run of the series was produced by Granada Yorkshire or something like that.

Original airdates for reboot

I would like to draw attention to the "New series" episodes which are currently claimed to have been first aired in 2004 and 05. I have been watching every episode online recently and discovered that the episodes in the Carlton produced first series bear 2003 as the copyright year in the credits and the Granada produced second series bears 2004 in the credits. I think it is more likely they were first aired in those years but I cannot find any reliable sources to check. Then again, according to the tables in List of Bernard's Watch episodes, they were aired early in the year (starting in January) and look like they are set in the summer so they could have been produced in the calendar years before their original airdates.
