Bernard’s Watch
Over lunch the other day, the staff in the FemaleFirst office got chatting about the TV shows we use to love as a kid, I mean everything from the High School likes of the kids in Sweet Valley High and Saved By The Bell, to the super power stories of Sabrina The Teenage Witch, The Secret Life Of Alex Mac and Bernard’s Watch.
It got me thinking about all the programmes I used to love watching on CITV and CBBC when I was younger, and I’ve decided to take a break from music to give you a quick reminder, and see if you loved the shows too, coming up over the next few days are a reminder of the shows we all used to love.
One of the few UK shows in my list is the epic Bernard's Watch, the story of a young boy who can stop time with a magical pocket watch.
You have no idea how much I wanted this watch, and even now I often say; “how good would it be if I had ‘Bernard’s Watch’? I mean, I could stop time when my alarm went off on a morning and go to work whenever I fancied, or go to a gig, freeze the show and kiss my favourite rockstar on the lips… creepy? Okay I’ll stop.
The programme followed a young boy who was always late, until a postman gave him a "magic watch" which could stop time, providing he didn’t use it to commit crimes or be greedy. Every episode focused on Bernard or someone he'd lent the watch to facing a problem or simply doing day to day stuff and trying to sort it out, using the watch.
Brilliant eh? I still want one even now… Keep your eyes peeled for another show at the same time tomorrow, and an update on what happened to our favourite characters will be coming soon!
