This programme is fascinating and exciting. It is light hearted and when Bernard Beasley is recast, it is just as good as it is before hand. Both boys who play Bernard act him well, and the bully in this TV show called Ms Savage gets her comeuppance for giving Bernard and Nathan a hard time. The villain called Mr Rattle is punished as well. Although this TV show is very diverse, for example Bernard lets girls burrow his watch, it isn't too politically correct because there is a time when Bernard and other boys say "Boys are good at scoring goals Girls are good at playing with dolls''. But girls in this episode are Sexist too and when boys play against girls in this episode it is a draw, so it gives the message that boys and girls can play football equally well. One episode in this TV show is Racist, when a black girl is made to sound like an alien, and I don't like that. Also in the episode which shows Mr Rattle, Bernard is threatened in a way which is horrible to watch and sometimes the script of this TV show isn't very good. But this programme gives a lot of information about how watches work in this programme and the postman who gives Bernard a watch is a nice man. The second Bernard is less nice than the first one but episodes which feature the second Bernard still give a message that bullying is wrong. Nicolette bullies Bernard and Nathan but doesn't get away with it. Some of this TV show is funny and this programme gives good messages like in the episode where Sam's aunt is badly affected by worrying about things, she learns how to stop worrying so much. In one episode a character doesn't get the chance to watch a band performing because she injures herself which is too grim a thing to happen in this programme. But it is fun to watch time being stopped though and there are a lot of different storylines for this programme. Also I like how even when Bernard is recast, his name is still Bernard Beasley, there is consistency there but he has different parents, which means new characters. There is an episode of Bernard's Watch about a hotel, which gives a happy feeling because it seems like a really nice place where very nice people work, and in the episode where Bernard's granddad is throwing darts, he is able to do it fine when he feels confident about it, which is a good message to give. I don't like how at the end of this episode there is no explanation of how he can escape from a dog, but overall this programme is very good. It has good theme tunes and most teachers shown in it seem very nice.
