This is Bernard and this is his watch. Bernard's watch can stop time and eveything moving in time. But its always confused me. 1 - When Bernard stops his watch, does the whole universe stop. Or just the earth? 2- Different planets have different time scales - does Bernard's watch only stop earth time or all time...its a 12 hour clock after all with minutes and everything. 3 - Once stopped is Bernard the only living and moving thing in the whole universe...even the bits we don't know about. Plus, all the weather stops so how does he breath if time has stopped everything,even gases, from moving? 4 - When the clock is stopped does Bernard age? Therefore could he stop it for 70 years and grow to be all old and hairy and then start it again and be older then his mum? or does he not age? Why! Why is this so confusing?

That isn't Bernard! Bernard has blonde hair I know..this is the orignal Bernard who looks a bit like Sean Maguire to me. Anyway, he was only in the pilot and it was the only picture i could find.

Bernards Watch is ace. It's very middle class.
Bernard is a timetravelling do-gooder but I've never stopped to think about the physics of the whole thing because it's a kids TV programme
If I had Bernards watch, I'd spend about 3 weeks stopping time just when somebody is about to sit down, move the chair out of the way then let time continue.
This sort of thing would keep me going for ages.
1. Dunno
2. Dunno
3. I don't think Bernard is the only thing that doesn't stop. I'm pretty sure he stopped time once with a girl. This was very wrong.
4. When Bernard stops his watch, time stops. I think this means that he won't age, no matter how long he stays in frozen time because seconds/minutes/hours/days/weeks/years don't pass because Bernard stops time. Or something
If Bernards Watch caused you this much trouble, for the love of christ avoid Donnie Darko. Or, if you really want to get into time travel, read the Philosophy Of Time Travel by Roberta Sparrow
I'm going for a lie down now. My head hurts.

Isn't there an episode where he wants to go on holiday, but he cuts his arm on his bike. Anway his Mum goes... Mum - Bernard! Your arm is rank! You can't go swimming like that or have any fun on holiday otherwise it will get even ranker and you'll die. Bernard - But Mum.. Mum - No buts Bernard! NO FUN!So he stops his watch and his cut heals! That means time must have passed for it to heal!

Oh, I don't know what this is I love middle class children's programmes. I liked the moondial thing, that was possibly the most middle class children's programme ever. I would like one of those watches when I'm late for work.
