Bert is a Swedish television series with 12 episodes, based on the Bert Diaries by Anders Jacobsson and Sören Olsson, and originally airing over SVT each Saturday evening during the period of 1 October-17 December 1994.[1] It was directed by Tomas Alfredson and Svante Kettner. The theme song was performed by Lill-Babs, and called "Älskade ängel". Another song regaining revival with the TV series was Sven-Olof Sandberg's 1938 success "Är det så här när man är kär".

The plot is based on the Bert Diaries, but just like in the comics, the story opens in the 6th grade, not the 5th like in the books.

About the series

The square often seen in the series is in real life Central Årsta in Southern Stockholm, while the apartment buildings were shot in Hagalund. When the Heman Hunters perform, Martin Andersson (portraying Bert) sings in-universe, while the recorded voice is from Oliver Loftéen (portraying Åke) . A minor role was played by Sarah Dawn Finer.

Lill-Erik was originally intended to domesticate an elk in the episode "Fina, fina Paulina" , but when domesticated elk was around, he instead domesticate an elephant on the run from a circus.[13]
