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. 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 Dirares, but just like in the comics, the story opens in the 6th grade, not the 5th like in the books.
The series was released to VHS in 1995 on six VHS tapes by Sandrew film consisting of two episodes on each tape, and by Sandrew in 1999 to DVD with three discs each one consisting of four episodes, and in 2011 the entire series was released on one single DVD disc.
The home video release saw much of the music being replaced because of high costs for the rights to many of the songs.
