One Friday night, 24 years ago...

                                                                        Beauty and the Beast!

On September 25th, 1987, Friday night,
the Pilot of a new tv show was aired.
That show was Beauty and the Beast.
Let's celebrate the twenty-third anniversary of magic!

 

Let's celebrate the fandom:

A dream was born that night, and also a fandom: a dedicated, faithful fandom, rich in people, passion, events, creativity, generosity. Starting in 1988, the fans gathered in B&B conventions, first in USA then all over the world. Here is a timetable of those conventions.

Let's celebrate the values of the show:

One of the most intriguing aspects of the show was the Utopian underground society, appealing to hidden nostalgia of beauty, truth and good in the fans' hearts. It was symbolized by many of the show decors and settings, among the others, prominently, the costumes worn by the tunnel dwellers.
