Since the program’s judgment in 1997, he has hardly stopped and has been chain the services. In the early 2000s, the most trendy clubs in the capital called him to vibrate the nostalgic fiber of fans of the fans Club Dorothée. “Of course there is second degree, but that’s good, it is necessary, and then self -mockery, tells Bernard Minet. But there is no wickedness because this era of childhood is very important.“
Bernard Minet embodies part of the inheritance of Club Dorothée. This tribute to TF1 comes to reconnect, almost 30 years later, relations cut brutally after a decade of antenna on the first channel. “Dorothée does not keep her revenge at all, says the musician. They had a ten -year contract, it stopped, but it is for reasons that have nothing to do with Dorothée or work. If you are fired and the program continues, it must be very hard. There, it was an end, an end of an incredible adventure. ”

I had the impression that I participated in the education of children with the concerts: it was live, no playback, the sound of Johnny Hallyday, the sound system of Madonna, He recalls, before paying a vibrant tribute to the host. Thank you Dorothée, a great television professional, she was just working, it was perfect. It’s crazy! “
