A real ecosystem around Dorothée
In “Le Club Dorothée”, the host was surrounded by Jacky, Patrick Simpson-Jones, Ariane Carletti and François Corbier. The last two are now deceased.
It was this program which introduced the massive distribution of Japanese cartoons in France, which caused controversy due to the sometimes violent nature of some of these programs, such as “Ken the Survivor”.
