Beauty and the Beast
Scripts and Transcription Project
The goal of this
website is making available
online the scripts and transcriptions of all the episodes of Beauty and
the Beast.
Each episode transcription will be in English and
contain the exact dialogue used in the aired version. This
would be helpful for a number of reasons:
- as a reference for fanfic writers
- as a help to those fans whose native language is not English
- as a guide for those who don't have access to any of the
episode videos
- as a quick "fix" when you just can't get to your screen ;-)
The scripts are another very important part of the
project. We are gathering scripts of
all the episodes, each of which exists in multiple versions, as the
writers developed and adjusted the first idea into the actual
episode that was filmed. Our objective is to make available online both
the earliest versions of the scripts and the actual transcriptions of
the aired episodes (in English). Many episodes went through some
fascinating changes between their first incarnation and the final
filmed version. (As an example, look at the opening and closing scenes
of "The Watcher" in the original script.) Making the various versions
available will make it
possible for everyone to enjoy the development of our favorite show.
We chose to include PDF format for anyone interested in seeing
what the actual scripts look
like. PDF reader software is available from Adobe.
We welcome comments, questions, suggestions, and offers
of help – we need people willing to
watch the episodes and transcribe them, and people willing and able to
edit the rough transcriptions. Here is the current
situation of transcriptions. Scanned scripts are also most welcome.

It is the goal of this web site to post the exact
transcriptions of the episodes of the TV series Beauty and the Beast
(1987-1990), as well as the scripts for those episodes.
