Today marks the 20th anniversary of Buffy: The Vampire Slayer. The first episode aired March 10, 1997 and creator Joss Whedon, along with the cast, have gathered on Twitter to remember the show. 

For most of the cast it was a show that started their careers, and for the fans it was a formative part of their lives. Even now the show feels relevant, so it's no surprise it's so fondly remembered.

If you want more Buffy then we've got a big look back at the show and how it defined a generation of film and TV. There's also an interview with James Marsters who played Spike, a frankly ludicrously hard Buffy quiz you will not score well on, and an amazing look back at the reviews when the show first came out.
