Introducing Cult Britannia To Kasterborous

Christian Cawley is a writer at Kasterborous Doctor Who News and Reviews - All the latest Doctor Who news and reviews with our weekly podKast, features and interviews, and a long-running forum.

Over the past few weeks we’ve been working behind the scenes to make some changes here at Kasterborous, a few added bonuses that will give you more to read.

You may recall that we ran a reader survey, which we’ve used to assess your thoughts on a number of topics concerning Kasterborous. Many things we seemed to be doing right, but one question split you – whether or not we should add non-Doctor Who content. Many said no, only for the following questions “what shows should we feature” to completely contradict this!

So, we’ve come to a decision. Previously, Torchwood and Sarah Jane Adventures aside, we’ve been wholly focussed on Doctor Who. At one point we considered Big Finish to be no more than a spinoff too, which is clearly barmy. This narrow focus, however, has been to our detriment, and at times we’ve ignored the most obvious things like Sherlock and Broadchurch.

From now on, we’re changing the rationale of Kasterborous a little, smudging the lines between our beloved show and some others. This doesn’t mean that we’re turning into SFX or Cultbox, rather our focus will remain on Doctor Who but we’ll occasionally bring in other shows only where there is a strong connection through a key cast member, producer or writer of TV or audio Doctor Who.

However, there is a caveat to all of this. Of late, Kasterborous’ sister ship Cult Britannia has been left drifting, due to the sheer effort required in managing Kasterborous and some other projcts I’m involved in. The result of this was to either let her flounder, or bring her into port, as it were. So today, ladies and gentlemen, I ask you to welcome Cult Britannia to Kasterborous. A whole new section has been added for this website, and the URL www.cultbritannia.co.uk will now forward to www.kasterborous.com/category/cultbritannia/. This can be considered a sort of “sub-blog”, where you’ll find some very interesting posts, and it is sort of personal to me too. It’s a sort of dry run for a new project on the site too, but more on that next time.

What this means is that when searching Kasterborous you might stumble across something that isn’t related to Doctor Who. Don’t worry. This is to be expected. However, going forward, any content that isn’t directly Doctor Who related – material that fits the description mentioned above – will be posted under Cult Britannia.

As a result of this migration, the old Cult Britannia is closed, for the short term at least. I’d like to thank everyone who has helped with the site over the years, Thomas W Sychalski, Barnaby Eaton-Jones, Daren Thomas Curley, Nick May, Hamish Crawford and everyone else (it’s quiet a long list). All of you are welcome to contribute Cult Britannia-style content here at Kasterborous, and even Doctor Who articles too…

If this is not entirely clear, worry not. It will all become evident in time. It certainly won’t impact on the quality of quantity of Doctor Who content that we bring you, something that is set to increase further in the coming weeks…
