This page tells you exactly what Castradar.uk is, how our film and TV guides work, and how you can trust what you read here. Use the sections below to find who runs the site, what we cover, how our editorial process keeps things accurate, and how we are funded — all clearly explained so you can use our guides with confidence.
What is Castradar.uk and what do we cover?
Castradar.uk is a UK-focused film and television entertainment guide that helps you find cast lists, character guides, filmographies, streaming availability, release schedules, behind-the-scenes explainers and celebrity coverage tied directly to screen work. We are not a general news site or a politics publication — everything we publish is about helping British audiences decide what to watch and understand who is in it.
Our coverage breaks down into clear categories: movie casts (every credited actor with character names), TV series guides (episode-by-episode cast for current and returning shows), filmographies (full career credits for actors, directors and writers), streaming guides (which platform holds what, with UK-specific availability), release schedules (cinema and streaming for the month ahead), behind-the-scenes explainers (how scenes were made, visual effects, production stories) and screen-linked celebrity coverage (awards, red carpets, press events that relate directly to film and TV work). We also publish industry updates about film and television — commissioning news, broadcaster announcements and casting changes — but always in service of the viewer who wants to know what is coming next.
How does our editorial process work?
Every piece of content on Castradar.uk is reviewed by a human editor before publication. Our cast lists and credits are verified against official sources — broadcaster press packs, studio production notes, IMDb credits and direct confirmation from representatives where possible. No automated tool can publish without an editor signing off.
For sensitive stories that involve privacy, potential reputational harm or disputed credits, our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead Patrick Nolan reviews the material before it goes live. You can read our full editorial policy at /editorial-policy/ and our fact-checking standards at /fact-checking-policy/. We also maintain a corrections policy and a complaints procedure should anything need fixing.
How this works in practice
Suppose you are trying to find the full cast of the latest series of Shetland on BBC One. You visit Castradar.uk and open our series guide. You see every credited actor, their character name, which episodes they appear in, and whether the series is available on iPlayer or other streaming platforms. That guide was compiled by our TV editor Isabelle Knight, checked against the BBC’s official press pack by Patrick Nolan, and reviewed by managing editor Adam Pryor before publication. If a credit changes later, we update the guide and note the correction. That same process applies to a film like Paddington in Peru — cast, crew, release date, streaming availability and an explainer about the production — all verified before you read it.
Who is responsible for the site?

How is Castradar.uk funded?
We are funded through display advertising, affiliate links (including streaming and ticketing affiliates), commercial partnerships, sponsored content and newsletter sponsorships. All sponsored material is clearly labelled, and affiliate links are disclosed. Commercial relationships never determine editorial conclusions — our cast guides and recommendations are based on what is accurate and useful for viewers, not on who pays us. You can read our full /advertising-affiliate-disclosure/ and /ownership-funding/ pages for complete transparency.
We also use digital tools for research, editing, formatting, metadata and headline options, but all content is reviewed by a human editor before publication. AI must never fabricate quotes, sources, interviews, bylines, cast credits or author experience. Our /ai-automation-policy/ explains this in detail.
How can you contact us?
The best general contact email is hello@castradar.uk — use it for questions, feedback or anything not covered elsewhere. We also maintain function emails for specific departments: editorial, newsdesk, tips, press, tv, film, casts, streaming, reviews, corrections, complaints, factcheck, legal, compliance, privacy, advertising, partnerships, publisher, copyright, affiliate and sponsored. Our full /contact/ page has the complete list.
In short
Castradar.uk is a reliable, human-edited film and TV guide for UK audiences. We help you find accurate cast lists, streaming options and release dates, and we are transparent about who we are, how we work and how we are funded.
