If you spot something in a cast list that looks wrong, discover a streaming platform has dropped a film we haven’t noted, or hear about a surprise casting announcement before it hits the trades, we want to know. This page explains how to tip us, what makes a good tip for a film and TV guide, and what happens after you send it in. Your tip helps every reader who relies on accurate cast credits, release dates and streaming availability.
What makes a good tip for our film and television guide?
The most useful tips are those that directly improve the reference value of Castradar.uk for British audiences. We focus on verified details about screen work, not rumours or general gossip.
Concrete examples include miscredited cast members where an actor is listed but did not appear, or a missing name from a filmography. We also value streaming availability changes such as a title moving from Netflix to BBC iPlayer without notice, or a new series cast announcement before the broadcaster confirms the full ensemble. Release date changes, especially for UK cinema and television premieres, are vital. Returning actors joining a second or third season, and festival cast news from events such as the BFI London Film Festival or the Edinburgh International Film Festival, are also high-priority tips.
How do I send you a tip?
You can reach us directly at hello@castradar.uk. That inbox goes straight to our editorial team. For subject-specific tips, we also monitor hello@castradar.uk for breaking announcements, hello@castradar.uk for official releases, hello@castradar.uk for television series and episode guides, and hello@castradar.uk for cinema releases and filmography corrections.
Please include as much context as you can: the exact title, the platform or broadcaster, the names involved, and a link to a reliable source if you have one. A screengrab or timestamp is helpful for streaming or credit issues. You do not need to write a full report; a clear sentence or two is enough for us to begin checking.
What happens after you receive my tip?
Every tip goes to Patrick Nolan, our Standards & Fact-Checking Lead, whose team verifies the detail against primary sources. That means checking cast credits against on-screen credits, broadcaster press packs, or reputable industry databases. We never publish a correction or an update based on an anonymous claim alone.
Read our full fact-checking policy for the detailed process. If we find the tip is correct, we update the relevant guide, filmography or streaming listing, and we log the correction. You can also see how we handle mistakes in our corrections policy.
Will you keep my name confidential?
Yes, if you request it. We treat all tipsters as confidential by default unless you explicitly tell us you would like to be credited. We will not publish your name, email address or any identifying detail without your permission. This applies even if the tip leads to a significant correction or a major update to a popular guide.
The only exception is if a tip raises a legal or compliance issue that requires us to disclose information to our legal team or regulators, and even then we do so only after notifying you where possible. Our editorial policy covers our approach to sources and confidentiality.
How this works in practice
Let us walk through a realistic scenario. A reader noticed that the cast list on our page for The Responder season two did not include Adelayo Adedayo as Rachel Hargreaves, even though she appeared in every episode. They sent a single line to hello@castradar.uk with the series title, the missing name, and a screengrab from the BBC iPlayer credits. Our fact-checking team confirmed the credit against the original broadcast and the production company’s cast sheet. Within 24 hours, the guide was updated and a note was added to the correction log. That is the kind of specific, actionable tip that keeps our cast guides trustworthy.
Another example: a regular viewer noticed that Slow Horses season four had moved from a September to an October release date on Apple TV+, but our schedule still showed the old date. They emailed hello@castradar.uk with a link to the official announcement. Our TV editor verified the change and updated the release schedule that same afternoon. Every tip, large or small, improves accuracy for everyone.
