Browsing: Culture

The backbone of this section is an archive most sites never bother to finish: complete winners lists for long-running television shows, season by season, kept current as new series end.

That covers both sides of the Indian and British schedule – Kaun Banega Crorepati, Sa Re Ga Ma Pa L’il Champs, Dance Plus, Nach Baliye and Khatron Ke Khiladi, alongside Britain’s Got Talent and The X Factor. The value is in the completeness: every season in one table, rather than a news story about the most recent one.

The other half is screen reference. Full cast and character lists for major serials, including both adaptations of the Mahabharat, plus film round-ups and the kind of list article people arrive at from a half-remembered detail.

It is a lookup section rather than a criticism section. There is very little reviewing here and no attempt at cultural commentary – the aim is that you find the fact you came for, correctly, and leave.

For biographies of the people who appear on these shows, see People.
