This site shuts next month. Bye, then!

Sadly, as part of the restructuring of the BBC's online activities, this site is closing at the end of the month.

We're trying to find alternative bbc.co.uk homes for some sites, but much of the content will be removed from the servers, and that which remains will not be maintained.

We'd like to thank all our users (700,000 of you last month!), and to everyone who expressed an opinion of us in the BBC's Online Audience survey (we nearly came top - beaten only by those pesky News people).

The team have had a wonderful six years looking after the site, and hope you continue to enjoy the BBC's online offerings.

PS: Don't worry about the Doctor Who site. It's safe.

There's a message on the front page of the BBC Cult website saying that the site will remain online for the time-being but no updates will be made to the content. The message goes onto say that new locations are being found for as much of the content as possible.

clearly you missed the very large goodbye message on the site underneath the fabulous conveyor belt of tv screens with only k9 flying into the sky and no falling into the abyss with the others
