Why did Ben Dover change his name?

Any idea why Ben Dover changed his name to Charlie Britton?

I watched an episode of his show on TVX yesterday, here was his intro before shagging Babestation Babe Kiesha Kane:

?Right, listen up here, right?
Something is on my mind and I need to share it with you.

What the bloddy hell happened to DVD? Because I am not making them anymore, I?m not even going to put any out, because it?s rubbish, because no fucker is buying them anymore, and I will tell you why, fucking technology it is! Bloddy digital downloading internet, file sharing, fucking IPTV, I-pod MP3, it?s all bollocks!

20 years ago you couldn?t buy a porn tape for love or money, now every fucker is giving it away for nothing. How the hell did that happen?

20 years ago you had to pay Birds to shave their pussy?s because everyone wanted to see shaved pussy?s, now you?ve got to pay them to grow it back! I bet there are Lads out there today that have never shagged a Bird that has got pussy hair. They have got a fucking Tramp Stamp and a shaved minge that looks like a money box, but no fucking pubes.?

I realise that...

But why change the name of an established, well known and recognised ?brand? when the actual product is no different to what it is was in the past? The character and style of his production last night was no different to what it was before.

Ask any potential TVX subscriber to name a British male porn star and I?m sure they would come out with ?Ben Dover?.

So I will change the question to: ?Why did Ben Dover choose to create a new character and a new name??

As the management theorist Peter Drucker argued a business has only two functions - innovation and marketing. This is innovation.

I see where you're coming from though .. 'If it aint broke don't fix it'. Maybe this is a new line. The Ben Dover format will continue but this is a new format with a new character ? I don't know his stuff well enough to be able to say if it delivers on 'newness' but that's the idea, but I don't think he's retired Ben Dover.

It was broke - Ben Dover wasn't selling - that's why Lindsay stopped doing them so much.

What you are talking about is a show called Charlie Britton Exposed. It is a spin-off from a previous show called St Teenycums in which Ben Dover played a set of twins (one male one female!!) called Miss Britton who is the head teacher of a slutty all-girl academy and her evil twin brother Charlie Britton the pornographer. The female twin character also appears in St Teenycums: Nymphic Games (kind of based around the olympics and a school sports day) which aired over the summer and now Charlie Britton Exposed which is the spin off featuring only the male twin and his private porno life.

Here are the links to the first episodes of each series.
St Teenycums 1: http://webtv2.televisionx.com/watch.asp ... isionx@521
Nymphic Games 1: http://webtv2.televisionx.com/watch.asp ... isionx@706
Charlie Britton Exposed 1: http://webtv2.televisionx.com/watch.asp ... isionx@768

Charlie Britton/Miss Britton are merely characters not personas. Hope this helps! And please please check out St Teenycums and/or Nymphic Games because Ben Dover in a dress is absolutely hilarious!

Thank you for the detailed explanation Mr Mole.

I thought the name change may have been something to do with copyright but it is all clear now.

Think I will pass on watching Ben in a dress however.

Well you know the end is nigh when you hear people saying 'he's funnier as a woman!' I almost died laughing after i'd heard that
