- For decades BBC Television Centre in west London was home to some of the nations best loved programmes. But it all came to an end when the site was sold to make way for a housing and leisure development. Around 1000 flats will be created on the site and some of the old magic is set to return to the studios too. Tolu Adeoye reports.

An iconic building but the price tag is way over the top. How that estate agent can say it is a sensible level for the local community with a straight face is beyond me. Even the stars of TVC of yesteryear would struggle to afford some of those flats.
Over 600k for a one bed room flat, I wouldn't pay that even if I could afford it.
dont even know why people would ever want to buy in London, up north you could get a 7 bedroom detached house for that
With a garden and 2-4 car garage
And a swimming pool
@@danielfield2570 Northerner living in London here: London has everything, specifically as a creative industry worker London is my only real choice.
Television Centre was iconic because of what it was used for and its place in British society and history. Turning it into expensive flats and a shopping centre, only using it for a few programmes rather than as the hub of the national broadcaster, guts it of its integrity, stops it from being of any interest. It's such a crying shame.
Just be thankful they didn't demolish the three studios they already have, mainly due to their listed status for the facade of Studio TC1.
If it dosent serve the purpose anymore because of lack of demand for so many separate studios then you nay as well repurpose it or else leave it to rot. You sound like you'd rather see it crumble than be lovingly restored back to how it originally looked on the outside and used for useful purposes inside.
Now I admitte
Wonderful memories of TV center. My Dad was a BBC news and current affairs editor and I loved visiting my Dad in the club lounge when I worked I London.
Did he work with Moira Stuart

TVC sucks! NBH and MC rule!
What a shame, seems a lot of famous buildings are becoming ridiculously priced flats for the upper class. Should have left it as a television centre, probably had more appeal in it’s old original state, guess all that history has been ripped out and dumped now though. Would have agreed with this development much more if it still had ties to broadcasting. Could have been a learning campus for the university’s department of film and media or even a hub for the BFI, at least everyone would have benefited from it then opposed to just the rich.
At least there are three of the main studios still there.
It could have been 8.
They do this morning here bro!

Buckingham Palace now redevelloped into flats, some parts of the palace are going to be used for the royal family of France.
London seems to be 10x more expensive than the North. may as well invent a Southern £1 thats is worth £10 or £100 Northern Pounds!
So in 2019 the situation of Television Centre studios is thus - Studio TC2 and TC3 are now sublet to ITV Daytime and Good Morning, Britain, Lorraine, Loose Women and This Morning air in those studios. Peston and Sunday Brunch also make use of TC2, with TC3 maintaining the permanent sets for Good Morning Britain and This Morning, making it much harder to rent out this studio at weekends (virtually impossible). TC1 is the main general entertainment studio - Graham Norton, Last Leg, Jonathan Ross, QI, Russell Howard, Bake Off etc all use it, and it is a fantastic studio - shame there is not another one next door to help ease the flow.
Kind of ironic that these days most of the shows are for ITV and Channel 4. Isn't Pointless produced at TVC?
@@robalexander8065 pointless is at elstree i think
I really like the old TV station building.
How good of Television Centre. I also grew up with shows from the studio, including Blue Peter, sometimes BBC News, Dr. Who, and many more... Although, I'm not British, but I used to live there
Guess who haunts those corridors...
No thanks.
Cormac _ Who, Bruce Forsyth
Wouldn't surprise me if that's why the BBC were so desperate to get out of there. To draw a line under the past and all the unpleasant things that went on there with Savile, et al.
Cormac _ mr Blobby 😵😵😵
Jimmy savile
You'd have thought they might have thought about torching the place then?
They should have kept an extra studio, because three studios is not enough for the vast London needed programmes. Studio 1 is massive at 10,800 Sq Ft and does not suit certain shows. Studio 2 is too small at 3,430 Sq Ft and Studio 3 is just right at 8,000 Sq Ft, so they should have kept Studio 4 which was also 8,000 Sq Ft, but money played into the decision and it did not happen, although there are documents written proposing keeping Studio 4, it never happened.
John King They tried keep at least 8.

BBC needs to back in West London's TVC!
Home to iconic shows and some painful, traumatic memories for people who were left victims of the corporation's attitude to certain celebrities who worked there.
650,k! have they forgot were not all tv presenters
Nice development, but I would have expected that apartments starting at 650k would have functional heating. Apparently the developer and the building management doesn't consider heating as something essential. Or maybe freezing in your flat is the best way to live in a luxury apartment.
could the insert at 2:20 be a bit shorter? :D
People moan about the price but that's London for you... The cost of the land/property and wages are that high of course the developer then has to price the flats high to recoup their money and make a profit..
*Television Centre Is The Hub Of BBC*
But Now
Television Centre Is The Hub Of Studioworks Itv
Load of tripe, as who would like live in an - effectively an industrial estate, just look at dingy Westfield with it’s haunting glass square structures, lousy scruffy Wood Lane. To me it’s little better to see TV shows, with just three studios, but they did a good job of the reception area fully restored, but miss going up the 6th floor news studios, as will never forgive the BBC for selling the dream factory.
You could always buy a 6th floor one bedroom flat if you are interested and live in it and go over to one of the Studio to see one of show being recorded, I believe Graham Norton show will be moving into one of tv studio, Free tickets to show wicked, Wished I have the money to move into one those flats.
I loved what N1 and N2, N2 produced all the national news, along with Business and Breakfast News, Weekend News And News Summaries, computer generated sets between 1993-1999, such s shame selling off TVC .
It was all political. There was no need to sell off TVC; it was busier than ever, and all it needed was a technical upgrade. Blame the sell off on Lefty t*ats, who wanted to make a political point.
A terrible loss. My father designed and installed much of the studio equipment for the change from monochrome to colour. It was a perfect building for those big productions of the 70s and 80s. The BBC today is nothing by comparison.
Cbeebies used the top flat of that apartment between its launch year and mid 2007
somehow this got to an hotel
Awesome
Nice to see it when James may isn't running a race in it
Wanted somewhere to say, the BBC is the best of all, worth every penny of the licence fee, smashed every other channel at christmas
Boycott
It’s a shame though that so many would disagree with this. I think the BBC will really struggle over the next 30-50 years.
@@MaxFPSGamer hopfully it does, bbc is trash and costs us £160 a year for something we dont want
You are a comic:-:-))
I want to live here!But the price...
I hope they left Jimmys dungeon room untouched, its a part of bbc history.
Why did BBC close it?
They wanted to make money - having an eight TV studio site they felt was draining their money
They just gave ITV a building and left it.
Not really, TC1 is still used by entertainment shows on many TV channels.
ow nice :)

TVC
So like the dome they took all our money now sold everything they bought with it, and still want more for crap propaganda tv? Nope. That's like you paying off your car then the dealer comes round with the new owner! SAY NO PEOPLE!
How typical of an incompetent and wasteful organisation. TVC had been regularly upgraded since it opened, a year before it closed the lighting galleries were converted to LED. The studios were effectively state of the art and quite simply the best of their kind in Europe if not the world. The morons on the 6th floor and the creeps at Broadcasting House thought it might be a good idea to sell it off to a developer for much less than it was worth and then lease back some of the studios at premium prices. London is short of fully equipped and staffed studios so why sell them?
Even now, BBC has to rent studios from ITV and some of the remaining movie centres such as Shepperton. Now if this were a private company there would simply be quiet laughter but WE paid for this building AND New Broadcasting house, what have they done with all that money? It's time we threw away the licence fee and let this flatulent abomination sink.
BBC doesn't rent any studios from ITV, as ITV doesn't have any proper TV studio centres anymore. ITV rent from the BBC to use Studios TC2 and TC3 for their daytime shows.
So sad my uncle and cousins worked there now yuppy flats I’m west London born and bred and I don’t recognise it anymore ,also the London studios on the south bank had studios (LWT) that could hold 600 in an audience now being demolished ,so now what do they use ,just rubbish love island type stuff 😢 0:19

Good to know that that £48 we pay Monthly for TVLicensing goes to this crap!
BBC had nothing to do with this.
Also why is he paying £48 a month? It's £150 a year - £12.50 a month

This looks like the sort of place pedo's hang out...
Sir Jimmy Saville, Rolf Harris, John Peel, all the usual faces
Not sure how dead people hang out but ok
Larry, I have heard of Peel being one before, though there was no evidence and you'd think it would have come out during the whole yewtree investigations. Also the courts threw out all but 1 case against DLT, which was that he assaulted a 22 year old (horrible, but not a paedo). The underage ones were dismissed for lack of evidence, which considering the little (but damning) evidence of the rest of yewtree, is saying something.
Now we need to privatise the BBC or force them to receive money through advertising
wrong
wclifton968 calm down mate
what do you mean by wrong? its an opinion but could also been seen as a fact since the BBC broadcast a lot of liberal propaganda and it would have to stop if they were privatized because advertisers wouldn't want a biased view of the news.....
wclifton968 LOOL completely misguided
It is the other way around. Becuase of how they work, the BBC is less biased than they would be privatised. If they started advertising, BBC News 24 would go the way of CNN in America, also known as the Clinton News Network. Because no ads run on thee BBC, they are a free animal. If a company is being shady, the BBC and most british news outlets would be the first to report it. Because you get paid advertisers, you may want to avoid criticizing your paymasters.
CNN is always sponsored some how. They dont report on current affairs based on the advertisers. If Coca Cola for instance sponsored BBC News and BBC ran a report on something shady going on behind the scenes at the coca cola company, what do you think would happen? Because we pay the BBC, we actually get more of a say in what goes on. Because you already pay them, most BBC contact telephone lines are free of charge.
