Opening in 2019 as Electric Cinema White City.
The BBc are using three of the original tv studios for some of tv shows(like The Graham Norton Show).
There may be a carpark under the left hand part of the Television Centre building?
The hotel/housing section of the building may have opened in April 2018?
There is also going to be a Royal College of Art Campusin the redevelpment of the building too.
Television Centre is in the shape of a question mark when seen from the air.
The first BBC staff moved into the Scenery Block in 1953. The offical opening was on 29/6/1960. Television Centre was seen been blown up(not for real) in an episode of the television series “The Goodies”(series 2, episode 18, Gender educagion). The front of the building(and possibly the inside?) was used the the television series “An Adventure in Space and Time” about the early beginings of the television series “Doctor Who” which used to be filmed in Television Centre(studo recordings). It was the last programme filmed before the partital demolition and resoration of Television Centre. The inside(and possibly the outside?) of Television was seen in one of the extras on the “Doctor who” dvd “The Visitation”(The Television Centre of the Universe – part 1). The Television Centre of the Universe – part 2 is an extra on the Doctor Who" dvd of “The Underwater Menace”. The gardens outside Television Centre used by the Television prograame “Blue Peter” is still there(also heritage listed i think?).
