Studios in Former BBC Television Centre Reopen with Jonathan Ross Show
First of a host of TV shows broadcasting from Wood Lane this autumn
Studios within the former BBC Television Centre on Wood ane reopened this weekend, with the broadcast on Saturday of the start of a new series of ITV1's The Jonathan Ross Show.
BBC Studioworks, a commercial subsidiary of the BBC, has reopened three revamped state-of-the-art studios as well as post production facilities within the famous 'home of TV'.
This summer it was announced that a number of ITV shows would be moving from their current home in the South Bank to White City, with offices in White City Place and broadcasting from Television Centre.
As well as The Jonathan Ross Show, the shows still to come include Good Morning Britain, Lorraine, This Morning and Loose Women.
This autumn, Studioworks will also host the BBC One quiz show, Pointless, and the Strictly Come Dancing companion show, It Takes Two, hosted by Zoe Ball.
David Conway, Managing Director at BBC Studioworks sayd; "It really is an exciting prospect to see Television Centre back as the production hub for the nation’s favourite programmes, and we expect to see ‘TVC’ reemerge as the production community’s favourite place to make TV.
"Whilst some may get nostalgic about the re-opening, this really is a new Television Centre, set up for the future with leading-edge technologies, flexible facilities and a fantastic team running it.
"Having a range of independent bars, restaurants, a gym and spa, a cinema and a members’ club on our doorstep is also proving a great draw for production teams."
If you would like to visit Television Centre and join the audience for one of these shows, you can apply for free tickets to SRO Audiences or Applause Store.
