With reported sightings of the Grey Man across London inciting fear in people, Vikram Shindi and his UNIT troops cordoned off a television station in Wood Lane and fought off the apparitions. (AUDIO: Invocation)

In late 2012, the BBC had sold the building to the Eightfold Truth, who used the centre as their headquarters. (AUDIO: The Eight Truths)
