- You may be looking for the real world location or the Television Centre in a meta-fiction universe.
The BBC Television Centre was located on Wood Lane (AUDIO: Invocation) in Shepherd's Bush. (AUDIO: Mystery Lady)
History
A taxi driver drove Godrin to the BBC Television Centre, believing that Godrin was method acting. (AUDIO: The Valley of Death)
In 1976, the Seventh Doctor made copies of a security badge he acquired in his third incarnation to allow Broadsword and Plasticine to gain access to the BBC Television Centre and stop the Vardans. (PROSE: No Future)
During the coup by the Internal Counter-Intelligence Service, the BBC Television Centre was bombed, resulting in the BBC being knocked off-air. (AUDIO: The Longest Night)
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)
By 2111, Bruce Forsyth was still alive and working at the BBC Television Centre. The Eleventh Doctor briefly brought Dermot O'Leary to this year and place in the TARDIS while trying to get him to the National Television Awards in 2011. Dermot stepped out of the TARDIS to find Bruce sitting in the studio, who confirmed to a surprised Dermot that he was still doing TV. (TV: Dermot and the Doctor)
Alternate universes
A version of the BBC Television Centre also existed in a meta-fiction universe, which the Eighth Doctor and Izzy Sinclair chased Beep the Meep. They arrived on 12 October 1979 just outside the Television Centre, chasing Meep inside around the studios, with Beep finding and mistaking this universe's Tom Baker for the Fourth Doctor. Beep wished to extract revenge against Tom Baker, but in the end, the actor's tendency to ramble subdued the alien long enough to allow Izzy to overload Beep's Black Star drive. (COMIC: TV Action!)
