History
Production
BBC Studios began receiving a co-credit for production alongside BBC Wales during series 10 of Doctor Who and the sole series of its spinoff, Class, later gaining the full credit from series 11 of the show and onwards.
Distribution
In 2017, it was announced that BBC Worldwide would be subsumed by BBC Studios. This was done to consolidate the production and distribution of their non-news programming under one company.
