'''Riverside Studios''' were primarily television studios on Crisp Road in the [[London]] borough of [[Hammersmith]] and [[Fulham]]. They were the principal, though not exclusive, home to studio recording for ''[[Doctor Who]]'' from the [[Season 2|second]] to the early [[Season 4|fourth]] seasons of the original run. They are perhaps most significant to historians of the programme as the location where the first [[regeneration]] [[The Tenth Planet|scene]] was filmed. | '''Riverside Studios''' were primarily television studios on Crisp Road in the [[London]] borough of [[Hammersmith]] and [[Fulham]].

Riverside's buildings were not originally meant for film or video production. Instead, they were constructed in 1903 as industrial space. It was only in 1933 that the site gave up its industrial roots and was converted into a film studio by Triumph Film Company. For the next twenty-one years, the studios passed through a succession of moderately successful film producers. Perhaps the most famous movie produced at the site was the Academy Award-winning, ''The Seventh Veil''. In 1954 the studios were used for the final time as a film studio to produce the Alec Guinness film, ''Father Brown'' (USA: ''The Detective''). | Riverside's buildings were not originally meant for film or video production.

Of the three studios, Studio 1 has always been the biggest and most well-equipped. Thus to speak of "Riverside Studios" in the context of ''Doctor Who'' really means "Riverside 1". | Of the three studios, Studio 1 has always been the biggest and most well-equipped.
