Television Centre is the location of an [[:category:Eighth Doctor comic stories|Eighth Doctor comic]], "[[TV Action!]]", in which the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Izzy Sinclair]] chase [[Beep]] the [[Meep]] into an [[Meta-fiction universe|alternate universe]]. There, they land on [[12 October]] [[1979]] just outside what is presumably the "real" Television Centre. A mad chase through various studios ensues, but Beep has mistaken [[Tom Baker]] for the real [[Fourth Doctor]]. Beep wishes to extract revenge against Baker for the events of the [[:category:Fourth Doctor comic stories|Fourth Doctor strip]], "[[The Star Beast]]", but in the end, the actor's tendency to ramble subdues the alien long enough to allow Izzy to overload Beep's [[Black Star drive]], ending the adventure. Much of Television Centre is reasonably accurately portrayed, with the main entrance, central fountain, ''[[Blue Peter]]'' garden, and circular studio space being recognisably captured by artist [[Roger Langridge]]. | Television Centre is the location of an [[:category:Eighth Doctor comic stories|Eighth Doctor comic]], "[[TV Action!]]", in which the [[Eighth Doctor]] and [[Izzy Sinclair]] chase [[Beep]] the [[Meep]] into an [[Meta-fiction universe|alternate universe]].
