Lime Grove Studios were the predominant studios used to film ''Doctor Who'' during the early [[William Hartnell]] and most of the [[Patrick Troughton]] eras. They were used for [[principal photography]]. As such, they would have been a primary workplace of Hartnell, [[Carole Ann Ford]], [[William Russell]], [[Jacqueline Hill]]. [[Frazer Hines]], [[Wendy Padbury]], [[Deborah Watling]] and Patrick Troughton. They were also the first workplace of [[John Nathan-Turner]] on the program, who was a floor assistant on the single episode of ''[[The Space Pirates]]'' which was shot at Lime Grove.
