Around [[2003]], BBC Wales successfully untangled the rights issues surrounding ''[[Doctor Who]]'', which had plagued the possible return of the program for most of the [[1990s]]. It thus won the right to begin producing a new, televised version of ''[[Doctor Who]]'' and its behind-the-scenes companion, ''[[Doctor Who Confidential]]''. After these shows proved successful, BBC Wales added the spin-off shows, ''[[Torchwood]]'', ''[[Torchwood Declassified]]'', ''[[Totally Doctor Who]]'' and ''[[The Sarah Jane Adventures]]''. | Around [[2003]], BBC Wales successfully untangled the rights issues surrounding ''[[Doctor Who]]'', which had plagued the possible return of the program for most of the [[1990s]].

This heavy output of material related to the [[Whoniverse]] prompted the largest expansion of production facilities in the division's history. In [[2006]], BBC Wales leased [http://wikimapia.org/11998795/BBC-Wales-Studios-Upper-Boat a site] at [[Upper Boat]] in Pontypridd, on which they constructed studio space entirely dedicated to the production of ''Doctor Who'' and its spin-offs. Called simply "BBC Studios", the site is ten times as large as the rest of BBC Wales' studio space in Cardiff, and the largest studio complex in Wales. | This heavy output of material related to the [[Whoniverse]] prompted the largest expansion of production facilities in the division's history.
