BBC Worldwide Review

Stood in the rain for an hour before getting turned away as over subscribed, wristband solution could be used more effectively and have prevented this possibly.

Unfortunately a biased institution that peddles its own political views rather than facts.

The Chase Celebrity Specials recording, excellent!!

A pretty cool place but depends what your seeing I guess

Will never be bored of visiting this historic place. Sad that it's no longer the television factory of the BBC's that it once was, but at least now the building exterior is open to the public so you can visit the central area and the restaurants that now take up what was the spur (stage 4 and 5) of TVC.

Interesting to watch a programme being filmed. Word of warning, go prepared for standing outside for 2 or 3 hours. Check the weather and dress appropriately

Nice area to eat, have a coffee and hang out. Well kept. Upcoming area.

Everyone is really friendly and polite. Well organised. Fantastic evening.

Watched 'The Ranganation' live, really fun, different evening

Great experience watching a television recording here. Easily accessible and comfortable.

Iwhat a nice working place wish it open and windy like my in the . middle of the Pacific ocean home island beach!!

Worked here freelance in the late 90s. Had the time of my life.

Saw The Last Leg - a live TV show
Fantastic show.
The warm up act was great and the stars of the show interacted with the audience before and after the show and also during the commercial breaks.
If you have tickets to any show, get there early.
Queues were well managed.
Staff were friendly and helpful.
Toilets were very busy due to number and location.

Producers of Masterchef, where a white male is allowed to mansplain how a traditional Malaysian dish is made. Also allows racist Nigel Farage to spout his fake news and racists nonsense multiple times.

Interesting getting to see how things operate backstage. Right opposite Westfield and the train station so it's easy to get there too.

The wonderfully iconic BBC TV centre is being preserved and used to house several exclusive hotels.
Although it is directly opposite Wood Lane tube station (Hammersmith & City Line), - it is extremely difficult to access by car, . . . until you know how.
The old access ways have been built over (very attractively) to form a kind of piazza.
There is a very short access road that hairpins immediately through 180 degrees. However, there is -zero- signage. Yes that's right, - a big fat zippo; nada; nothing.
Worse! This access road only has a very shallow curb to define it, and the roadway is precisely the same colour as the walkway and piazza next to it. Even the curb is colour matched.
Very pretty - but also very counterintuitive if you're driving up Wood Lane looking for somewhere to drop passengers with luggage!!!
In fact the -only- way to do so is to look for this carefully camouflaged access road, and turn into it, to come off the main road, - because you certainly can't stop on Wood Lane!
The centre has -no- car park you can use. You have to use the short access road to drop your passengers, and then proceed to the nearby Westfield Mall, and park there. Warning: it's a bit of a walk from the mall car park.

Great night watching good TV being made. Helpful and kind staff.

Had a great experience, building and surrounds are lovely, we went to the filming of a show here and it was well run, fun and a great experience, for us a fantastic time!

So my experience may not have been typical but I found that the security present, were either EXTREMELY overcautious or bordering taking airport security back to school for an education.
I was treated very last minute to tickets to see Russell Howard's happy hour, and at the security check I had my bag from work searched and made to throw all of the edible contents away - including food shopping items and a meal in a Tupperware pot - as ABSOLUTELY no food was allowed inside. I asked to keep it as it was lunches and dinner and I clearly couldn't cook it and eat in while watching a live tv performance.
This was met with a flat no, no discussion or reasoning, and told very clearly that it said "No food or drink" on the tickets ........ I didn't have a ticket, I didn't know I was coming, I was invited as a surprise.
Furthermore when I was standing in the queue, after security, to get our seats other people around me were eating sweets, crisps, drinking cans etc - which I raised as a question and met with "different security mate".
Also I was told when being seated that we would all get a free beer when I was sat in my seat, which when the staff came round asking for empty beer cans I said we hadn't got one and was just told "too late then".
Regardless the Russell Howard show was great.

Awesome place for some British culture, TV history with unusual architecture and regeneration outside area.

Mo Gilligan - The Lateish Show - Hilarious, but why didn't the fly make the edit!

Now it totally change the view of area . 500yards away Troubadour theatre and new developments

Jimmy carr is the funniest and his co host too thanks for rhr invite

BEST NIGHT OUT FOR A LONG TIME.
WATCHED JIMMY CARR AND KATHERINE RYAN IN
YOUR FACE OR MINE
FIRST SAW THIS AT LONDON TELEVISION STUDIOS NEAR THE LONDON EYE
BUT BBC TELEVISION CENTRE WAS MUCH NICER AND LESS WALKING

We attended the Russell Howard Hour filming here and it was really brilliant. I would be giving it 5 stars however I'm disabled with invisible illnesses that cause me extreme joint, muscle and nerve pain and the accessibility help was pretty non-existant for me personally. I emailed the organiser a few weeks beforehand and didn't get any help, when I arrived at the venue I found a member of staff immediately and told her my issues, that I couldn't stand for long and where is the accessibility entrance and she just said to just join the queue with everyone else as it won't be long. We ended up queuing for just over an hour and I was in absolute agony which then affected my enjoyment of the actual show since I was in so much pain throughout. I tried to get the attention of a few staff when we got to the bit where you are herded a big group but no luck. I noticed that people who had crutches and wheelchairs were whisked right to the front and presumably in first yet they didn't want to know with me. Also we had 'priority' tickets but we were seated pretty much last and right at the back of the studio. So really priority tickets mean you aren't a priority at all. And yes, I know it was free, but I'd still expect some sort of accessibility help in place for ANYBODY who requires it. I will say though I have no idea if these failings were of the venue staff or if they were the organisers staff? Also the methods in which they call the different colours of wristband was shambolic there wasn't many people with priority it seemed and when we were called we were right at the back of the big crowd and had to push our way through to the front when we were called much to the upset of other patrons, it took sometime and was very difficult for me for obviously reasons then when we were at the front it was 'I don't know why they've called you now' then we were told to wait to one side while they called in hundreds of others before us. They didn't seem to have a proper system and none of it made sense. To me they should be lining up the different colours separately and in the order they want to call them inside. When inside the warm up comedian told us that before we arrived they'd done a survey in the queue and those people were given different wrist bands which seemed to get them in first and the best seating. I'm really not sure what the point of our priority tickets were when if we'd just rocked up earlier and chanced it we apparently would have got much better seating and could have been shown on the show instead of being in the back row. Overall I liked the venue, loved the show but the organisation and disability training is lacking to say the least.

When people plotting the murder of the prime minister of india is arrested in India, BBC just worte an article (author Soutik Biswas) sympathising with the plotters and terrorists. What business does BBC and britain have meddling in the affairs of other states. These psuedo journalists are more like presstitutes and BBC should get rid of them and their opinionated articles. During the colonial times the British were the world's best Oppressors, now they are the worlds best boozers. Brexit is a boon for the europe. It will emerge stronger, wiser and brighter and htey can only thank the ever so oppressive brits for that !

No regard for the premises. Especially when the premises refuse's to accept modern technology that would prevent people from free downloading from the Internet.
As I have witnessed free downloading from the Internet.
So I have to say that I have no regard for this company.

Will be the home of Publicis in 2 months! Looking forward to it!

Nice to return to BBC Television Centre, to see the update but remaining features of the iconic building.

Very pleasant, modern garden square with seating, bar and restaurant.

Might have to wait... but amazing shows and entertainment!

Without top gear BBC is rubbish and should be ended

Went to see The Graham Norton Show. The queuing system is slightly hard to follow, particularly depending on the guests on any given week. One you get your number there are plenty of good restaurants to grab some food and a drink before the queue to get into the show. Tickets are free for the show recordings so a good way to spend an evening

Home of television is now home to a building site. Sad.

No food for drinks served in there but apart from that it was alright

Such a hassle trying to get in to see show will not go again.

Most of it has been turned into first class aparments

Went to watch 2 episodes of Pointless being recorded. Great show. Staff friendly. Nice to see the television centre still producing some shows, although the main building is being converted into flats.

Lovely venue. I saw series 9 of 2 Pints being filmed here and loved it.

Great experience watching Russell Howard live. Only down side was the queue for 2 hours plus outside. Free can off beer thou

Great experience watching QI but they should definitely update audience seating. Very uncomfortable

Vibrant, busy place both for client and visitors. Nice building, informal way of dealings/dress code, lovely facilities and a wonderful location.

Hopefully in the summer of 2016 connected buildings refurbishment/development will finish and would start producing shows.

1st time been inside, great place to watch your favourite shows being recorded!

They are professional and know what they are doing!

Pleased but q ing needs improving we went to see a show. It was a hot day didn't get offered food or drink over 2 hours wait to get in .

Great but nowhere to get a drink or food! We went to see a program being recorded and after standing outside for 1 & 1/2 hours went straight into recording with nothing!

very friendly staff, the booking in process to see russell howard was very smooth and we were regularly kept up to date on the progress by staff, they managed to get everyone in which they cannot guarantee, so we were grateful for this (as we did arrive towards the back of the queue) would highly recommend people to have a look at seeing live recordings, made a great evening for me and the girlfriend especially being opposite the west field shopping centre

LONG queues to get into to watch some show thats gonna be on tv.Have to go there 5:30pm sharp to start casually at 7:30pm all food confiscated on entry outside. Have to laugh /applaud for the tv set All this goeson till about 10:30pm. BORING.
Sit at home watch the show in 25 minutes on tv.
Don't waste your time. Thank me later.

Went here to see a show, The Last Leg, great show, made better by a comfortable theatre with good facilities.

Great day out to see Loose Women. Well organised and and fun day out.

Over issued tickets for Ant and Dec Saturday Night Takeaway, cost us a dog sitter, train journey, and overnight accommodation on my birthday, where over 100 people were turned away!!! Despicable way to treat people! Told us to come back next week, but start queuing at 11am. Thanks for nothing!!

I have worked in the new BBC building. Posh and high standard construction building.

Howard Russell Hour courtesy of Sky VIP, great to hear the off camera chat and production of a show.

Love coming here to TV shows the ticket people could be more organized though!

We had a very interesting visit to the Television Centre - An amazingly clever development! Integrating all the history and all the key features of the original building into this luxurious Oasis. Go take a look!

Beautifully designed HQ for BBC World. Bright and airy reception area. Well designed layout. Great workplace with themed rooms which is nice touch
