Studio tour

If you pop your head round the mighty doors of Studio 1, Television Centre in the next six weeks, you're in for a mild surprise.

Developers Stanhope have been allowed to use the space (which is being refurbished as a proper tv studio for the BBC) as a marketing suite for the flats which will replace old BBC production offices in the listed-doughnut at the heart of the site.

Models and mock-ups of the finished flats, complete with faux 50s interiors, are on show, and top-end purchasers can discuss various configurations of the biggest apartments. Here's the living/dining area of a proposed 3-bedroom number. You can almost see Bill Cotton in the armchair.
