Broadcasting House, Salford Quays & TVC

Looks to be a totally new building - it seems to be taller than the East Tower and it follows the curve of the doughnut whereas the East Tower was perpendicular

East Tower will be coming down later in the year, currently serving as offices for the (de)construction teams. All buildings bar TC1-3 and donnut will be demolished. The drama and scenery blocks destruction are well underway.

This footage from 2 months ago shows how little already remains...

I don't know how true this is but according to the Daily Mail...

Here's a more recent photo I took on the walk between QPR and Wood Lane station. This was on 14th April. http://imageshack.com/a/img924/2298/ig3EQn.jpg

I've been working in the area since the beginning of April. The last time I went here was in 2012 to see the final episode of Harry Hill's TV Burp. The place feels and looks very different indeed.

What comes down must go up... I suppose

I still find it weird to see the studio door of TC3 hanging in the air like that.

Is it me, or does this year's Bafta Television Awards' set reminds anyone of the TVC doughnut?

BBC Studios staff based in NBH and the other central London buildings will be required to move back to White City, Broadcast says specifically Broadcast Centre. Given that The One Show is a Studios production does this mean their old studio will have to be converted back from offices?!

At least hot desking will be a lot easier for those remaining at NBH.

Does anyone know what other than BBC Comedy is based at Grafton House? It'll be interesting to see if that will continue to be used once comedy moves out.

if you're being picky, the former One Show studio is in the Energy Centre, not the Broadcast Centre.

I'm pretty sure there used to be a drama block around here somewhere...

..and the EastEnders set delay is now in the public domain.
