BBC Studios and Post Production

BBC Studios and Post Production is a commercial subsidiary of the BBC, providing television studios, post production and digital media services.

It works with broadcasters and media companies, making award-winning content for a variety of broadcasters including BBC, ITV, Channel 4, Five and Sky, from Deal or No Deal and A League of Their Own, to EastEnders and Strictly Come Dancing.

BBC Studios and Post Production also preserves, re-masters and manages content through its digital archiving, restoration and distribution services business, working with content owners like Imperial War Museum to conserve and maximise the value of their material. In 2013 its digital media services team won a FOCAL International award for restoration work on two landmark David Attenborough nature documentary series, Life on Earth (1979) and Trials of Life (1990).

Whilst BBC Television Centre in West London is being redeveloped, BBC Studios and Post Production has moved its London studios business to BBC Elstree Centre where it makes EastEnders and operates BBC Elstree Studio D (larger than the flagship Studio 1 at Television Centre and home to Children in Need 2013) and Election 2014/2015 coverage. It is also leasing stages from Elstree Film Studios and with co-investment from Hertsmere Council has transformed them into fully equipped TV studios. BBC Studios and Post Production will be returning to Television Centre in 2017 where it will operate Studios 1, 2 and 3 .
