Just before the closure of BBC Television Centre in Spring 2013, Google took its Street View cameras around most of the studios and production areas which had been home to BBC Television since 1960.
Whilst the images were being captured, the filming of the Doctor Who docudrama An Adventure in Space and Time was taking place.
Take a virtual tour behind the scenes at some of the sets used in the docudrama, and see what the rest of Television Centre looked like just before it made the final transition to a modern studio centre, hotel, apartments and commercial headquarters of the BBC.
Bill Thompson from BBC Archives explains how it was done on the About the BBC blog.
