ITV news reports on the state of Television Centre here.

It includes a comment by Phillip Schofield, who rose to fame 30 years ago in The Broomcupboard (Pres A) with his friend Gordon.." It is utterly shocking, it's outrageous, it's a critically appalling decision. It's an amazing building. London is desperately short of studio space. You can't find a studio.

It's purpose-built, it does everything you want television to do, so why don't we pull it down. It's criminal."

Also a statement by Alistair Shaw MD TV Centre:-
"For the first time ever it's going to be open to the public. It was a gated situation in the BBC era but it's now open to the public.

It's a piece of urban London available to all visitors and workers and residents alike to enjoy. It's a community and I want to everyone to integrate into that community. It's a big difference from normal residential schemes where everyone here is part of something bigger."

The video lasts nearly three minutes and includes footage from "The Blue Peter Garden" and some studio interiors.
