The most iconic BBC Television building was perhaps its West London based Television Centre. The building was known and envied by every channel for producing some of the world's best TV and some of the best talent. But to help reach a £2 billion shortfall in government funding, (perhaps driven by the governments desire to move TV production North to Salford?) in 2007 it was announced by The BBC that it will sell TV centre, it's Director General Mark Thompson stating that it would deliver a smaller but fitter BBC in the digital age. The BBC announced this would be a full scale disposal of the site which they will not be leasing back. TV Centre was officially put up for sale in 2011.

By March 2013 during one freezing wet evening, Madness had performed a farewell gig to TV Centre. The studios had outlived their use coupled with a desire to spearhead a more diverse spread of TV production across the UK, the studios closed resulting in hundreds of job losses in the area.

In this film, following one last meeting at the building in 2013, former BBC employee and TV Director Jamie Langton (Craig Charles UFO Conspiracies, The Only Way is Essex, Car SOS, Educating Essex) takes a final look around the building that meant so much to him and so many others, before and during its demolition. By then the move was almost complete with last remaining equipment and furniture waiting to be dispatched.
