Riverside Studios In 1933 the Triumph Film Company converted a Victorian riverside engineering works on this site into film studios. The BBC took over in 1954, making many famous TV series here, including Dr Who, Dixon of Dock Green and Hancock's Half Hour. From the mid 1970s Riverside developed as an arts centre combining theatre, dance, music, cinema and TV.
