	Movies - Riverside Studios

The Triumph Film Company moved, in 1933, to a former factory building located in Hammersmith, west London. They produced many well known films there under the ownership of Jack Buchanan.

In 1954 the studio was acquired by the BBC for its television service. In particular, series 2-6 of Hancock's Half Hour (1957-60) were made at Riverside. Drama and music shows were also produced there, and the facility was in continuous use until the late 1970's.

In 1975, a charitable trust, formed by the local municipal authority, took control of the centre after the BBC moved out and, slowly, a cinema and performing arts spaces were established. The centre was used to broadcast the Chris Evans vehicle TFI Friday. At the moment the award winning ITV1 music show CD:UK is broadcast live every Saturday morning from Riverside.
