BBC Roath Lock Studios (Welsh: Stiwdios BBC Porth y Rhath) is a television production studio that houses BBC drama productions including Doctor Who, Casualty, and Pobol y Cwm.[1] The centre topped out on 20 February 2011 and filming for such productions commenced in autumn of the same year.[2]

The facility is located on a development site known as Porth Teigr, which included a proposed 3,700-square-metre (40,000 sq ft) digital media centre, and between 2012 and 2017 hosted an interactive Doctor Who exhibition titled the Doctor Who Experience.[3] The facility has 500 to 600 people working on site.[4]
