I know that it maybe more of an administration centre these days, but somehow I feel some sadness about it.
Yes, Doctor Who comes from Wales as does a lot of other stuff. And yet, this iconic building is for me, what the BBC is.

Maybe its a nostalgic '70s thing.

I went there once, when my then-girlfriend had an job interview.

I sat in the main lobby for several hours and spotted celebrities - entertainment behemoths like Toby Anstiss and Jenny Bond.

It was all very exciting.

I'd say it's a good move by the BBC. It's a very old building now, TV programmes can be made anywhere and a said in the artical there's demand for good sites - must be worth a small fortune. Still, I always liked driving by it for some odd reason.
