Riverside Studios#Film studio

{{unsourced section|date=August 2024}}

In 1933, a former Victorian iron foundry on Crisp Road, London, was bought by Triumph Films and converted into a relatively compact film studio with two sound stages and a dubbing theatre. In 1935, the studios were taken over by Julius Hagen (then owner of Twickenham Studios) with the idea of using Riverside for making quota quickies. However, by 1937 his company had gone into liquidation. Between 1937 and 1946, the studios were owned by Jack Buchanan and produced such films as We'll Meet Again (1943) with Vera Lynn and The Seventh Veil (1945) with James Mason. In 1946 the studios were acquired by Alliance Film Studios (then owners of Twickenham Studios and Southall Studios) and produced films including They Made Me a Fugitive (1948) with Trevor Howard, The Happiest Days of Your Life (1950) with Alistair Sim and Margaret Rutherford and Father Brown (1954) with Alec Guinness.

In 1954, the studios were acquired by the British Broadcasting Corporation for its television service.{{cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/rd/publications/bbc_monograph_14|title=The BBC Riverside Television Studios: Some Aspects of Technical Planning and Equipment|website=BBC History|date=14 January 1957|access-date=27 July 2018}}'Direct Television from Alexandra Palace', by Arthur Dungate.

Series 2 to 6 of Hancock's Half Hour (1957–1960) were made there, along with other comedy, drama and music programmes, including the science-fiction serial Quatermass and the Pit (1958–1959), Dixon of Dock Green, Six-Five Special, The Old Grey Whistle Test, Z-Cars, Top of the Pops (1965), and the children's programmes Blue Peter[http://www.staffordshirenewsletter.co.uk/times-gone-by-blue-peter-trip-not-plain-sailing/story-29516087-detail/story.html]{{dead link|date=November 2019}} and Play School.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thechildrensmediafoundation.org/events/the-play-school-50th-anniversary-reunion|title=The Play School 50th Anniversary Reunion | The Children's Media Foundation (CMF)|website=www.thechildrensmediafoundation.org}} (1964–1968) Episodes of Doctor Who were made at Riverside between 1964 and 1968, and Studio 1 was where First Doctor William Hartnell's regeneration scene was filmed.{{Cite web|url=https://www.bbc.co.uk/blogs/genome/entries/629bd3da-4a33-43f1-aec7-fdc90c96a291|title=Doctor Who: The Regeneration Game|date=5 November 2016|website=BBC}} The facility remained in regular use until the BBC left in 1974.{{cite web|url=https://database.theatrestrust.org.uk/resources/theatres/show/2790|title=Riverside Studios|website=Theatres Trust|date=2017|access-date=27 July 2018}}

In 1974, a charitable trust formed by Hammersmith and Fulham Council took control of the building, and two large multi-purpose spaces designed by Michael Reardon were created from the studio's two main sound stages. While preparing Riverside's opening festival in 1976, the venue's first Artistic Director Peter Gill permitted an amateur West London music group called The Strand to use one of the performance spaces to rehearse. They went on to become The Sex Pistols.{{cite book |title=I was a Teenage Sex Pistol |first=Glen |last=Matlock |publisher=Reynolds & Hearn |year=2006}} Riverside's original policy was to have a combination of in house and visiting company productions of classical and contemporary plays and dance. Running concurrently with the main programme were regular events and activities including a film, music, education, workshop and play reading programme. David Gothard, the founding programming director, brought "The Dead Class" by Tadeusz Kantor and the Cricot 2 company from Krakow in Poland in 1977.

Riverside Studios became fully operational in 1978 with Gill's landmark production of The Cherry Orchard. The venue quickly acquired an international reputation for excellence and innovation with productions including The Changeling with Brian Cox and Robert Lindsay (1978), Measure for Measure with Helen Mirren (1979) and Julius Caesar with Phil Daniels (1980),{{Cite web|url=http://www.petergill7.co.uk/|title=Peter Gill, playwright and theatre director|website=www.petergill7.co.uk}} as well as a variety of international work – including, notably, that of Polish theatre maestro Tadeusz Kantor. In 1978, Riverside hosted the first of many Dance Umbrella seasons, featuring the work of Rosemary Butcher and Richard Alston. Gill also offered residencies to artists including Bruce McLean and Ian Coughlin and companies such as the Black Theatre Co-operative (now NitroBeat).{{Cite web |url=https://www.unfinishedhistories.com/history/companies/black-theatre-co-operative/ |title=Black Theatre Co-operative – Unfinished Histories}} The venue was also used by the BBC for some television recording, including a 1979 episode of Parkinson for which host Michael Parkinson interviewed former United States Secretary of State Henry Kissinger.

Art exhibitions (including 'Prints' by Howard Hodgkin, 1978) had initially been curated by Milena Kalinovska in Riverside's foyer, but following Gill's departure in 1980, a purpose-built gallery space was established by the resident Architect Will Alsop and John Lyall along with Technical Director Steven Scott. The directorship of Jenny Stein established the first exhibition and showed works by the painter and graphic artist Edvard Munch. Subsequent exhibitions included David Hockney (Paintings and Drawings for Parade, 1981),{{Cite web|url=http://collections.vam.ac.uk/item/O1169864|title=Poster | Hockney, David | V&A Search the Collections|date=7 November 2019|website=V and A Collections}} Antony Gormley (New Sculpture, 1984), Louise Bourgeois (Recent Work, 1990) and Yoko Ono (In Facing, 1990). In 1985, Kalinovska (who was Riverside's Exhibitions Director from 1982-1986) was nominated for The Turner Prize.

From 1980, David Gothard directed the performing arts program and invited Michael Clark to become Riverside's first resident choreographer. He made 16 original pieces at the studios before establishing his own dance company in 1984. Also in 1980, Samuel Beckett directed the San Quentin Theatre Workshop's rehearsals of his play Endgame in Studio 2, returning to Riverside four years later to direct the same company in Waiting for Godot. Under Gothard's direction, there were performances by Dario Fo and Franca Rame, Le Cirque Imaginaire, Eckehard Scall and the Berliner Ensemble, The Market Theater of Johannesburg, Cricot 2 of Krakow, Collectivo De Parma, and independent dance collaborations with Merce Cunningham and John Cage and members of the Judson Church.

In November 1987, a 200-seat cinema was opened by the actress Vanessa Redgrave.

In 1990, jazz veteran Adelaide Hall starred in the movie Sophisticated Lady, a documentary about her life, which included a performance of her in concert recorded live at the Riverside Studios.[https://web.archive.org/web/20090116153738/http://ftvdb.bfi.org.uk/sift/title/433460 "Jazz on a Summer's Night: Sophisticated Lady (1990)"], BFI.

William Burdett-Coutts (also Artistic Director of Assembly) was appointed Artistic Director of Riverside Studios in 1993 (a position he held until June 2020). While Riverside continued its multi-arts programming (hosting companies such as Complicite, The Wooster Group and Howard Barker's The Wrestling School), its 200-seat cinema was celebrated for its double bill programmes and the variety of international film festivals which took place annually. In 1996, television production returned to Riverside when TFI Friday with Chris Evans took up residence in Studio 1 (until 2000). CD:UK was broadcast from Riverside between 2003 and 2006, while later TV projects included Channel 4's T4 (2006–2009), Popworld and The Last Leg, BBC's Never Mind the Buzzcocks and ITV's Celebrity Juice (2008–2014).

In September 2014, Riverside Studios closed for redevelopment.

London developer Mount Anvil, working in conjunction with A2 Dominion, redeveloped Riverside Studios and the adjacent Queen's Wharf building. Assael Architecture, were employed to design a new building on the site centred around 165 residential flats, with new studio facilities for theatre and television, two cinemas, a riverside restaurant and café/bar as well as flexible event spaces. As part of the redevelopment, a new riverside walkway connects to the Thames Path alongside the late Victorian Hammersmith Bridge.

During the redevelopment, Riverside continued to produce shows including Nirbhaya{{cite web |url=http://www.nirbhayatheplay.com/ |title=NIRBHAYA the Play |website=www.nirbhayatheplay.com |access-date=15 January 2022 |archive-url=https://web.archive.org/web/20131025051746/http://www.nirbhayatheplay.com/ |archive-date=25 October 2013 |url-status=dead}} by Yael Farber at international venues including Southbank Centre{{Cite web|url=http://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/attractions/international-womens-day-events-in-london-9170519.html|title=International Women's Day events in London|date=5 March 2014|website=Evening Standard}} and Lynn Redgrave Theatre{{Cite web|url=https://www.nytimes.com/2015/04/28/theater/review-nirbhaya-a-lamentation-and-a-rallying-cry-for-indian-women.html|title=Review: 'Nirbhaya,' a Lamentation and a Rallying Cry for Indian Women|first=Ben|last=Brantley|date=17 May 2015|via=NYTimes.com}} (2015), Raz, a new play by Jim Cartwright at Trafalgar Studios (2016){{Cite web|url=https://www.atgtickets.com/shows/raz/trafalgar-studios/|title=Raz - Trafalgar Studios - ATG Tickets|website=www.atgtickets.com}} and A Christmas Carol with Simon Callow at the Arts Theatre (2016–17).{{Cite web|url=https://www.standard.co.uk/go/london/theatre/a-christmas-carol-theatre-review-simon-callow-conjures-a-christmas-treat-with-his-oneman-carol-a3679666.html|title=Simon Callow conjures a Christmas treat with his one-man carol|date=19 December 2016|website=Evening Standard}} Riverside's digital production team also recorded a number of theatre and dance productions for broadcast by the BBC.

Riverside Studios reopened to the public in late 2019.{{Cite web|url=https://www.thestage.co.uk/features/2016/theatres-digital-future-finds-a-50m-home-at-riverside-studios/|title=Theatre's digital future finds a £50m home at Riverside Studios|first=Nick|last=Smurthwaite|date=7 November 2016}}

Since then, its stages have hosted such figures as Woody Harrelson, Benjamin Zephaniah, Eddie Izzard, Roger McGough, Andy Serkis, Jenna Russell, Sir Trevor Nunn, Jack Dee, Louisa Harland, Tom Allen, KT Tunstall, Sharon Gless and Dane Baptiste. Performance and rehearsal spaces within the building are used by a range of community groups and theatre companies including Flute Theatre, who run creative projects for young people with autism. The venue has also has fostered relationships with the appreciation societies of two classic television programmes filmed in Studio 1 in the 1960s; Doctor Who and Hancock's Half Hour. Regular screenings of episodes of both programmes take place in Screen 1 followed by Q&A's with guests who have included Hancock company player Laurie Webb and Who alumni Peter Davison, Julian Glover, Sylvester McCoy, Louise Jameson and original director Waris Hussein.

In both 2020 and 2021, the BBC recorded the Christmas and New Year Specials of Top of the Pops in Riverside's Studio 1. In 2021, Olly Alexander (formerly Years & Years) recorded their New Year's Eve concert in Studio 1 with special guests Kylie Minogue and Pet Shop Boys.

In April 2022, a BBC Heritage Trail plaque, commemorating Riverside's history as BBC studios, was unveiled by Bob Harris (radio presenter), the longest-serving host of The Old Grey Whistle Test. The event was attended by numerous guests who had worked at BBC Riverside Television Studios including Carole Ann Ford and Frazer Hines (Doctor Who) and Anne Reid (Hancock's Half Hour).

In March 2023 the theatre trust announced that the venue was being placed in administration because of the debt incurred by the redevelopment, coupled with increased operating expenses and a reduced revenue stream. The studios operated as normal during the administration process.{{cite news |last1=Wiegand |first1=Chris |title=London’s Riverside Studios to enter administration |url=https://www.theguardian.com/stage/2023/mar/30/londons-riverside-studios-to-enter-administration |work=The Guardian |date=30 March 2023}}

On January 8 2025, it was announced that Indian businessman Anil Agarwal had purchased Riverside Studios for an undisclosed sum. The studios will now be operated by the Anil Agarwal Riverside Studios Trust.{{Cite news |date=2025-01-08 |title=Vedanta chairman Anil Agarwal acquires London's iconic Riverside studio |url=https://economictimes.indiatimes.com/news/company/corporate-trends/vedanta-chairman-anil-agarwal-acquires-londons-iconic-riverside-studio/articleshow/117049819.cms |access-date=2025-02-08 |work=The Economic Times |issn=0013-0389}} Agarwal also announced the acquisition via his official X account.
