context_page_description: Porth Teigr is an area under development in the docks area of Cardiff Bay, in the south of Cardiff, Wales. Its development began in 2008.
  The multi-use area will host the BBC drama village, with plans to link this to a new digital centre. The work will cover a large brownfield area.
context_section_description: The centrepiece of the development is the new 170,000 sq foot drama production studio complex for the BBC at Roath Lock. Extensive infrastructure and public realm works including a new bridge linking the site to the remainder of the inner harbour were completed enabling access to the new BBC Roath Lock Studios. The studios were officially opened on 12 March 2012 and will be the home to several productions, including Doctor Who, Casualty, Pobol y Cwm and Upstairs Downstairs. Casualty started filming on site in September 2011.
