The studios were taken over by the BBC in 1955 , so locations in Ealing appear in films from Doctor Who to Monty Python's Flying Circus . A few years ago the studios were used again for film productions, such as Notting Hill , Being Serious is Everything , Star Wars: Episode II - Attack of the Clones and The Girls of St. Trinian .
