Actually the Bakerloo Line as BH sits above it between the Regents Park and Oxford St stations - I heard the trains rumbling by many times whilst working there!
There's an interesting read here
http://underground-history.co.uk/bbcbh.php about an unfounded rumour of a platform for BH on the line - the article concludes with
"Update 2006: Over the last couple of years, extensive work has been done in the refurbishment of BBC Broadcasting House. In fact, "refurbishment" is rather a weak word to describe the work... As the facade is a listed building, this couldn't be changed, but essentially, the building's innards have been completely gutted and rebuilt so that the studios are now on floating foundations to attempt to reduce the noise from the Underground"
