That’s a good question are sets reused in other programmes ?
As far as I am aware most of it was destroyed, it was offered to Holmfirth and they found a place to put it above Lodges as a exhibition, but the timeframe was very short and transport could not be found it time, as several large vehicles were needed to collect it, the BBC stated if not collected it would all go to scrap.
I think at the time the BBC's loathing of the show was if nothing is left then there is no chance of a come back or even a final special, the claim was under 6 million viewers was not worth their efforts to make anymore, now their major soap is struggling to reach half those figures

The sets from BBC sitcoms filmed at television centre would of surely been ?
So you may see a Dalek pass through Barry & Glenda's living room one day then !
They once used the set from the 1984 series of The Paul Daniels Magic Show for a series of Les Dennis and Dustin Gee's Laughter Show.

I wonder if it differed for different series because Doctor Who used certain bits of the sets for ages before they replaced them

So that's why the Café looked slightly different season to season. It gradually went from seedy to a more modern décor.
Well, it was part of the storyline in Series Six that the cafe was re-decorated, which went from the dirty, seedy look to the clean modern look.
But throughout the 38 years of the programme's run, the cafe had subtle differences from each series, such as doors and walls in different places - if you look very carefully.
