involvement: Lead Developer

description: A concept dreamt up for promoting the 2003 (and subsequent 2004) coverage of Wimbledon, the game combined the BBC’s successful 2002 Great Britons series with the iron-clad institution that is Doctor Who to produce a unique look… A further variation of the game was run for the 2003 US Open that replaced Queen Victoria for Elvis, and included an advanced two player mode.
[UPDATE: Tardis Tennis now has it's own Wikipedia link. how cool is that?!]
