These are the same people that released the STAR TREK role-playing game. The Dr. Who game is set up in a similar way and the combat system is almost identical. The game does have a few problems though. I am not totally happy with the way they are doing character generation. There does not seem to be much difference in the way non-time lords are generated from the way time-lords are. In fact, the only difference that I have found is in the generation of age. The game does not seem entirely well organized. In fact in some places the rules contradict themselves. I have not had a chance yet to run a scenario since there are none included in the game and the others from FASA have not yet been released. The only scenario that I know of is one which appeared in this months issue of STARDATE which, unfortunately, the people I play with had read.
