Didn't Sumo recently develop a Doctor Who platformer/adventure game? I've never played it but could imagine that it would give a good idea of how apt they are at character controlling and combat.
Edit: here it is. Looks so-so, though it does show that they have developed third person controls. No sign of hand to hand combat however.
