Virtually Impossible was an ambitious parody of computer gaming for ITV, but failed to capture a loyal audience in the fashion of Knightmare.
As the CEO of Televirtual Ltd, Tim Child went on to lead a group of artists, animators and computer scientists producing advanced forms of communications technology, specifically avatars.
The Televirtual team hold a number of awards for developing realtime animation techniques, and were also responsible for creating Britain's first fully-fledged Motion Capture Theatre.
He is currently Managing Director of DungeonMaster Ltd, and is active in producing for the Internet and the advancement of linguistic artificial intelligence in drama applications.
Child also operates a TV and film drama development consultancy, more specifically by collaborating with authors to bring their works to the screen.
