The BBC has won a battle to keep control of Dr Whos Tardis after the Metropolitan Police unsuccessfully argued it should own the trade mark of the distinctive image. The time travelling vessel became the subject of a legal wrangle as the Metropolitan Police fought to gain control of the blue box, which was a familiar sight on the streets of London up until the 1960s. The police objected to the BBC using the image of the Tardis on comics, T-shirts, videos and other merchandise, something it has done since the 1970s.
