== Crossovers ==
As the conceit of TV Century 21 was that all its series took place in a single universe, several Stingray stories from its pages crossed over freely with the Doctor Who universe. This included references to Stingrays characters and ongoing storylines in the prose "cover stories" and "Stop Press" panels at the end of The Daleks. The series was also involved in a crossover event between the series of TV21 in a story arc revolving around the planet Astra, originally created by David Whitaker for the First Doctor television story The Rescue. Some Stingray strips also featured concepts which had debuted in Dalek stories.
