Information Service was a 21 short story printed in TV Century 21 that contained elements from the Doctor Who universe.
Summary
Alexander Knight of Glasgow writes in to the Universal Secret Service after noticing that T.J. Younger has replaced Nikita Bandranaik as President of the World Government. Agent Twenty One fulfills Knight's request for information on Earth's new leader by printing a concise biography of the man.
Characters
Worldbuilding
- Twenty One is only able to print bare details on T.J. Younger for security reasons.
- Younger was born in Australia forty-seven years prior to 2067.
- Younger served as a Senator at the World Security Council representing the Australasian states for a long time. In 2057, he was elected senator for Mars and three years later became the vice-chairman of the World Government, deputy to the Vice President.
- Younger was "overwhelmingly" chosen as the new World President following the resignation of Nikita Bandranaik.
Story notes
- This story clarified that Nikita Bandranaik had been replaced as World President by T.J. Younger. Although Bandranaik's impending resignation was foreshadowed in TV Century 21 as early as January 1966, Younger's ascension to the post was not acknowledged until the publication of World Mourns Dead Space Hero in April 1967. Confusing the matter further was the fact that Bandranaik's likeness was regularly employed as the face of the World President in place of a unique design for Younger until June 1968.
Continuity
- Alexander Knight noticed that there had been a change in the Presidency of the World Government from reading TV 21. (PROSE: World Mourns Dead Space Hero)
- As rumours predicted, Nikita Bandranaik did not seek another term of office in the November elections of 2066 owing to ill health. (PROSE: Solar Streak A.O.K.)
- Although he resigned in November, Bandranaik remained in office until January 2067. (COMIC: Fireball XL5)
