Collision Course Threat! was a Captain Scarlet comic story printed in TV Century 21 in 1969.
The location of Unity City, first introduced in The Daleks story Duel of the Daleks, was crucial to the framing narrative which enabled the events of the story to be reported on by TV 21, thus constituting a crossover with the Doctor Who universe.
