Welsh Volcano Erupts was a short story printed in TV Century 21 that contained elements from the Doctor Who universe. Framed as the front page of an in-universe periodical, the titular article instead made reference to the Thunderbirds comic story Solar Danger, which was a crossover with the DWU.

- In Paris, upheaval in strata beneath the French capital raises the central area a further hundred feet above sea level with thirty-six square miles utterly devestated.
- In London, famous monuments disappear in ruins as earthquakes rack the City. The Tower of London is reduced to a mere heap of rubble.
- In Amsterdam, a natural gas rig off the Dutch coast blazes as sub-oceanic tremors shatter tapping pipes.
