Have Daleks Invaded Scotland? was a 21 short story printed in TV Century 21 that contained elements from the Doctor Who universe.
Summary
Agent Simon Bucks of the Universal Secret Service writes in to USS HQ from Bickley in Kent. He attaches a photograph taken in Scottish town of Lairg, suspecting the subject of the image of being some form of Dalek, an advance guard heralding an imminent full-scale invasion. USS action-group operators are already on their way to Lairg to investigate with clear orders to destroy any threat to Earth.
Characters
Worldbuilding

When Have Daleks Invaded Scotland? was published, TV Century 21 was releasing the penultimate story in the series, The Emissaries of Jevo.
