TV 21 Themes
TV 21 Themes was a mini-album consisting of five theme tunes to series published as comic strips within the magazine TV Century 21, plus a general "Century 21" theme. It had an issue number of MA105, indicating it was sixth release in the mini-album range from Century 21 Records.
Notably, an arrangement of the Doctor Who theme by Eric Winstone and his Orchestra was included. This was clearly intended as the contribution of The Daleks strip to the release, though that series solely focused on the Daleks and did not feature the Doctor. However, the Winstone rendition would be used for a Doctor Who episode proper in the next instalment of Century 21's mini-album range, also entitled The Daleks, which was a narrated version of the First Doctor episode "The Planet of Decision".

Notes[[edit] | [edit source]]
- Eric Winstone's last name is consistently mispelt "Winston" for this release.
- "Parker Well Done!" is an audio story of a sort, being a musical adaptation of Lady Penelope and Parker's parts in the first Thunderbirds episode, Trapped in the Sky. Sylvia Anderson, David Graham and Peter Dyneley reprised their roles from the television series as Penelope, Parker and Jeff Tracy respectively.
- In a change to the tune as originally televised on Fireball XL5, it is Ken Barrie who provides the vocals for "Fireball" instead of Don Spencer.
