The ABC of TV (short story)
From Tardis Wiki, the free Doctor Who reference
The ABC of TV was a short story printed in TV Century 21 in 1965 that contained elements from the Doctor Who universe.
It was the second and final instalment of the short-lived Music Box series to reference the Daleks. Unlike the first, however, which explicitly set itself in TV 21's futuristic setting of 2065, The ABC of TV made no such attempt to adhere to it and is thus not considered a valid source on this Wiki.
