''[[TV Century 21]]'' was written with the intent that all the stories and articles printed within described a single fictional future history of the [[solar system]] with a couple of series set in [[1960s|the present day]] only accessible via the use a [[TV21 Time Machine|time machine]].

The most regular format for these crossovers were the cover stories, framed as the [[front page]] of an in-universe periodical which detailed the contents of the issue ahead as [[news]] stories. The Daleks shared the [[headline]]s with stories relating to ''Fireball XL5'' and ''Stingray'' both on ten occasions each and with ''Thunderbirds'' six times. Although there was little interaction between the stories, the relationship between the series was not understated. ''[[Tempest Awarded V.M. (short story)|Tempest Awarded V.M.]]'', for example, featured an image of a Dalek alongside a large [[colour]] [[photograph]] of [[Captain]] [[Troy Tempest]] of ''[[Stingray (ship)|Stingray]]''. The "Stop Press" panel at the conclusion of each part of ''The Daleks'' also provided crossovers between the [[Doctor Who universe|''Doctor Who'' universe]] and the supermarionation universe on an almost-weekly basis for all two [[year]]s that the strip was published in the magazine. Although the single panel sometimes hosted appearances from regular characters such as [[Penelope Creighton-Ward]] of ''Thunderbirds'', [[Wilbur Zero|Commander Zero]] of ''Fireball XL5'', and [[Phones Sheridan]] of ''Stingray'', they were often more peripherally centred. For example, despite the mention of the [[Canadian Forest Fire Patrol]] in ''[[The Archives of Phryne (comic story)|The Archives of Phryne]]'', the organisation was not seen or heard from in the corresponding ''Thunderbirds'' story ''Blazing Danger''. | The most regular format for these crossovers were the cover stories, framed as the [[front page]] of an in-universe periodical which detailed the contents of the issue ahead as [[news]] stories.
