Fireball XL5

"Fireball XL5" was a song. Frobisher sang it to annoy Professor Strut, a hater of music. (COMIC: The Gift) "I wish I was a spaceman, the fastest guy alive! I'd fly around the universe in Fireball XL5."

- A line of the song.

Fireball XL5 was among the things the Eleventh Doctor associated with the "swinging sixties". (AUDIO: Hunters of Earth)

Behind the scenes

 * Barry Gray composed this theme song to the Century 21 Productions show of the same name. Century 21's music label issued this song on a record that also included a version of the Doctor Who theme.
 * Dennis Spooner wrote for two episodes of the series and Alan Fennell wrote for eleven.
 * David Graham voiced the character Lt. 90.
 * When the comic appeared in TV Comic, it was written by Fennell with art by Neville Main. Later rights to publish comics were transferred to TV Century 21. Faux news-blurbs printed on the last panel of each page of The Dalek Chronicles were often connected to the Firebird XL5 comic and remained intact on some of Marvel Comics' reprints.
