TV21 is an English group formed in Ormskirk in 1979 and originally composed of Norman Rodger, Ally Palmer, Nel Baldwin and Rob Tasker. Which will be quickly joined by Colin McLean.
The name of the group is a reference to the weekly Century 21 TV adventure comic featuring comics based on numerous shows produced by Gerry Anderson (the same one who originated the Thunderbirds TV series).
A group that will remain mainly in the musical history of the 80s for the high-caliber single "Ticking away" released in 1981.
As such, they deserved this article.

1982 ... an adventure which is already drawing to a close. The group will not have been able to find its place in the face of excessive competition which will not have given them any gift. Hard law of the trade ...
2009 ... we thought the case was folded and here they are back in the 2000s in a surprising way to say the least. With a result that will unfortunately not be better than during the 80s ...
