well, it's an ofca question
- so of course we're expected to know about a 1950s US mini-series, the 1996 album of some dreary crooners in a synthpop band
, and an obscure 1970 opera.
Of course. I ask you!

okely dokely
V for Victory
a 1952/53 US mini-series
the last track on an album by Orchestral Manœuvres in the Dark
an opera by Richard Rodney Bennett
and so, sneakily, - for a change - inspired by ofca - a totally unmusical round:
What W might connect
an unmusical Pygmalion
an unmusical Ring
an unmusical Ode
some unmusical Songs

...and more lovely, I would warrant.
V for Victory, but we can't really be bothered to explain it. The dreary crooners are Orchestral Manoeuvres in the Dark (OMD) anagram of MoD (geddit?)
and it's the title of an opera by your old friend Richard 'Rod me' B... Must I go on?
EDIT: Oh, praises be, Vints has done it!
