[edit] Origin of surname

Is Youd an English surname? Badagnani 05:33, 19 May 2007 (UTC)

This article says both that the novels are hard to get or out of print, and that they are collectors' items. It also that (at least some of them) are widely read. Surely, this is contradictory. —Preceding unsigned comment added by 62.232.221.61 (talk) 08:36, 4 October 2007 (UTC)

[edit] Star Trek link

In his day, John Christopher was a popular enough writer that he warranted what has become a tradition in Star Trek by paying homage to famous SF writers through naming characters, places and often space programs after them. In the first season episode "Tomorrow is Yesterday" of the original Star Trek series, the Air Force pilot beamed aboard the Enterprise was named John Christopher. —Preceding unsigned comment added by Emyvine (talk • contribs) 16:46, 18 February 2008 (UTC)
