Watching the Michael E. Briant 'In Conversation' on the #Blakes7 Season 1 Blu-ray. The interview covers his career from child-actor, to directing #DoctorWho, Blake's 7, #SecretArmy etc etc. He mentions #JohnChristopher (#Tripods) without whom this podcast wouldn't exist! @sylepress.bsky.social

💙📚If you want to introduce your kids to Sci Fi and just great reading you might want to try John Christopher's Tripod books, 4 of them. There were the initial 3 and a later prequel. Excellent series and I believe was also a TV series in the UK. #BlueSkyBooks #Tripods #JohnChristopher
Book cover. The City of Gold and Lead by John Christopher (Tripods #2) Book cover. The Pool of Fire by John Christopher (boy in balloon) (Tripods #3) Book cover.

If it weren't for these three books, I may have landed in a very different career. All three were read at a young age and made a lifelong impression on me.

I meant to post this yesterday on what would have been John Christopher's 103rd birthday but I forgot so, better late than never, here's a terrific BBC Radio 4 dramatisation of arguably his greatest work.

'The Death of Grass', by John Christopher. A black cover with a photograph of fronds of green grass on it. The grass is dramatically backlit and seems to be covered in dew or frost.

Holiday #reading for #Scotland trip arrived. Note to self… ‘offensive’ language not allowed when giving feedback on eBay! I altered ‘idiot’ to ‘buffoon’ and that was OK apparently. In hindsight I prefer that! Going to use it more.

Cover of the tripods by John Christopher Back cover: The Tripods are Coming! The Tripods are Coming! THE TRIPODS ARE HERE! Massive, alien machines, the Tripods had ruled Earth for hundreds of years and enslaved the minds and bodies of most adults through the silvery caps they made them wear. Determined to escape the ritual Capping ceremony, Will Parker runs away, heading for the distant White Mountains and the small rebel camp there, hoping to join their desperate attempts to overthrow the rule of the Tripods. The journey is long, the missions dangerous and the hope of survival very slim... John Christopher's almost unbearably exciting trilogy appears for the first time in one volume: The White Mountains, The City of Gold and Lead, The Pool of Fire EBay review Excellent condition excellently packaged! Great looking book - looking forward to revisiting this (and read the final book that wasn't filmed thanks to that idiot Michael Grade of the BBC) EBay review Excellent condition excellently packaged!

SF short story where a clunky disquiet reveals itself as dystopia (masquerading as tightly regulated survival colonisation). Christopher hints at a greater storyline, and one can imagine this as a much longer work. The ending, however, proves a banal sort of twist. #JohnChristopher #TheDrop
Magazine cover: Galaxy (March 1953); review of “The Drop” by John Christopher, reprinted Science Fiction Stories, ed. Tom Boardman Jr. (Octopus, 1979), 198-214.

Before we made co-host Dani watch classic #SciFi TV shows & movies, we made a podcast series discussing #JohnChristopher 's #Tripods Trilogy of novels, #BBC TV series, merchandise. We interviewed the main cast, Producer, and #SamYoud 's children who run his literary estate. anchor.fm/the-tripodscast
Tripodscast - Exploring The Tripods Trilogy by John Christopher. Episode 1: The White Mountains. Now a thrilling podcast series! Main image is a photo of three teenage boys dressed in 19th century country-wear. l-r Will Parker (John Shackley), Henry Parker (Jim Baker), and Bean-pole (Ceri Seel). They're smiling at the camera while they sit/stand by the side of a wooden cart in front of grass/trees.

If @NetflixUK are interested in new tv shows? How about the John Christopher trilogy, The Tripods, great for teens and adults. The BBC tried to film them but didn't have the technology we have today. #johnchristopher #thetripods
