Line 102:
* The 2008 [[Doctor Who Expanded Universe]] novel ''Ghosts of India'' has the Doctor trusting an alien on the grounds the alien is making tea, adding "[[Doctor Who/Recap/S31/E03 Victory of the Daleks|The Daleks never made me tea]]."
* The children's novel ''The Twenty-One Balloons'' has the protagonist landing on Krakatoa shortly before the fateful volcanic eruption. He meets a secluded society whose men are named "Mr. (letter)". This naming convention results in two Hilarious In Hindsight moments: 1)the first person the protagonist meets on the island is named [[Arrested Development|Mr. F]] and 2) a later one named man on the island goes by [[The A-Team|Mr. T]].
* [[Young Adult Literature|Juvenile]] science fiction novel ''Rocket Jockey'', published in 1952 by Lester del Rey (under the name Philip St. John), mentions in the prologue that the first human to set foot on the Moon, in 1964, was named Armstrong. Five years early, and del Rey's Armstrong was a major, not an ex-navy civilian, but still.
