We have just received confirmation that Stefan Arngrim will be interviewed on The Late Show with Ian Collins on UK radio channel TalkSport at approximately 12.15am UK time (4.15pm PST) tonight. There are a number of ways you can listen to the show:
Land of the Giants has definitely had an influence on television commercials including the VW Polo and Santander commercials we’ve mentioned on several occasions.
We have just seen the BBC commercial for their radio and television broadcasts of the Glastonbury Festival coming up on 22-26 June 2011, and they feature hundreds of little people seated around a giant television, ready to watch the festival.
If we can find a clip showing the commercial online somewhere, we will add a link to it.
The UK DVD release of Land of the Giants Season 2 is available from Monday 13th June 2011 and features the very special audio commentary recorded by all of the cast. Here’s a photograph taken during the recording showing the Land of the Giants cast watching the pilot episode, The Crash.
Steve Causey was taking some photographs of the night sky recently and caught this on camera:
SciFiNow issue 55 features an 8 page article on Land of the Giants and chats with Gary Conway, Heather Young, Stefan Arngrim and Giants Log about this classic television series. Available in UK stores now. The magazine can also be purchased online at the Imagine Shop.
If you’re a keen viewer of Land of the Giants, you might remember Amber Flower who played the naughty granddaughter in the episode Ghost Town. We found this clip of Amber in an earlier series, Gunsmoke, in 1965. If anyone knows what she went on to do after Land of the Giants, please do drop us a line.
