BBC Glastonbury Commercial

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.

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.
