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.

Researching The Poseidon Adventure

Posted on by

We have spent several weeks trying to identify as many of the cast of The Poseidon Adventure as we can. We still have several names and faces we’re trying to match up, and would welcome help from any movie buffs who would like to participate in this research.  We feel it is important that this is done in order to pay tribute to the many performers who don’t always get the credit they deserve.  If you can help, please contact IANN.

We have also added some galleries of photos of the Queen Mary, the Poseidon filming miniature, a selection of storyboards, and pages of the shooting schedule.

Amber Flower

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.
