Description

Back to the '60 TV! Land of the Giants is an American television show of the 1960s which tells the tale of the crew and passengers of a sub-orbital transport spaceship (the Spindrift) which is accidentally transported to a world in which all life forms are huge in comparison to them. These giants are in form entirely human, but their society is a dictatorship of which not too many details are given, and which employs no symbols. Episodes often have the plot of giant scientists capturing one of the passengers or crew, with the rest having to rescue them. It was created by Irwin Allen on the template of his Lost in Space. There is a foolish, greedy traitor in an American uniform who continually tries to deceive the boy in the cast, just like Doctor Zachary Smith. The co-pilot is notably an African-American. With a 250,000 US$ budget per episode, Land of the Giants set a new record. The actors had to be in top shape, as they had to do many stunts themselves, such as climbing giant curbs, phone cords, ropes and such. The series ran from September 1968 to September 1970 on ABC. Portraited here is the "Spindrift" spaceship, the "hero" spaceship of the series.
