Land of the Giants premiered on US TV on 22 Sept 1968.

In the UK, I discovered it in 1969 through Joe 90: Top Secret comic, then finally saw the series on ITV in ’72.

Land of the Giants came into my life at a very important time. I was being traumatised by a real-life ogre of my own – my drunken and violent father. Whenever I suffered another “accident”, I thought of the crew of the Spindrift. If they could survive their ordeal, then so could I.

I will always be grateful.
