    The Sci-fi Section doesnt have a general subforum so i posted here should suffice.

    I went downstairs and just looked around at the television and saw a guy that looked like one of the main characters from the show. i dont know how it triggered that memory but I instantly pictured the guy in his little red suit with the little red spaceship

    As a reminder i searched tv.com
    This two-season series details the adventures of the three crew and four passengers of the sub-orbital spacecraft Spindrift. They are drawn through a space warp that crashes them onto a planet where everything is 12 times normal size. The castaways struggle to repair their damaged craft and somehow get back to Earth while being hunted by the totalitarian government that rule the planet....

    Then chanced youtube; Here's the Intro:

    If you look in the related section you'll find clips from the show

    ah Nostolgia. Reminds me of how i felt when i realised that macgyver was being repeated on bravo a few years ago

    Watched every Sunday as a kid. BRILLIANT.

    On a tangent to that I'm downloading, Baron Munchausen now. Saw the video in a charity shop a few years ago and walked passed it. I was raging I did. Saw it on a torrent site yesterady. Watch that puppy later on methinks.

    Brilliant show, remember it well. I have the DVDs. How they managed to spend so much per episode, I don't know! :)
    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.

    It was one of my favourites, I absolutely loved it. The big giant fake hands, cats paws, all class. What was the chubby characters name, the one that spoke funny.
