Request - Land of the Giants

Inspired by a reader's request, and perhaps a good time to look at this show as the sixities are clearly a favourite amongst you fellow DiD fans based on the current poll.

In my humble opinion, easily the best of Irwin Allen's 60's Sci-Fi efforts - quite possibly due to the presence of the stunning Deanna Lund in the role of Valerie. I don't recall any other damsel who during the course of a show was both tied to a chess piece and stuck to a table with cellotape!

Certainly most popular is the scene from the episode The Unsuspected in which she (and unfortunately a number of putzs) spent the majority of the episode in the ropes. That scene is to come when i get a chance to rip the Season 2 DVD, but for your entertainment i present you with a clip from the first season episode, The Lost Ones.

Here Deanna finds herself in trouble (no gags, but still a nice couple of scenes) with co-star Heather Young, who incidentally probably would have been a damsel too in The Unsuspected episode had it not been for the fact she spent much of Season 2 stood behind props to cover up her pregnancy. Damn Mother Nature!

I tried to post full clip via rapidshare, but seems to be struggling with files over 20MB for some reason today, so a preview clip of the main action is below. Good news is I have been kindly invited by Stephanie over at Major Johns to have my own page, so full clip will be posted there.
