There is a statue of the Giles family in Queen Street in Ipswich, England. Grandma made a cameo appearance in DC Comics' Superman: True Brit. The appearance of Mrs. Henriot-Gulch in the comic Cerebus is closely based on Grandma. The family appeared in TV cartoon ads for tea, one of which included Grandma racing around on her motorbike.
