I've also tried all sorts of things over the years. Lately, I've settled on having either: the whole car on stands, all drums and shoes off, and wheel cylinder pistons clamped right in, or: using ratchet straps to push the shoes right in. I just found this seemed to help reduce the little hidey-holes for air pockets. I've used a one-man bleeder with good results as well. As pointed out, it only takes one little thing out of adjustment to cause this problem.
Now I haven't driven the Landie for a very long time, so I guess I'll be doing it again soon enough too!

It was last time I drove it!!!
I don't normally use or need the brakes backing out of my driveway so the first indication that I had none was when I got to the intersection a km away from home. Gears work very well as brakes, also discovered that unlike other vehicles the handbrake does not work very well to slow down a landrover.....
ChatterBox
There have been cases of the handbrake assembly being ripped off the back of the transmission when using it on the move. Maybe your shoes are covered in oil?
Come to think of it, I use the gears a lot and I don't reckon I've ever worn out the shoes in my Landie.

Originally they were - hence the rebuild - one front set covered in brake fluid from a burst wheel cylinder and one rear covered in grease from a failed hub seal. Plus a warped rear drum on the other side.
Better now and fixed with adjustment on the wheels. But is there a pedal adjustment on boosted systems? Can't seem to find any reference to it in the manual, just the steps for the non boosted type.
ChatterBox
Sorry, I meant on the handbrake, since you mentioned how it didn't seem to help that much.
No adjustment for the boosted pedal that I recall. It just bolts together.

I have had the same problem in the past, we eventually got someone into the drivers seat, pump the pedal up HARD and hold it, then crack off the brake line fitting(s) that come out of the master cyl. The pedal will sink and and you will hopefully will be amazed at the amount of air that comes out. If you have dual circuit brakes, then both lines must be done, easier if you do them one at a time. Don't worry about spillage, just nip the fitting up BEFORE you let the pedal up.
The adjustment is critical, but once you have them balanced evenly then they"re not too bad.
You may also want to see that the shoes are sitting perpendicular to the bak plate so that they are not rubbing the drum unevenly across the face,there are adjust ment bolts through the back plate for this.
Good luck,
