1960’s U.N.C.L.E. Movies
Eight man from U.N.C.L.E. movies were produced during the 1960’s , being comprised of re-edited previously seen TV episodes, often with small bits of additionally shot footage.
The eight films were:
Logan’s Run MGM (Film 1976) TV series CBS-TV 1977 – 1978
Short lived adventure series based on the novel and hit 1976 feature film.
Set in a post apocalyptic future, civilisation exists in the “city of domes” a closeted civilisation unaware of anything out side of the dome. All aspects of society are controlled and the population kept in check by a voluntary euthanasia.
A crystal embedded in a persons palm at birth begins to flash upon them reaching their 30th birthday, or “last day” at which time they must submit to “carousel” a spectacular extermination ceremony where they believe they can achieve rebirth. There is an underground group however , who believe that rebirth is just a myth and instead become “runners” to try and escape and instead find “sanctuary”. A mythical place outside the city where people can live in peace and grow old.
These runners are pursued by the “sandmen”, the elite police force of this world, who’s main job is to terminate runners. Logan is a sandman, but he has been persuaded by Jessica to join her in her hunt for sanctuary. The 1976 movie featured Michael York and Jenny Agutter as Logan and Jessica while in the television series these roles were taken by Gregory Harrison and Heather Menzies.
While the concepts behind both series and film remained the same, the film largely dealt with Logan and Jessica’s escape from the “city of domes” while the series presented the opportunity to explore the outside world and encounters with other societies that had formed in the world outside the city. It is during one of their first encounters outside that Logan and Jessica meet Rem , an android, who was to become the third series regular played by Donald Moffat. The final regular of the TV cast was Randy Powell who played Francis a sandman and former partner of Logan, who would relentlessly pursue them throughout the series run.

It may surprise many, but I was never really that much of a fan of Star Wars, hence why there is so little related that series of films in the museum. The bulk of what there is is either from the original film or a general item that also features other films/shows as well as Star Wars.

Planet of the Apes 1968 Onwards
Planet of the Apes started as a series of 5 movies in 1968, based on the book Monkey Planet by French author Pierre Boulle.
The original films were:
Planet of The Apes (1968)
Beneath the planet of the Apes (1970)
Escape from the Planet of the Apes (1971)
Conquest of the Planet of the Apes. (1972)
Battle for the Planet of the Apes (1973)
Planet of the Apes (TV Series 1974) A live action TV series then followed in 1974. Most of the memorabilia for Planet of the Apes seems to have been produced around the time of this short lived TV series. The TV series followed two astronauts Alan Virdon (Ron Harper) and Pete Burke (James Naughton) who like Heston before them find themselves thrust into the future world where apes now control society.
Unlike the film where humans had been mute roaming gatherer tribes, humans were now a subservient race, used as slaves to the apes. They had also regained their use of speech.
Roddy McDowell veteran of the Apes movies played Galan the chimp who befriends and aids the astronauts in their adventures in this future world. Throughout they are pursued by Urko (Mark Lenord) a gorilla who sees them as a threat to simian society as their superior knowledge could destabilise ape supremacy over man.
While popular in the UK, the series failed to find the required U S audience, CBS cancelling production midway through the season only 14 hour long episodes being made out of an originally intended 24 episodes.
Return to the Planet of the Apes (TV Series 1975) A 13 episode long cartoon series appeared in 1975. This cartoon series seemed to be the end of the line, until in 2001 Tim Burton was to film a re-imagining of the original movie
Planet of the Apes (2001)
Rise of the Planet of the Apes (2011) It was to another 10 years before the apes made a reappearance. This was followed by :
Dawn of the Planet of the Apes (2014)
War of the Planet of the Apes (2017) Currently there is talk of a follow up movie slated for release in 2017.
