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.
