Escape:
"North of Polaris" 1953 http://www.archive.org/download/Esca...m22s_12830.mp3 Fantastic Dark OTR /Episode/show!
Was blown away by the similar ideas in this and Planet of the Apes
(which was published in the early 1960's.)
Even with a twist at the end in this Escape ep much like POTA.
And all done in 22 minutes.
This episode sounds so Rod Serling and Twilight Zone-ish and POTA-ish--
it's uncanny. (No talking apes mind you- but the new rulers of the world are pretty ravenous... Darn Rats...)
