In recent years, on both syndicated and commercially released prints, this has been replaced with the the version which was used on all subsequent episodes—a version which, in my opinion, is far less dramatic. Fortunately, I still have audio recordings of the episode with the original theme. Not being musically erudite, I lack the terminology to describe it accurately. All I can say is it was a more aggressive arrangement, in which the piano “back-beat” was stronger and more dominant.    •     The eyepatch worn by Woodrow Parfrey (as chimpanzee prefect Veska) in this episode was not originally intended to be part of his costume. On the day he reported for filming, it was found that he had an infection in his right eye, and was unable to have makeup applied around it. Someone came up with the idea of using an eyepatch to mask the affected area while enabling the rest of his face to carry the chimpanzee appliance. The final result made his character uniquely distinctive and memorable!
