Notes
(edited from Planet Of The Apes Wiki)
The Deception, together with The Surgeon, was adapted as Planet of the Apes #2: Escape to Tomorrow by George Alec Effinger, and published by Award Books.
The eighth episode to be broadcast (1st November in the USA, 1st December in the UK), this was the tenth episode filmed, chronologically, according to the Production Code.
Ron Harper later recalled the scene in which Virdon and Burke try to break into Perdix's garrison: "There was a funny moment when we had to sneak into a gorilla guard house. Jim was supposed to whisper, 'No noise'. So Jim knocks out the gorilla with a judo chop and yells at the top of his lungs, 'No noise!' I cracked up and fell to the floor. I said, 'Jim, I think you've just defeated the purpose of your line!'"
