We have seen such staged usage on many series for other guest cast members of all types or animals. Remember in the '70s, adding a chimp to Ark II as a regular cast member or Space Academy guest cast was because kids [ me being one in them in the '70s] were fascinated by chimps because of the PLANET OF THE APES franchise.<br /><br />SGBSGBhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07137406272001346149noreply@blogger.com
