when did star trek first air in the uk
List of Star Trek: The Original Series episodes Star Trek was first broadcast in the UK on BBC One starting on July 12, 1969 with the episode "Where No Man Has Gone Before". The first episode broadcast in color was "Arena" on November 15, 1969. The running order was very different from the US original with the episodes being shown in four seasons between 1969 and 1971. The Cage was first transmitted on Sky One in July 1990 and three episodes, "Plato's Stepchildren", "The Empath" and "Whom Gods Destroy" were not broadcast on the BBC until early 1994. Sky One were the first to show them in their run that started in 1990 (though Sky were supplied with the BBC edited versions of the series) and tellingly the three "banned" episodes were the only ones that had the opening titles in the right place, having never been shown by the BBC although "The Empath" is listed for transmission on Wednesday December 16, 1970 at 7.20pm in the Radio Times.[40]
