<P> 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 7.20 pm in the Radio Times . </P>
