<Tr> <Td> 78 </Td> <Td> "All Our Yesterdays" </Td> </Tr> <Tr> <Td> 79 </Td> <Td> "Turnabout Intruder" </Td> </Tr> <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> <P> The BBC broadcast versions of the episodes differed from the way they had been shown in America . The opening elements of each episode were transposed so that the title sequence was the first thing seen, followed by the teaser, and then into the rest of the episode without a pause . These prints were used up until the 1990s but for their new run the BBC were supplied with NTSC tape transfers instead of new film prints . This resulted in the odd blurry appearance that viewers were getting used to on new US shows at the time . Season one was shown and at least some episodes had edits that matched the syndication cuts of the US episodes "The Menagerie" Part 1 for instance . Viewers complained and the BBC obtained film prints from season two, although for some reason the old edited version of "The Deadly Years" was shown in the first 1990s repeat . </P>
