I'm surprised to hear the BBC wouldn't show Star Trek. Their own series Blake's Seven was at least as violent as Trek, and the original Doctor Who was at times more gruesome.
On the other hand, it was unconvincingly low-budget violence, which may have made a difference.
There were four TOS episodes that for many years weren't shown on the BBC. I think they were left out of the original run (c. 1969) because of attitudes back then, and it just took a long time for somebody to include them in a repeat showing.
Anyway, they were "The Empath," "Whom Gods Destroy," "Plato's Stepchildren" and "Miri."
