(CNN) - Six years before Capt. Kirk and Lt. Uhura locked lips on "Star Trek" in what is often credited as TV's first interracial kiss, another couple were pushing boundaries

Newly uncovered footage from the British Film Institute (BFI) shows a black man and a white woman kissing in a televised play of "You in Your Small Corner," in 1962.

In 1960s Britain such displays of affection were unheard of on the small screen, and the institute believes this is not just the earliest interracial kiss on British TV -- but possibly the world.

The play aired years before the famous 1968 "Star Trek" scene starring William Shatner and Nichelle Nichols -- believed to be the first interracial kiss on U.S. TV.
