I get why they banned the one they banned (even though I wouldn't have been okay with it at the time), I just think it's funny because Up the Long Ladder is basically "let's cram as many Irish stereotypes into one episode as we possibly can" and they didn't think that it might be extremely offensive to Irish people.
EDIT: Just the very concept that Irish people would colonize another planet in order to be pig farmers is pretty offensive.
