I believe many programmes used a 'Bible', especially the long running
ones. STAR TREK is
one example of these that used one - contradictions and all....

UFO did have a series bible, of sorts. I have never seen the original
documents, but I did see a "prettied up" version in old issues of
Fanderson's "FAB" magazine. I had been waiting for those back issues to
become unavailable before asking permission if I could post it on my
website... although I think these issues are still available... (?)

more important then having a bible, you need a Gene Roddenberry to oversee the scripts.

One example, City on the Edge of Tomorrow. Original story had Scotty making drugs down in engineering and McCoy accidentally overdosing, going crazy. Roddenberry said his star fleet crew aren't drug dealers and changed it to have McCoy accidentally injecting himself with the medicine that saved Sulu's life.

Harlan Ellison's book on the writing, rewriting and filming of this episodeis... revealing. Certainly puts everyone in a different light. What he forgets to add in the book is that in writing a sequence like the one quoted below, he clearly didn't 'get' Star Trek.'s brief He blames everyone else, but it's VERY funny nevertheless.
