Quick nonspoilery Doctor Who question

[donutsweeper]

I don't get BBC America, but my internet provider has 'On Demand' where it shows recent episodes of a lot of shows and one is DW so I am catching up on the newest series.

Every episode, after the opening sequence but before the credits has an opening soliloquy thing with scenes from S5 and a voice-over by Amy.

Did this air in the BBC version? Just the BBCA version? Or just a random weird thing.

Exactly!

Agree with unfeathered - it's pretty dopey.

I guess people just tuning in to Doctor Who for the first time won't be too bothered by it, though.

For the first episode, yeah, maybe.. but in overall? Dumb

It reminds me of the Charlie's Angels opening which explained the show...for years!

that *used* to be the way of things. The old battlestar galactica, Star Trek, heck even going way back- land of the giants and whatnot.

Today though? Not so much
