I watched The Girl Who Waited with my neighbor Wyatt and his intro (American) had this and I was like: "Oh my god! This is sooo cool! How have a never seen this before?"
Its alright on first watch but I can see how it would get annoying - tbh I hate these type of things before the intro's of most shows apart from the ones that rely on them like Life on Mars and Ashes to Ashes
The shows not about her!!!!! As an Australian I'm offended that we get this intro.We've been getting doctor who for decades. Don't put us in the same boat as the Amerians!!!
What a disaster! At least in England you get to the opening titles without this unneeded prologue. I mean, it's at the beginning of each and every episode in Series 6, even the more recent ones. Do we need to know how Amy Pond met the Doctor at the beginning of Let's kill Hitler? HECK NO!
Reminds me of Shiri Appleby's annoying intro before the credits roll for Roswell. Why do American TV executives always feel the need to explain things to themselves, especially in regards to British tv shows? Do they think their viewers are really that stupid not to know what Doctor Who is about?
I live here in Oz, the land down under, I am hooked to the series and I always thought that the BBC had tried this and scraped it then let Australia use it. It's a good idea, but I agree, I don't like it...
Anyone else reminded of the Buffy series title sequence? "One girl to fight the vampires, demons..." etc. etc. Because it felt like that. Not for Doctor Who. Keep it as it was for nearly 50 years!
@scribbledjoy they only played it on the first episode here where i am in maryland, east coast us, watching bbc america, and online i saw it the one time on downloaded episodes but that was it, not sure why people saw it every time, i def didn't, they just did it as a recap for newbies, and to be honest my mom n sis had never even seen one episode when i made them watch with me so it did help them out, lol!
America Got this FOR EVERY EPISODE! it was stupid shit that did not need to be there on the first place, its called the Doctor Who not The Amy Pond Adventures. and for trying to give "background info" its really shitty info. hes a time-lord his ship is the TARDIS, he comes from Gallifrey... That would be background information not "Amy pond's long winded story about how she ran away with another "man" like a whore the night before her wedding"
@Midnightmoon1209 well not in my house they didn't we got this for the first episode which was most likely to help new viewers, def helped my mom, lol, but after that episode we never saw it again and i am on the east coast of the us watching on BBC America so I have no idea what u saw or where they were showing it for every episode, since others said what I did that it played the one time. Maybe on repeats, but I never saw it again till now...
I'm guessing Amy doesn't know that the Doctor is from Gallifrey?! She says 'he comes from somewhere else' < good detail(!) And what about Rory, you know, her husband?
I hate this intro so much it kills me every time they show it, Amy at first I didn't like you then you sort of grew on me but I do not need you to to tell me your back story. As @Midnightmoon1209 said "It's Doctor Who not the Amy Pond Hour."
Series 2 finale intro was completely about rose. What the F*** IS WRONG WITH THE COMPANIONS BEING NARRATORS!!! Watch every episode, nearly all the time the companions bring something significant to the table. Doctor Who is as much about the companions as it is The Doctor. I think I've made my point.
@babylon218 Then maybe they should change it Doctor Who and His Companions if they are going to keep it up then every single companion can get a narrator spot at the beginning of every single episode even Rory can have one.
p.s. Rose had one episode of narration not every episode from the beginning of the season to the finale.
ok its was alright the first time but every freakin hour hearing about the same shit we already know about,ok Amy we get it, you were a kid and then you decided to be a whore and run away with a strange man the night before you wedding, no need to hear about it every week.
@hobbitbox Yeah, I thought so, too...when it was in its context in the episode, it felt like a much bigger build-up to the title sequence than just 'Space...1969!'
Can I just say how much this intro drives me mad. I'm an Old School Whovian (not bad given I'm 26), and this intro is... well. It doesn't tie-in with the rest of the show, and I think even goes so far as to cheapen it. Seriously, it needs to be dropped ASAP.
@BowTiesRCool are u from australia as well lol im from aussie and u said im not sure if theyll do it in australia so i thought u might of been australian
@BowTiesRCool i really don't enjoy it- they didnt have it on one episode and I first heard that it was only here on the American one and I was like "This sucks."
@ZacTerraHunterZTV In front of every episode? I think BBCA only did it for "The Impossible Astronaut," so I thought it would be the same for Australia.
I don't like it either- at first i thought it was this instead of the theme and i was like " I swear if they are gonna do that I'm walking across the Atlantic Ocean and slapping them."
This plays on the Spanish version here in Spain too, but obviously in Spanish!

Midnightmoon1209 6 months ago
Wait, so let me get this straight. America got this for one episode, and England didn't get this at all.
So basically they added this just to 'explain the storyline so far' to audiences who 'hadn't seen previous episodes'.
And yet, everyone who didn't know the story will be like, "Oh so he's an imaginary friend", because it never says that he's NOT an imaginary friend.
