Hi. Couldn't find a general comment thread so I'm just gonna put this out there: In Australia we are subjected to the intro for the American broadcast, with shitty exposition about what the show is about that reduces the concept down to what it’s not about. It’s absurd, and an insult to the long time international fans that helped make the revived show successful! If American viewers do need it (even though Americans invented the internet, which they can use to look up what the show is really about!) Why are us Aussies subjected to it?!? Dr Who is as much part of our sci fi culture as it is in UK. Any answers?
