Return Of The Title Sequence!

[StephenG]

I am unsure as to where to post this as this is my first post here.

I can't find out more info about the new opening titles...it seems they were shown with Xander in Australia but not in the UK. After Xander and Rose left, the opening titles were shown without him and Rose.

But now it seems the opening titles are gone now from Channel 5 in UK. I am in Ireland and watch this on Channel 5, not RTÉ due to subtitling problems. Is Channel 5 censoring the opening titles? Back to what ITV has done with the closing credits. Has anyone been in contact with Channel 5?

The episodes are created without the extended opening titles in place, and it's down to the individual broadcasters to choose whether they use them, or keep the short opener as it is. So it's not a case of 'censoring' them, rather just not taking the time to edit them on.

They're only used in Australia on occasion.

I know am gutted that they have disappeared but I thought maybe it's to do with air time since channel 5 are running a competition at the advert and that runs for a good min or two

I wondered if it was more for the benefit of 7+, as sometimes it can take time for a stream to get up to speed and you don't get HD pictures for the first 10-15 seconds.

Hence we've seen a sort of resurgence in opening titles generally after the trend to not have them at all in the late 2000's.  H&A ditched theirs around the time Lost was hot property.
