Doctor Who bringing back cold open

OHMYGOSSIP — ‘Doctor Who’ is bringing back the cold open for Jodie Whittaker’s second season.
The 37-year-old actress returns as the Time Lord for the BBC show and producers have decided to bring back the pre-credits scene after initially axing it for her first series.
Head writer and showrunner Chris Chibnall told RadioTimes.com: “It’s back – episode one. There were just some episodes this year where I thought ‘Oh, that’ll be a great cold open.
“You won’t necessarily get the ‘scream’ of the opening theme, because the score will go into the titles and stuff like that. But yes [they’re back]!.
“It wasn’t an absolute, hard and fast rule [last year] – I just think what you always want to do is, particularly now it’s series 12 of the revived series, you just want to be doing different things all the time, really.
“So some have a cold open, some don’t. I think the danger is, if you shape everything towards it all the time then your shapes will become predictable.”
And Chris insisted it is important that the show remains flexible and open to new ideas.
Chris said: “I think it’s really important in a time when television is moving so fast and there’s so much content, that nothing feels too fixed. It’s really important for the show.
“The show’s gotta be nimble, and so when you turn on you’re not quite sure whether you’re going to get a pre-titles, you’re not quite sure whether you’re going straight into the credits. I think that’s really good, that it should be per whatever the series demands, whatever the episode demands.”
