What are we meant to make of that pre-titles sequence? A lot of fun, of coarse, but what was it narratively?

This is what the Doctor Who Twitter had to say:


 * "So there's this man, he has a time machine..." Wait, the Doctor is talking to us!!! 

So can this scene be valid then? How do we interpret it? Can we just take the info given for pages without questioning the narrative, like a monster narrative or an early strip with the Fourth Doctor telling a story?
