I think it was a good move to not pick up directly from the cliffhanger.

I disagree. I think cliffhangers should be resolved from picking up exactly where it left off. It just makes sense.
That is one thing I didn’t like about the first episode of the Twelfth Doctor. At the end of “Time of Doctor”, the Tardis is crashing and the Doctor doesn’t remember how to land it. Next we see dinosaur appear in the Victorian Era, with the Tardis in its mouth. No explanation as to how we got from point A to point B.
this way newcomers can absolutely tune in without feeling like they have missed anything at all.
It is not too difficult for newcomers to watch “Twice Upon a Time”.
One thing that did surprise me was that right before the premier, instead of airing “Twice Upon a Time” (which is what they should have done), then instead showed “Day of the Doctor”.
