Hey all! Wanted to address this video is about the show only (I don’t have the money for all the expanded media, and cannonicity is hard to tell a lot of the time!) sorry if that wasn’t made clear enough in the video. Thanks for all the love! ❤ And a big thank you to Jack Stephens for being my first Patron!

[@imxr2429]

I love to think that the Doctor knows or suspects that they are being watched/in a TV show, but is smart enough to know that they can't really prove it, so instead, they act up their performance, explain everything aloud, and makes sure what they do is interesting to whoever may be watching them.

[@SamWickens]

I'd argue the 7th Doctor's seemingly random decision to dangle himself off a ledge in Dragonfire could be taken as evidence that he not only knew he was fictional, but understood the tropes and format of the series he was in. The episode was coming to an end, the writing formula required there to be a cliffhanger at the end of an episode and the plot hadn't created one naturally, so he, the character, decided to do one on his own for the sake of the format, and as a nod to the audience that he was aware of that he literally hung himself off a cliff, only to climb back up as soon as the next episode started because his purpose had been achieved - the story had been able to continue.

@@littleredruri how do you know? I mean David tenant is in character for all we can say is that the Doctor came in, gave us a warning, then left. Besides in the one movie with both Tennant and Smith they were taking shots at each other, my theory (unofficial) is that after that Tennant’s Doctor decided to get one last shot in at Smith’s, so he traveled to right before that was shown to make fun of his chin. Also if you think I was serious about any of this, you need to go back to school

I just wanna mention that 14 also pulled a prop out of basically nowhere similar to 12 and the cup of tea, when they just randomly pulled out a judge's wig in the middle of The Star Beast.

[@DoccyWhoTime]

Great point! Totally forgot about that. Time Lord pockets eh

[@dhi_holo]

That one is from a canonical bit of lore, which a cup of tea has a bit less explanation of. His pockets are bigger on the inside. A lot of incarnations literally have clothing with TARDIS pockets, it's stated in extended media iirc, but the groundwork was laid years prior. But how do you get a drinkable cup of tea out of a tiny pocket? More questionable

[@DrLipkin]

@@dhi_holo The inside of a Tardis (or similar space) is a different dimension, and thus has gravity that orients differently.

He did the same with a cup of water in 'return of doctor mysterio' it's one of my favorite interactions. -Where'd you get that? -My pocket. -How'd you keep a glass of water in your pocket? -Skill. So the tea thing is probably the same.

IIRC Classic Doctors in big finish acknowledge they are being watched, they assume it is the Time Lords watching.

You forgot the Fourteenth Doctor, who breaks the fourth wall at the beginning of The Star Beast. Also, you didn't mention the Twelfth Doctor addressing the audience with his monologue at the beginning of Listen.

[@cdname47]

You Give Moffat the credit for the Doctor looking like the Roman here, but it was actually RTDs idea that he told SM about when Capaldi was cast, which they joked about at some launch or wrap party or other When he was writing series 9 Moffat thought about it and e-mailed RTD to ask if he could use it, which Rusty glady agreed to.

[@jennifermcilvenny4630]

I may be wrong but I think there's a line in Heaven Sent and the doctor says " am I spoiling the magic? I work at this stuff, which feels as if it's being said directly to the audience.

[@JohnFromAccounting]

I am always up for Capaldi appreciation. It was the absolute best era of the show.

[@user-xd1cm9vu9s]

10 does a 4th wall break in The Shakespeare Code. he looks directly at the camera and says “wait ‘til you read book 7, i cried” when Martha mentions Harry Potter

[@SallyLovejoy]

I've watched Doctor Who since it first started. (Yep! I'm old.) You're absolutely right that viewers were happily surprised when William Hartnell broke the 4th wall at Christmas! Love your channel and have subscribed.

[@ZEROninja0]

There's a Virgin era book called Conundrum that's quite meta, the Doctor is in the Land of Fiction and he and his companions are literally trapped inside the actual book you're reading. What's interesting about the question of "is the Doctor aware they're a fictional character?" is at the end of the book, when they're escaping the land of fiction he has this exchange with his companion Benny: 'Great. And after that, there’ll be no one watching or reading about us anymore?’ 'No one.’ Benny smiled tightly, and they still avoided each others’ eyes. She couldn’t think of anything else to say so she left quietly, easing the door shut behind her in contrast to Ace’s rather more explosive departure. ‘Well,’ muttered the Doctor when he was sure she was out of earshot, ‘no one out of the ordinary, anyway.’ Which definitely implies the Doctor is very aware of the audience of the show and books.

[@Hexagonal_Goblin]

I have long maintained that both of 11's breaks are just him looking at the Tardis doors/Clara and the camera happens to intersect the eye-line as a directorial choice - he doesn't even know he's "looking into the camera." Most other 4th wall breaks are far more explicit turns to camera, with the doctor making an otherwise inexplicable stare into the middle distance or at a random wall as they deliver a line. So, I'd put 11 at the bottom, basically an honorable mention. But of course, this is just my interpretation.

[@tomkatt8274]

the Tardis is pan dimensional, it is in your room now

[@danielmoore9777]

You missed an instance with Eleven. He clearly looks at the camera and the end of The Wedding of River Song when Dorian is asking “Doctor Who? Doctor Who?” Over and over.

[@stephengray1344]

I'd have thought you'd have mentioned the line "I am the Doctor Whether you like it or not" from The Twin Dilemma to the section on the sixth Doctor. I don't recall the delivery of that line being particularly fourth wall breaking, but it was certainly a meta -commentary, that follows on from the line you did discuss. My favourite examples of fourth wall breaking are from the non-TV stuff. Seventh Doctor novel Conundrum is set in the Land of Fiction. Much of the novel is told in fourth-wall breaking narration by the new master of the land. But the Doctor gets in on the act a number of times. There's also an eighth Doctor comic strip in Doctor Who Magazine where he travels to the "real" world. It features Tom Baker and the first issue of DWM.

[@imafgc]

One more thing related to the 12th doctor not in the video is that in Hell Bent he plays Clara's theme on his guitar

[@filmvipers]

Well the fifteenth doctor broke the fourth wall 3 times in 2 episodes

[@Foxy02016]

I gave the fourth wall ability to my time lord character from my own Webseries. It allows me to direct while acting which makes my job easier. He’s aware he’s in a low budget Webseries, he knows he is nothing compared to The Doctor, but he knows he is gonna try to do the good thing. It also allows for a lot more jokes, including moves he may or may not have taken out of The Doctor’s playbook (Jammy Dodger bomb) I really just wanted to give the character a bit more to strengthen his abilities as he is not as smart or experienced as The Doctor, he’s only on his second regeneration after all

[@sophiachalloner8951]

The pilot is now in my watch later list. Just be aware there's already 500~ videos in there so it may take awhile.

[@bryntownshend6528]

I really appreciate your bit on the 12th doctor's arc. Personally, I think its one of the best and most underrated story arcs in the show

[@necronomiconjones8040]

Thanks for reminding me how much I really love 12.

[@TheDoctorWhoDon]

23:50 The script for this episode show that this was a scripted moment, despite the producer at the time saying it was improvised by Hartnell.

[@SonicTimewarp]

I’m surprised you didn’t mention the 4th Doctor’s speech at the end of the live action/animated Shada. That seems very much like leaning on the fourth wall at least if not breaking it by the end.

[@tidmouthmilk12]

The thing I wonder is, if some incarnations have the power whilst others don't does the Doctor remember doing it? Surely if some incarnations don't ever do it they must forget when their previous incarnations did. Either that or they know it's a power they once had but don't remember how to do. Maybe they try to do it sometimes but we the audience don't notice because they're not doing it right xD

[@sheersternfeld1914]

I don't know, 11 has lost social skills that 10 had, and forgot a lot of what is considered cultural norm. Is this really any different?

[@david6294]

Other characters in Who have broken the 4th wall. In the 5th Doctor Story "Enlightenment" Captain Wrack talks to the camera and in the 1st Doctor story "The Aztecs" Tlotoxl does it.

[@senorgooba7360]

I hope you do an update after series 14 completes airing. The couple of 4th wall breaks in the Devil's Chord (and arguably space babies) have me thinking 15 may have "the gift"

[@edb2863]

Criminally under subbed channel I love that so many fans of a time travel show didn't know "bootstrap paradox" and had to Google it. Literally the most common pitfall of time travel stories Also to add to your excellent summary of 12, I think it's a response to characters like Deadpool and Rick Sanchez, the latter being inspired somewhat by doctor who so that's cool

[@jayejaejjjeijay5648]

It's got a lot of names, though. I always knew it as an 'unfounded causality loop' or just an 'open loop'.

[@edb2863]

@jayejaejjjeijay5648 yeah true, I've always known it as the bootstrap paradox, but I can see why it could cause confusion

[@BlackMonk66]

15 definitely knows he's in a TV show. In The Devil's Chord, he says of some music "I thought that was non-diegetic." Non-diegetic music can't exist in reality. It always has to be coming from somewhere, so for him to think that music is non-diegetic, he has to know he's not real. Also, the Doctor saving Davros did have an effect. When Missy puts Clara in the Dalek armor, so that it makes her saying "I'm Clara" come out as "I'm a Dalek," the Doctor knows that something is up when the Dalek asks for mercy, but before the Doctor saved Davros, Daleks didn't have mercy in their vocabulary.

[@MeatballMusic]

dude if you had like waited 3 days you would have had so much more work lol

[@johnnygrunge477]

I think it's more interesting to think this ability, much like the rest of the Doctor's abilities and personalities and even genetic backgrounds since even if it's only recently we've had a woman Doctor and a Doctor of colour respectively, is something all iterations of the Doctor have but choose how much they wish to embrace it. The fact that it's been an on and off thing ever since even Hartnell played the role has me convinced just from an in-universe standpoint, cause that particular case had the Doctor literally drop everything and flat out tell us he knows he's a fictional character and that we're along for the ride with him. Even respects us for it in a way, too.

[@gswcooper7162]

I think that Six also had a second fourth wall-break in the final line of his first full story, "The Twin Dilemma" - when he tells Peri: "I *_am_* the Doctor... whether you like it, or not." Admittedly I don't think this was said while actually looking to camera, but I believe the comment was intentionally meant for the audience as much as for Peri. Six was stating flat-out that he was the Doctor, and they'd have to get used to him or stop watching (many of them stopped watching... but personally Six is my second-fave after Five!)

[@nathanjay7925]

you forgot the start of listen where he's sat on top of the tardis and looks at the audience

[@jackwalker1697]

Using a 4th wall breaking list to sneak in an extended piece on 12 and why he's the goat? Respect the hustle

[@NoahBrown69]

Was watching Robots of Sherwood, at the end of the episode Robin Hood straight up TELLS 12 that he is a fictional character. "You're just as real as I am." He figured it out from there. Next episode he does the Listen monologue to the camera.

[@njujuznem6554]

My favourite is the president in The Caves of Androzani. It feels almost like a Shakespearean villain when he speaks to camera

[@eow4317]

“I could’ve sworn that music was non-diegetic”

[@junecasadilla]

the 5th doctor in an audio broke the fourth wall by singing the spoken word version of the intro originally sung by the 3rd doctor, which would make 3 able to break the fourth wall too

[@biosonic100]

Not to mention the fact that 12 admits that his name is Doctor Who.

[@ejay1118]

12 does state that there's a VERY small amount of compassion in the Daleks. As the Daleks were based on Davros' mind, the compassion MUST have come from there, but where did Davros get it, from the ONE man that showed HIM compassion as a child.

[@Xyren]

I think the episode 'Extremis' from series 10 is worth mentioning here. While I'm not sure if the Doctor actually breaks the fourth wall in that episode, the whole idea of the story is to see whether the simulation Doctor is able to figure out that he's not real, which he does. Other characters did it too, but the Doctor seemed to accept it quite easily and then immediately broke the fourth wall of the simulation by sending a message to the Doctor in the real world.

[@geraldstiling3735]

Not forgetting the Never Ending Story...with the childlike Princess ❤😂

In The Tenth Planet, the First Doctor also looks into and walks towards the camera when he's about to regenerate, saying "it's far from being all over" Also the First Doctor definitely knew he was in a show on the telly because of how he referenced the audience watching at home

[@jamm6_514]

[@AdamRawlyk]

hey, i've been rewatching new who recently and i remembered this video after seeing an episode just now. You missed out an example for 11th in which at the end of Season 6, Episode 13 "The Wedding of River Song" as dorium is saying "Doctor Who?" he looks straight to camera. it may be a slight a brief one, but i think it's worth a mention :) oh and another honourable mention possibly about 33 mins into rings of akhaten, he asks "any ideas?" as if expecting a response before saying "Didn't think so." while he doesn't look to camera for it, it kinda feels like an acknowledgement that theres an external force watching him :p

[@DocBouvette]

You could also argue the opening scene of "Listen" is breaking the fourth wall with 12. He doesn't look directly into camera, but I'm pretty sure he knows we're there.

Tbh I think the 12th doctor's meta stuff is kinda like a fleabag ( awesome TV show) situation where it's not exactly just meant to be meta but it's almost like a coping mechanism for the characters, pretending they have a friend they're talking to/ someone to show off to to motivate themself, but ofc coz it's a show it's framed in a way that we are their imaginary friend.

[@AzurePastel007]

Every time I go back to rewatch season 4 and watch the Fires of Pompeii. I can't help but laugh at the thought of the 12th doctor going back just to mess with the 10th. I know that this isn't "Canon," but I still think It's funny to think about.

You actually could've brought in John Frobisher. Rtd and Moffat did indeed state that frobrisher dying was time catching up with Caecilius's family surviving. They do say they're descendant from them. 4 years later 12th comes in. So it's meta not just explained away like Martha being Adeola's cousin even though both are played by Freema. Amy gets a meta reference with her soothsayer character also in pompeii played by karen and Amy's like of ancient rome that led to the pandorica event. 15 can also break the wall you see it happen in the devil's chord along with maestro as they both play the theme (he has his own theme on vinyl lol) and 15 can actually hear the soundtrack and make the distinction between diegetic music lol.
