      like when Colin Baker says "I'm the doctor whether you like it or not," in the scene he's obviously talking to his companion but with how the camera is positioned it makes it so he's also telling that to the audience, yknow? I would say it counts

    I feel like the advent of video calling has altered the way camera looks can be understood.
    Some of them read as though they were looking at the audience, like a 4th wall break, but sometimes like in the TDOTD his "no sir all 13" it reads as though he's looking at the Timelords through a video call.
    And some of the old episodes are kinda recontextualized through this. The random people on the street. To me they aren't looking at me, they are looking at whoever is opposite them, because it's a public place and there are undeniably more people there

    There's also the second time Maestro plays the dum-dum-dum of the theme in the dystopian future where she's taunting the Doctor. - This is sort of disputed though, I thought it was that initially, the BBC Iplayer subtitles support me whereas the Disney+ subtitles list it as the "Saxon theme" which makes no sense in this context.

      Trust the iPlayer one, they're probably working from the actual scripts. For stupid contractual/business related reasons, Disney and everyone else has to do their own transcriptons for their subtitles, leading to many errors. The "Saxon theme" reference suggests they've got a fan working on it who's not as clever as they think they are.

    Spiking the camera (or "looking at the camera") is not inherently a 4th wall break. It can be, but it's the intent behind it that makes it a 4th wall break. For example: Martha could have just as easily looking at whoever was adjacent to her around the console.

      A character talking to themself is not breaking the 4th wall. Not even if they happen to be facing the 4th wall at the time. The break happens if they show awareness of what's behind the wall (us!).

    I get that if you'd included all of the talking straight to the audience in "The Caves of Androzani" -- which is one reason I hate this episode so much -- you'd easily double the length of this video, but only using two clips from it is selling it very, very short.
