At any rate, I've been taking a look at other trailers that should be reevaluated if narrative trailers are indeed made valid:


 * TV: Meet the Thirteenth Doctor: No more fourth-wall-breaking than the end of The Name of the Doctor — the Doctor just stands still weirdly long for the final frame as “Introducing X as the Doctor” text appears. It consists entirely of newly-shot footage while its storyline as such may be simple, it's no more bare-bones than Prequel (The Wedding of River Song).
 * HOMEVID: Revisitations 2: Described on the page as "a new narrative created by using old footage from these stories." Doesn't appear to break the fourth wall. I haven't seen it myself, though.
 * TV: 25th Anniversary: Also described by its page as a fully narrative trailer consisting of newly-filmed McCoy/Aldred material with the Seventh Doctor and Ace. I also haven't seen it.
 * TV: Seasn 17: Identical in format to the two Doctor Who YouTube Channel trailers that sparked this whole discussion: a self-contained, original-material-consisting little minisode with Tom Baker as the Fourth Doctor with a more convention trailer tacked on at the end.
