Actually, there is a huge difference: there is absolutely no way you could possibly reason that Strax advertising the Who YouTube channel is narrative. No way. It's an ad; it's not even meant to be narrative, nor does it follow any sort of storyline. I also don't think it's really anything like the s1 trailer you referenced, although I do see where you're coming from.

The big difference here, I think, is authorial intent. It's clearly intended to be a narrative prequel — it gets its own set, its own title — it's even marketed at a prequel!

Also, your "they broke the fourth wall" accusation doesn't hold much water if we continue to cover things like Music of the Spheres, the ultimate fourth wall destroyer. I mean, that fourth wall didnt just break — it imploded!
