In order to classify this as a narrative, you've got to come up with convincing arguments for a few things: Now, maybe the finale will give us answers for these. But if it doesn't, then you not only have fourth wall breakage, but you can't even begin to describe the "plot" because you have no nouns to work with. The Doctor is talking to in front of a (replica of? immobilised? android?) Clara about the mysteries that surround her. That's your plot. You've got nothing to hang your hat on, anymore than you do with Eccleston was talking about series 1 from the TARDIS interior.
 * all the props used throughout this series being littered everywhere
 * an explanation of whom they're talking to
 * a plausible narrative reason that the character not talking is standing immobile in shot

Fine, we can park this discussion until Saturday, but after that, if there aren't any answers as to what's going on here, I strongly feel we gotta put this bus in the parking lot.
