Fourth wall (disambiguation)for other, similarly-named pages.
The First Doctor wishes the viewers "A happy Christmas to all of you at home." (TV: "The Feast of Steven")
When the Doctor wished "a Happy Christmas to all of you at home", (TV: "The Feast of Steven") Iris Wildthyme had just awoken from an alcohol-induced sleep, and she staggered through the now open Fourth Wall to an snowy area where her beautiful bus stood waiting. (PROSE: From Wildthyme with Love)
When the Fifteenth Doctor and Belinda Chandra broke the fourth wall of the film strip in which they had been trapped by Lux Imperator, they found themselves in a living room with Lizzie, Robyn, and Hassan, all massive fans of a TV series called Doctor Who. Sharing tea with the fans—not to mention, their opinions on "Blink", the fans' favourite episode—the Doctor and Belinda learned a crucial clue, sourced from leaks of the episode "Lux", that would help them defeat Lux. (TV: Lux)
Behind the scenes[]
The fourth wall, initially a piece of theatre terminology, has been "broken" numerous times in the DWU; however, From Wildthyme with Love marks the first time the fourth wall itself has been mentioned in-universe.
However, despite the fourth wall being acknowledged (as well as the exact circumstances around it from The Daleks' Master Plan), Iris Wildthyme escapes through it to another in-universe location. This is yet another story which implies the existence of an in-universe version of the Doctor Who TV series.
