The short flirted with the notion of breaking the fourth wall in a way never seen before in Doctor Who. In the version available online, the viewer got to see none of the action from the Royal Albert Hall. Thus, David Tennant appeared to be spending great lengths of time looking directly into the camera — normally a sure sign that an actor is breaking the fourth wall. Indeed, he did break the fourth wall — but only the one separating Tennant from the Royal Albert Hall audience. Other versions of the short, such as the one broadcast by BBC One, captured audience reaction. These shots made it clearer that the Doctor was only interacting with the Albert Hall audience. From the perspective of the home audience, the Albert Hall audience was a part of the narrative, and the fourth wall remained

  • The short flirted with the notion of breaking the fourth wall in a way never seen before in Doctor Who. In the version available online, the viewer got to see none of the action from the Royal Albert Hall. Thus, David Tennant appeared to be spending great lengths of time looking directly into the camera — normally a sure sign that an actor is breaking the fourth wall. Indeed, he did break the fourth wall — but only the one separating Tennant from the Royal Albert Hall audience. Other versions of the short, such as the one broadcast by BBC One, captured audience reaction. These shots made it clearer that the Doctor was only interacting with the Albert Hall audience. From the perspective of the home audience, the Albert Hall audience was a part of the narrative, and the fourth wall remained intact — if a little battered.
