Breaking the fourth wall: Jon Pertwee in Doctor Who: The Five Doctors: Special Edition
Originally uploaded by feelinglistless.

Pertwee inadvertantly looks into the lense during one of many particularly long scenes in this special anniversary edition of Doctor Who. I'm not sure if this appeared in the programme when it was originally broadcast, but the look is fairly ghostly, as though he's wondering why the camera hasn't moved away yet. Tom Baker's incarnation would look into the camera intentionally all the time to crack some joke, but they don't count. It's only glances such as this, so scary in their own way, which appear here.

Mentioned in a Tachyon TV podcast.
