The Daleks' Master Plan is a definite breach of the 4th wall, since the Doctor addresses the audience directly. The others are arguable.
In Remembrance of the Daleks, we don't (quite) get to hear the name of the programme. It's self-referential but doesn't really breach the 4th wall.
In Blink, not seeing the Angels move is really just giving the audience the same point of view as the characters and that's not breaking the 4th wall.
The Wedding of River Song is again self-referential but no more.
As far as I can recall, The Daleks' Master Plan is the only unambiguous breach in the show's history. --78.146.183.1talk to me 22:53, January 6, 2012 (UTC)
