Doctor Who Changes Its Intro Sequence For The Second Season In A Row, And It's Another Sign "Doctor Who" Is A Show Within A Show

Warning: Turn back now to avoid spoilers for Doctor Who season 15, episode 5, "The Story and the Engine."Doctor Who has been slowly chipping away at the fourth wall since the BBC started its partnership with Disney+, and season 15's "The Story and the Engine" just repeated one of the most meta moments from Ncuti Gatwa's inaugural run as the Fifteenth Doctor. Fifteen himself has acknowledged the audience's existence as far back as his time leading Doctor Who's season 14 cast in "The Devil's Chord." However, his knowing wink down the lens pales in comparison to other self-aware moments, like the times Mrs. Flood (Anita Dobson) has spoken directly to the viewers.
