The Daleks' Master Plan - The Christmas episode
"The Feast of Steven" (episode 7) was the only time the series directly broke the fourth wall by addressing the audience. However, Tom Baker would sometimes give his lines while looking directly at the camera. In The Caves of Androzani, the character Morgus makes private comments as a theatrical aside to the camera, whilst Colin Baker delivers one of his first lines as the Doctor directly to the camera as well.
Tosh and producer John Wiles would later claim that the scene where the Doctor and his companions celebrate Christmas was not originally in the script, and that either the scene was hastily written by Camfield when the episode ran short due to Hartnell omitting some of his dialogue or that Hartnell made an unscripted ad lib. It is unclear if Peter Purves and Jean Marsh were aware of this. However, it appears on Camfield's camera script and it was indeed common practice at the time for BBC shows to have a direct address to camera for a Christmas episode, whilst editing would have allowed for the removal of the line if necessary.
