In the preview trailer for the next episode, In the Forest of the Night, we see a London bus in the forest. If we look closely, we can see what appears to be a promotional shot of The Doctor and Clara with the quote "A-Maze-Ing Entertainment!" and four stars below it.
Here is the original piece that the art belongs to. This is a fan-made wallpaper photoshopped from the official promotional images released early this year. The creator, Logan Fulford, originally uploaded the wallpaper to his Flickr account late January. It can be noted how we don't see the logo on the bus.

What an intriguing visual observation you've made! Just for the hell of it, here's another - as "Flatline" comes to a close, we (SPOILER ALERT!) see Missy examining her iPad (iPromised?) in a darkened room. Well, I say darkened - in fact, we can see a symbol behind her which appears to resemble a circle with a secondary circle akin to a tear-drop protruding out of it. Which classic adversaries' eyes spring to mind based on that description? Hint: they're appearing in this year's season finale, "Dark Water / Death in Heaven"...
Will need to rewatch but good spot.
The quote portion ('a-maze-ing entertainment') is from a Maze Runner bus ad. They's photoshopped on the DW wallpaper to cover up the Maze Runner characters and title. I think they hired the bus complete with the Maze Runner ad then covered it up in post, so I suspect this is just an easter egg.
Here's the same Ad for a different shaped bus (so the quote is on the left not the right): https://twitter.com/TheMazeRunnerID/status/515505113327087616
My Favorite "Forth Wall" break is In Heinlein's "The Number of the Beast": 4 travelers move between alternate realities where every beloved piece of Fiction exist... At one point they quickly leave when they see a comic book featuring themselves...
Check out "Redshirts" by John Scalzi, if you like that kind of thing.
Check out Jorge Luis Borges' Library.
