The audience is the fourth wall, the other three are the stage. Yes, I think this was probably the first, it came out of his stage performances in 'A funny thing happened on the way to the forum' a few years before, I think. It was a feature of all his TV work (Galton & Simpson, Cryer) from about '64.
