Good point! That brings up some questions that always bugged me about the show.
1. Everyone speaks English. (although they explained it in the Pompeii episode) 2. The use of mechanical levers and whatnot. For example Dr.Who goes to end of the universe 1 trillion years into the future. Everyone still pretty much look human, and they had technology that look like it was built in the 1980s. That included mechanical devices and levers. 3. The TARTIS looks like a tribute to steampunk. Very whimsical with all of the spinning and hitting stuff to make it run. 4. The Doctor didn't think of updating the door lock until the next to last episode with a car alarm and stealth mode. 5. He leaves stuff laying around all the time. For example, the watch. Does it still have information in it? You would think that information would fall into the wrong hands right? 6. What is the deal with stuff happening on Christmas day? That seems to have happened 4 or 5 times with this doctor. 7. With so many hostile alien invasions happening in London you would think that people would be a little more responsive when something weird happens. Right?
