Looks like I did the right thing, when I stopped watching Dr. Who, when Matt Smith(my favorite Dr. Who actor) left. I just didn't like Peter Capaldi and stopped watching. The writers have such a lax job, that they can't imagine needing a blade to complete the work or perform day-to-day tasks. Some of us have to actually work and need tools.

Personally I thought the episode with the diamond wall was awesome.

well folks no offense meant, I don't know how to service all my Electronics, devices and stuff either What I meant is that they are probably people with "accommodated lives" (nothing wrong with that) who live in a city where most things do not require the use of knives, tools, or other hand working, physical tasks and demanding efforts thus they don't carry a knife with them and likely see little use in doing that other than what the TV and movies have shown the last decades (knives are for murderers, vandals, outlaws and criminals )
No offence taken.
Its OK though. If the writer ever asks to borrow my knife for the clamshell packaging on his/her new (fill in the blank with funny object of choice), they will get a fat, resounding NOPE.
so, Ep.1: Only idiots carry knives. Ep.2: an "idiot" cuts something that is choking another character and about to suffocate him to death by quickly using and deploying a thumbstud folder (aka "deadly knife" under UK law eyes ) and it's really uncommon to see knives on the Doctor Who show, let alone one actually being used, and not only displayed or carried

I carry a OHO every single day with no issues here in London.
