If you’re going to point out historical mistakes, there’s a much,
much bigger one than minor details technical about the recording
equipment.

If that was London in early 1963, then why wasn’t there snow
piled up on the ground everywhere? This was the worst winter
of the 20th century, but no sign of that in the episode!

Even if you try to blame it on Maestro changing history, that
just opens up more problems. As the Doctor explains to Ruby,
he lived through the original version of this time. He should’ve been 
surprised and confused when he stepped out of the TARDIS and
found the wrong weather. And he definitely shouldn’t’ve let
Ruby go out in clothes more suitable for summer than a cold
February.

Those would’ve been genuine, serious complaints about the
episode. But instead you ignore them silly, irrelevant details. You
really need to learn to look beyond your own personal obsessions!
