The Broken Horseshoe

'Dr' Fenton is addressed as Mister not Doctor. In the U.K. surgeons proudly retain a link with history (that goes back hundreds of years) using Mr, Mrs, Miss, Ms instead of Doctor. In the past Barber Surgeons performed surgical procedures but were not university trained doctors who were awarded a degree 'Doctorate'. As the role became more professional the Surgeons formed their own Guild with prospective members completing seven year apprenticeships and receiving a diploma if successful. However as this was not equivalent to a medical degree, they remained as 'Mister's. The Guild of Surgeons became the Royal College of Surgeons in 1800 and from the mid 19 Century all surgeons had to have an initial medical degree with additional training to be surgeons but have retained the use of civilian titles to set them apart from 'run of the mill' doctors.

It's clearly established that Jackie Leroy lives on the top floor of her shared house, in Flat 8. Fenton, however, doesn't press an entry buzzer at either end of the eight-buttoned door panel (so actually buzzes Flat 4 or 5) yet stills gains entry to Jackie's flat.
