That was definitely the case with earlier Doctor Who - actors from the show have pointed out that it was at least partly due to budget, but also because in England, there was always a sort of impression that TV should be a literal translation of stage acting, just being filmed for a larger audience. And since stage performance involved learning all of your lines and doing an entire scene in a single take, that's how most early BBC filming was done. It wasn't until later that they started to take to the idea of being able to shoot shows out of order or have multiple takes make up a single scene.

Under the circumstances, it's actually impressive how much work they put into the Heart of Gold sets. By contrast, you can tell that either the budget was stretched thin by the time they get to the Restaurant at the End of the Universe set, or they just flat out stopped caring about set design by that point in production.
