Exclusive Look: Unveiling the All-New Sonic Screwdriver of the 14th Doctor

Watch the video below to get the first detailed glimpse of the new sonic screwdriver wielded by David Tennant's Fourteenth Doctor in the upcoming special episodes of Doctor Who. Tennant will be reprising his role as the Time Lord, alongside showrunner Russell T Davies and other returning cast members, to celebrate the 60th anniversary of the beloved sci-fi series. Don't miss out on this exciting glimpse into the Doctor's latest incarnation.

The Fourteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver is introduced in the video, providing a comprehensive examination of this new tool. Not only does the video showcase the exterior of the device, but it also offers an unexpected glimpse into its internal workings, unveiling the intricate circuits and energy sources that sustain this life-saving object.

The History of the Doctor's Trusty Sonic Screwdriver

Introduced by Patrick Troughton's Second Doctor in 1968's "Fury from the Deep," the Sonic Screwdriver is a versatile tool capable of unlocking doors, accessing computers, tracking life forms, and more. It has been instrumental in the Doctor's heroic escapades, assisting in countless narrow victories. Although it was removed from the classic series by producer John Nathan-Turner during the era of the Fifth Doctor (Peter Davison), the Sonic Screwdriver made a triumphant return when Doctor Who came back to television screens in 2005, solidifying its place as a beloved mainstay of the show once again.

Throughout the modern era of Doctor Who, the sonic screwdriver has undergone several redesigns between different incarnations and time periods of the show. This has been a result of various factors such as damage, loss, or complete destruction. Consequently, each Doctor has had a unique design for their sonic screwdriver. For example, Matt Smith's Eleventh Doctor had a larger, extendable clawed design, while Jodie Whittaker's Thirteenth Doctor had a curved feature. Although Tennant's Doctor briefly used the Thirteenth Doctor's model after regeneration, it was destroyed in a comic set between "Power of the Doctor" and the upcoming anniversary specials, prompting the introduction of a new device in those episodes.

The surprising video reveal of the Fourteenth Doctor's newest Sonic Screwdriver in Doctor Who has generated even more excitement for the upcoming 60th-anniversary specials. After only catching glimpses of the device in set videos and trailers, the video offers the best view yet, sparking anticipation among cosplayers and prop makers who aim to recreate the Fourteenth Doctor's ensemble. However, with Tennant's new incarnation likely to use the latest model throughout the new season, many are left wondering if this new variant of the iconic tool will also be wielded by Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor in season 14.
