The Ninth Doctor's redesigned sonic screwdriver from the 2005 series.

The sonic screwdriver is a fictional tool in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who. Its most common function is to operate virtually any lock, mechanical or electronic, and thus open doors for escape or exploration. It has also been used for repairing equipment, as an offensive weapon, and occasionally even to drive screws. Like the TARDIS, it has become one of the icons of the programme, and is closely associated with the Doctor. The redesigned sonic screwdriver from the new series of Doctor Who. ...

History

The original series

The Fourth Doctor and his sonic screwdriver.

The sonic screwdriver made its first appearance in the serial Fury from the Deep, written by Victor Pemberton. It was then used by the Second Doctor as a multi-purpose tool from that point, with occasional variations in appearance over the course of the series. However, ownership of the concept was retained by the BBC, much to the chagrin of Pemberton, who later told an interviewer for Doctor Who Magazine, "I'm very cross that the sonic screwdriver — which I invented — has been marketed with no credit to myself. ... It's one thing not to receive any payment, but another not to receive any credit."^[1] The Fourth Doctor with his sonic screwdriver (from Doctor Who - The Sontaran Experiment) This work is copyrighted. ...

Its abilities varied somewhat from story to story and the way it worked was never explicitly explained. However, the name implies that it operates through the use of sound waves to remotely exert physical forces on objects, such as the mechanisms inside locks (The name also implies that it is used to drive screws, so that may be best taken with a grain of salt. However, it may be so it was originally made for that function, but was capable of doing much more). In The Three Doctors, it functions as a radiation detector. In The Sea Devils the Doctor used it to detonate land mines from a distance, which he did again later in Robot. This particular model had a movable section that bobbed up and down when in use. Also in Robot, the Doctor used the screwdriver as a "miniature sonic lance" to cut out a lock.

The Doctor's Time Lady companion Romana constructed a sonic screwdriver of her own, first seen during the Fourth Doctor serial City of Death. It was smaller and sleeker than the Doctor's, and he was sufficiently impressed with her design that he attempted (unsuccessfully) to swap screwdrivers with her in Horns of Nimon.

The sonic screwdriver was written out of the series in 1982 when it was destroyed by a Terileptil in the Fifth Doctor serial The Visitation in order to prevent the Doctor from escaping captivity. This was done by Eric Saward on the instructions of producer John Nathan-Turner, who felt that the device had become an easy way out for writers, since the Doctor could use it to get out of just about any situation. This was (arguably) foreshadowed in the Tom Baker episode "Invasion of Time", where a captive Doctor gravely informs the audience "Not even the sonic screwdriver can get me out of this one."

Saward had written out the sonic screwdriver believing that the Doctor would simply get a replacement from the TARDIS. However, Nathan-Turner did not want such a scene at the end of this story, or any others (Although a scene of this nature did eventually occour at the end of "Smith and Jones") . The reason given was that the use of a device that could save the day in any way possible was very limiting for the script ^[2]. The series remained sonic screwdriver-free until it ceased production in 1989 (although the Sixth Doctor was occasionally seen using a "sonic lance") and it was not until the 1996 Doctor Who telemovie that the Doctor was seen to have a sonic screwdriver again, with a design that could be telescoped out for use and collapsed again when finished. The Tenth Doctor joked about the Fifth Doctor's lack of sonic screwdriver in the mini-episode Time Crash, by commenting on how he "went hands-free" and could "save the Universe using a kettle and some string".

The new sonic screwdriver

A completely redesigned sonic screwdriver, with a glowing blue light in addition to the sound effect, appeared in the 2005 series revival and the subsequent episodes that have followed. The new sonic screwdriver seems to derive from the same technology as the new TARDIS console, with the extended portion of the prop bearing a resemblance to the central column of the console. In contrast with Nathan-Turner's attitude that the sonic screwdriver should not be used as a cure-all, the new production team gave it even more functions than previous versions. However, the massive new functionality has only been used as a "fix all" device when they are trying to avoid lags in the plot of an episode. Some of the uses in the new TV series include fixing a decades broken Vortex Manipulator in a matter of seconds, deactivating an Auton arm, detecting and sending signals; intercepting teleportation; remotely activating processes inside the TARDIS; burning, cutting, or igniting substances; fusing metal; driving screws; and amplifying sound, usually to stun or incapacitate an enemy. In the episode "World War Three", the Doctor grabs a bottle of port from a side table and threatens to "triplicate the flammability" of the alcohol with the sonic screwdiver, immolating himself and a group of Slitheen that are menacing him, however one of the Slitheen then claims that he is making it up and the Doctor is forced to rethink his strategy. For the Supreme Court of Canada case, see Auton (Guardian ad litem of) v. ... World War Three is an episode in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who that was first broadcast on April 23, 2005. ... The Slitheen are a fictional family of massive, bipedal extraterrestrials from the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and adversaries of the Doctor. ...

The sonic screwriver was used as a joke on occasion: Jack Harkness criticised the concept in "The Doctor Dances" by asking "Who looks at a screwdriver and thinks 'hmm, that could be a bit more sonic'?", and Martha Jones asked if the Doctor also had a "Laser Spanner" in "Smith and Jones". According to a line in "The Doctor Dances", the Doctor actually created his sonic screwdriver because he was "bored", "Having a long night" and "Had a load of cabinets to put up".

In "Doomsday", The Doctor states that the sonic screwdriver does not kill, wound or maim. However in several episodes, including "The Christmas Invasion" and The Infinite Quest, the Tenth Doctor brandishes or uses it in a threatening manner, occasionally going so far as to use it to damage or destroy an enemy (as in "The Runaway Bride" and "The Lazarus Experiment"). In several episodes, it has been shown unable to open objects locked with a "deadlock seal" (this is often used as a recurring plot device when the writers want the Doctor to be trapped somewhere). In "The Long Game", "The Parting of the Ways" and "Utopia" it is operating and affecting various TARDIS controls from outside the vehicle. During "Smith and Jones", the sonic screwdriver eventually burns out after the Doctor used it to amplify the radiation output of a hospital X-ray machine. The Doctor, though intially saddened at the loss of the screwdriver, obtains a new one from the TARDIS at the conclusion of the episode.

Toy sonic screwdrivers produced by Character Options.

In its first incarnation, the prop used in the new series (2005) was notoriously fragile and was prone to breaking at the slightest strain. The toy version (made by Character Options Ltd.) was slightly larger to accommodate a working pen (with swappable ordinary and ultraviolet ink nibs), sound effects and batteries. It also includes an ultraviolet torch for viewing messages written in the ultraviolet ink. The Doctor Who production team at BBC Wales were so impressed by how much more resilient the toy sonic screwdriver was than the real prop, that they asked for and obtained moulds of the toy to use in the 2006 series.^[3] The new prop is 7 inches long, like the toy, as opposed to the 5.75 inch version of the 2005 series.
