Doctor Who - Third Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver with Sound FX

Product Information

While trapped on Apalapucia for thirty-six years, Amy Pond cobbled together a sonic device from various pieces of technology, but insisted upon calling it a sonic probe. She later conceded that it was a "sonic screwdriver". ( TV: The Girl Who Waited) Touching with the Fourth Doctor's sonic screwdriver to release enough temporal energy to force the door to the TARDIS to open. ( AUDIO: The Light at the End) Ahead of the 50th anniversary special, a mini-episode entitled " The Night of the Doctor" (2013) was produced in which the Eighth Doctor uses the sonic screwdriver twice. The Doctor uses his telescopic screwdriver previously seen in the TV movie, rather than his updated steampunk version which had been used in numerous Big Finish audio dramas. The Sonic Screwdriver has four operational modes. The user can cycle through each mode with a short press on the button:

The Seventh Doctor acquired a sonic screwdriver at an unspecified point of his life. Many contradictory accounts existed, including one which claimed he had acquired it at some point before meeting Bernice Summerfield, ( AUDIO: Love and War) and another, which claimed he acquired it from himself on a parallel Earth where the species Homo Reptilicus had conquered the Earth and killed his third incarnation. ( PROSE: Blood Heat, First Frontier) The Doctor himself claimed that he had only recently built one shortly before re-encountering Mortimus, ( PROSE: No Future) and that he received it as compensation after suing the Terileptils for criminal damage. ( PROSE: GodEngine) The Eighth Doctor claimed that this screwdriver was a spare model that had "rolled under the TARDIS console and remained there" until the Seventh Doctor found it. ( PROSE: Frontier Worlds) The sonic screwdriver was also connected to the Doctor's TARDIS, allowing him to activate the controls from the outside. ( TV: The Parting of the Ways, etc.) This included sending it to a predetermined point in space-time, ( TV: The Parting of the Ways) fusing the navigational coordinates, ( TV: The Sound of Drums) and changing course mid-flight. ( TV: The Eleventh Hour)

With the screwdriver, the Doctor was also capable of creating a spark of fire, ( TV: Carnival of Monsters) melting plastic vines ( TV: The Android Invasion) and creating loud noises. ( TV: Four to Doomsday) The sonic screwdriver would, in rare occasions, be used as an offensive weapon, firing energy blasts. The Eleventh Doctor used it in this manner to help River Song defeat a group of Silents, defeating at least two of them. ( TV: Day of the Moon) The Twelfth Doctor used the same model of screwdriver to blast a Hyperion, buying himself and others time to escape from it. ( COMIC: The Hyperion Empire) It could also destroy ice creatures when it received the latest update. ( TV: The Snowmen)

Creating a force field wave with two (or possibly more) other sonics to physically repel a Dalek (it may have to be the same sonic device at different points in its own time stream) The Third Doctor's era introduced adversaries including the Autons, the Master, Omega, the Sontarans, the Silurians and the Sea Devils. The Daleks returned after a five-year absence about halfway through Pertwee's run. The Third Doctor was the only one from the classic series not to have a story featuring the Cybermen (although they were seen briefly in The Mind of Evil [8] and Carnival of Monsters), [9] but he did eventually encounter them during The Five Doctors.

The Tenth Doctor had this screwdriver on his person during his regeneration, but it was damaged repeatedly afterwards, leading to many malfunctions. Despite the damage, the Eleventh Doctor used it to overload technology in an attempt to alert the Atraxi to Prisoner Zero's location. This fried it into useless, charred metal, much to his growing annoyance and anger. ( TV: The Eleventh Hour) It was later recovered by Charlie Sato, and was intended to be taken to the Vault before being intercepted by the Eighth Doctor, who chose to bring it to the TARDIS due to a code that it was still calculating, ( AUDIO: The Turn of the Screw) likely the disintegration subroutine started by the War Doctor. ( TV: The Day of the Doctor) The Third Doctor stories were the first to be broadcast in colour. The early ones were set on Earth because he had been exiled there when the Second Doctor was banished to Earth by his people, the Time Lords, and forced to regenerate. On Earth, he worked with the Brigadier and the rest of the UNIT team. However, as his tenure progressed he had reasons to leave Earth, on occasion being sent on missions by the Time Lords. Eventually, after his defeat of the renegade Omega in The Three Doctors, he was granted complete freedom by the Time Lords in gratitude for saving Gallifrey. Chang Lee discovers the sonic screwdriver among the things he stole from the Seventh Doctor. ( TV: Doctor Who)
