The Eleventh Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver

The Eleventh Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver

The Doctor’s multipurpose tool is a Gallifreyan device, with numerous settings, easily controlled at the press of his thumb. The Doctor has had many sonic screwdrivers of different designs throughout his life, and this latest one was created from within the TARDIS console itself after the previous one was destroyed during a confrontation with Prisoner Zero in the village of Leadworth. This new sonic is larger, with a luminous green light but continues to be an essential part of the Doctor’s equipment as he explores the universe. This faithful copy of the Doctor’s trusty Sonic Device has spring loaded extending action. Pressing the button on the side of the handle activates the LED and Sound FX which operates in CLOSED mode. Flip open the cap at the end of the Screwdriver to reveal an additional button that activates the light and sound effects when it is in full extension OPEN mode.

    Are you wondering about the red button because it’s not doing anything? It should work the light and sound when the ‘jaws’ are open. If it doesn’t, it’s faulty (very common I’m affraid).

    Is anyone else wondering about the James Bond Gadget Style red Button at the bottom. I think it’s a fantstic prop. I was the 1st person in my area (SUTHERLAND SHIRE) to buy one.

    I am well annoyed because my sonic screwdriver lost it’s sound but I thought it was just the demo batteries playing up but when I changed the batteries it was still the same!!! I waited ages for mine to come as I ordered it off eBay from Midco Toys. I think I’ll just wait for the one that comes out later this year from Wow! Stuff as it’s meant to be a die-cast replica and has interchangeable heads!

    WHO1 , that was way before the episode was filmed. They did eventually managed to get the prop through. And he didn’t use a toy one in “The Eleventh Hour”. Because the toy one only works when completely open or completey shut. Whilst in the episode it kept on going on various levels and still worked. Check it out and see

    did you know that matt smith was going on a plane with a load of stuff and the person working there said that he couldnt bring the blue sonic screwdriver along with him on the plane so i think thats why he needed a new one. the sonic screwdriver that he used in the first episode, was acually a fake prop like the ones you buy down the shop!!!!

    to yabadabadoo……

    unscrew bottem silver slider…..you see two mall holes in the green tube…put a small screw in so the head sticks out but not too much as to stop it sliding in and out….now when you open the screwdriver it stops it from opening fully by about 1 mm…..and the sonic noise cums on automatically….ta da…!!!

    Hey guys I’ve just find out a cool way of using the Sonic Screwdriver without using the red button! Once you’ve extended the screwdriver just ever so slightly pull it an incy bit back down and the screwdriver lights up! Try it it’s much easier! 😀

    Wow! Just got this from the post it’s AMAZING!! At first I was a bit annoyed with the red button thing as it seemed a little bit awkward but there’s a good way to hold it without having to turn it over (although you need to use both hands).
