The Eleventh Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver
Sonic Screwdriver is a universal tool [1] used by the main character in the TV series "Doctor Who".
Its main function is to influence various mechanisms (from the simplest to cybernetic) by means of sound waves.
In its very first appearances in the series, it had a fairly modest set of functions, but somewhat exceeding the capabilities of a conventional screwdriver.
Over time, the screwdriver was improved and received many new features.
The main function used throughout the series is the opening and closing of doors and other similar mechanisms.
Like the TARDIS, it has become one of the symbols of the TV series and is closely associated with the Doctor.

History[edit / edit wiki text]
Classic series[edit / edit wiki text]
The sonic screwdriver first appeared in the episode "Rage from the Depths", where the Doctor used it as a multifunctional tool, with rare appearances during the series.
The abilities of the screwdriver did not change much from series to series, and exactly how it works was never explained.
Be that as it may, the name itself implies that the screwdriver functions by using sound waves, remotely affecting the physical properties of objects, for example, mechanisms in locks.
The Third Doctor's companion, Liz Shaw, also used a sonic screwdriver in "Hell".
In the episode "Sea Devils", the Doctor used a screwdriver to defuse mines from a distance.
This particular model had a movable section that moved up and down when used.
The sonic screwdriver disappeared from the series in 1982, when it was destroyed by the terileptiles in "Kara", although the Sixth Doctor used something very similar in the series "Attack of the Cybermen".
The screwdriver was not mentioned until the very end of the series, although it later appeared in the film about the Eighth Doctor, where the Seventh used it to close the casket with the Master's spirit.
Revived TV series[edit / edit wiki text]
A brand new sonic screwdriver, with a blue flashlight on the end and the addition of a traditional sound effect, appeared in the renewed 2005 series.
Probably, the new screwdriver is made using the same technology as the new TARDIS console.
In addition to opening locks (both mechanical and electronic) and restoring objects, the new screwdriver has the following new functions:
Detection and blocking of telepathic signals of Consciousness Nestin ("Rose") As a computer tool ("The End of the World", "Noisy City") Interception of teleporting signals ("The End of the World", "Noisy City") Receiving cash from an ATM ("The End of the World", "The Long Game", "The Runaway Bride") Charging the battery ("Father's Day") As a medical scanner ("Empty Child", "New Earth") Causing resonance in concrete, restoring barbed wire ("The Doctor Dances") Destroying mechanical devices ("The Long Game", "The Evil Wolf") Remote activation of the "emergency program" in the TARDIS ("Paths diverge") Lighting candles ("The Girl in the fireplace", "The Pandorica opens") Deactivation of electronics ("The Age of Steel") Cutting ropes ("Age of Steel") and cutting steel cable ("Accomplices") Partial reconstruction of the people absorbed by Abzorbaloff ("Love and Monsters")
Interrupting the strength of the ionic structure ("Be afraid of it") Interrupting a signal controlled by a cyberman transmitted via bluetooth via headphones ("Army of Ghosts") Opening the doors with an explosion ("Judgment Day").
In the series "Drum Roll", constructing perception filters for himself, Martha and Jack, the Doctor used a screwdriver as a soldering iron.
In the series "Planet of the Dead", the Doctor darkens his glasses, and they become sunglasses.
The Doctor also appears in darkened glasses in the series "The Girl in the Fireplace" and the special issue "The End of Time".
Pushing objects such as blocks ("Pompeii Lights"), another sonic screwdriver ("Accomplices"), a key ("Let's kill Hitler").
Mobile Phone modification: the ability to make and receive calls from any time and place in the galaxy.
Disclosure and deactivation of camouflage (shimmer) ("End of time").
The destruction of the Weeping Angel (special issue "Worth its weight in Gold").
The "2428 D" setting for restoring barbed wire in the "Doctor Dances" series shows that the screwdriver has at least that many functions.
In one of the episodes of season 4 ("Silence in the library") The Tenth Doctor says that the screwdriver does not work with wood.
In the Christmas Invasion series, the Tenth Doctor uses a screwdriver more as a weapon and still has a penchant for a somewhat threatening style of using a screwdriver.
However, the Doctor claims that " a sonic screwdriver cannot kill, injure or maim."
In the series "Evil Wolf" and "Meeting at School", she is unable to open objects blocked by the "Unbreakable Seal".
In the episode "Smith and Jones", the Doctor's screwdriver burns out.
At first, he looks at it with regret, saying: "I love my screwdriver...", and then simply throws it over his shoulder.
At the end of the series, he shows an identical new screwdriver.
In the episode "The Eleventh Hour", the Eleventh Doctor tries to attract the attention of Atraxi with a sonic screwdriver.
The screwdriver burns out and explodes.
At the end of the series, the TARDIS gives the Doctor a new screwdriver with a golden body and a green flashlight.
In the series "Day of the Moon" and "Time is running out", you can see the green rays emitted by the screwdriver hitting the enemy; thus, the new screwdriver can be used as a weapon.
In the same series, the screwdriver was able to expand the crack in space time.
In the series "The Beast Below", a screwdriver made the sounds made by a star whale audible to people.
In the episode "Cold Blood", the Doctor uses it to deactivate the Silurians ' laser weapons.

In season 6, the Doctor uses a new identical screwdriver.
In the episode "Day of the Moon", the Doctor uses a sonic screwdriver as a weapon against Silence, helping River Song, who uses a blaster.
However, River considered this "help" insignificant, and advised the Doctor to "make something useful".
In the episode "The Dalek Insulator", the Doctor uses a screwdriver to activate the teleport.
A screwdriver can destabilize the programmed matter and transfer it to the liquid phase ("Rebellious flesh" / "Almost people").
According to the "Day of the Doctor" series, at least screwdrivers, starting with the Military Doctor and ending with the Eleventh Doctor, despite hardware changes and repeated destructions, use the same software, so the calculation of the molecular structure of the door to the dungeon of the Tower of London, necessary for its opening, started with the Military Doctor's screwdriver, was continued by the screwdrivers of the following Doctors and finished 400 years later with the Eleventh screwdriver.
In the series "Let's Kill Hitler" and "Death in Heaven", it is explained that the sonic screwdriver has a psychic interface: it is enough to "direct and think".
In the episode "The Wizard's Apprentice", the Doctor changes the sonic screwdriver for sonic glasses.
In the series "With diabolical Persistence", the Doctor has a new sonic screwdriver.
Other sound screwdrivers[edit / edit wiki text]
The Doctor's companion, the Time Lady of the Novel, designed her own sonic screwdriver, first shown in "The City of Death" (1979).
It was smaller and more elegant than the Doctor's, and he was so impressed with its design that he even tried (unsuccessfully) to change the screwdrivers — his own and the Novels.
In the TV series "The Adventures of Sarah Jane", Sarah Jane has a sonic lipstick (a screwdriver) that was given to her by a Doctor.
It has a golden body and a red flashlight in the shape of lipstick, when used it sounds like a Doctor's screwdriver.
In the episode" Silence in the Library " (2008), River Song showed him her improved screwdriver.
She had a red mode that the Doctor from the Future created, but the Doctor from the Present did not know.
Outwardly, it is very similar to the screwdriver of the Tenth Doctor, but it has a pistol grip, which makes it more convenient.
In the episode "Fragments" of the TV series "Torchwood", the future employee of the Torchwood Institute Toshiko Sato stole drawings and diagrams of a sound modulator from the archives of the UNIT, which resembled a sonic screwdriver.
The drawings were partially incorrect and erroneous, but Toshiko automatically corrected them during the assembly process, which attracted Torchwood's attention.
When completed, the device resembled an enlarged version of the Doctor's screwdriver, but much more crude and inelegant.
The functions, apparently, were limited, in fact, only one was shown: partially paralyzing sound radiation, accompanied by the sound of a Doctor's screwdriver and a blue glow.
In the episode "Let's Kill Hitler", the Doctor gave his screwdriver to Amy and Rory, and kept the "sonic cane" for himself — a black and silver cane with a screwdriver in the head.
In the "Accomplices" series, adipose grower Mrs. Foster had a sound pen.
Outwardly, it looks like an ordinary fountain pen, but it glows blue from the blunt end.
It is weaker than the Doctor's screwdriver, although with its help the Doctor suspends the birth of adipose.
In the episode "The Girl who Waited", Amy, who remained in the isolation ward of the planet Apalapuchiya, assembled a sonic screwdriver, but preferred to call it a sonic probe, because she considered the name "sonic screwdriver" to be a dude.
In the episode" The Witch's Familiar", the Doctor uses sound glasses: "I'm tired of screwdrivers.
They pull down the pockets of the jacket.
Now I have switched to wearable technologies."
In the episode "With diabolical persistence" at the end of the episode, the TARDIS gives the Doctor a new sonic screwdriver in a blue gold case, at the end of which there is a blue flashlight.
