This second Sonic for the Twelfth Doctor, played by Peter Capaldi, was ‘gifted’ to him by the TARDIS itself after his previous version was lost. Due to cost constraints, the handle could not be made in leather. The real prop also has a protruding button soldered on to a square cut out in the grip material, which the actors use to make the tip glow when the script requires it. The Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver URC does not have this exact button but uses a button under and protected by the grip material. Because as it is never shown in the TV show we did not think that it was intended to be part of the overall look of the device and so designed the most robust button for the range of uses that this sonic would be subjected to. It is slightly lighter than the prop. Since this Twelfth Doctor’s Second Sonic Screwdriver appeared at the end of series 9, we have been inundated by fan requests to produce a toy replica as part of our toy range. We are therefore very proud to finally be able to reveal it. The Sonic Screwdriver has historically been one of the most sought after toys for fans and collectors alike and we hope they will be as delighted with it as we are.” The programmed IR codes are preserved even if the batteries are changed or removed. However, while in Programming Mode, ten short presses erases all memory banks and performs a factory reset. Caution: this operation can not be undone. If programming problems occur In a move welcomed by many fans (well this fan at least) The Wand Company have released the 10th Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver as a universal remote control. Last year’s 11th Doctor sonic was an impressive release, giving you not just a programmable IR remote, but also a solid feeling replica of Matt Smith’s sonic screwdriver. This year sees the release of David Tennant’s Sonic, a replica based on 3D scanning the actual sonic used in the TV show.

The main body of David Tennant’s screen-used prop is attached to the Sonic Screwdriver structure by three screws. On the original prop, these are painted to match the main body colour. For the Sonic Screwdriver URC, these screws are not necessary and so have been omitted from the design. Slider This is the first Sonic to have 4 light modes and four sound FX. The model has been designed as a replica from the Series 9 Prop. This is perhaps the most noticeable difference between the hero prop and The Sonic Screwdriver URC. The Sonic Screwdriver URC has to come apart so that the batteries can be changed. To avoid unsightly parting lines and fixing screws showing on the outside of the Sonic Screwdriver, the ideal place for this was in the middle, and the cover ring was used to hide the join. This provides an elegant solution but means that the cover ring has to taper less than this feature on the original prop. The handle isn’t made from leather The [Wand Company’s] Tenth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote Control may not sink ships or triangulate the source of ghoulish ghosts, but it is a fully functioning replica and a must-have for aspiring Time Lords everywhere. To do the tap gestures (top, left, right and bottom), hold the Sonic Screwdriver steady and level and tap the Sonic smartly on the main cage body just in front of the grip part of the handle. For at least half a second before the tap make sure that the Sonic is steady and level, the Sonic is looking for a single tap event either from the top or the bottom or from either side. The tap may be performed using the forefinger of the hand that is holding the Sonic.As rivets were not needed in the Sonic Screwdriver URC design, to keep manufacturing costs down, fake brass rivet features were incorporated into the lower cage moulding.

In Practice, Control or Quiet Control Mode, a triple press where you hold the last press for 3 seconds makes the Sonic go into Programming Mode (note a single short press exits Programming Mode) The first images have been released with confirmation that the eagerly awaited Sonic will be on sale within weeks!Further codes may be programmed onto any other gesture or reprogrammed over the existing code on the same gesture by repeating this process, without having to come out of Programming Mode each time a code has been learned. The directions of the tap gestures are independent of the rotation of the Sonic. Each time the Sonic is rotated it recalibrate its idea of up, so that up is always up in the real world regardless of which way up the Sonic is. This means that “tap-on-the-top” is always a tap on the side of the Sonic facing upwards regardless of the rotation of the Sonic and hence the position of the grip button. As a result, you can rotate the Sonic in your hand to make it easier to do the “tap-on-the-right” or “tap-on-the-left” gestures with the forefinger of the hand holding the Sonic without straining your hand. Normally when you get instructions with some electronic device you immediately ignore them for the dull booklet they are; not so with the Sonic, The Wand Company attention to detail strikes again and they unfold into a large sheet with clearly written instructions on how to use the Sonic on one side and a blueprint style poster on the other… The Sonic Screwdriver has four operational modes. The user can cycle through each mode with a short press on the button:
