Dr Who River Song's Future Sonic Screwdriver Toy

Product Information

When a mysterious new planet appeared in the solar system, causing all sorts of temporal anomalies around it, River was called as a consultant on the Saturnius, a ship especially built to investigate the phenomenon. As they were on course, the ship crashed into the Seventh Doctor's TARDIS: the resulting impact between the two ships and the gravitational pull of the planet caused reality to warp about them, trapping them into a living paradox. To resolve this, River and the Doctor (whom she did not recognise due to the paradox affecting her memory) worked together to detach the TARDIS from the ships; River was the one to actually do it after the Doctor was killed in this alternate reality. She forgot precisely what happened, but retained enough consciousness to avoid impact and grant the ship a safe landing on the new planet - which she recognised as a devastated future Earth. While wandering amongst the desolation, she stumbled into Rachel Burrows, an android and the only survivor. ( AUDIO: The Unknown) Working hard for "some afternoons", River eventually gained a doctorate from Luna University, ( AUDIO: Songs of Love) but Kovarian appeared with agents of the Church and the Silence. They seized her, forced her into a modified version of the astronaut suit and took her to Utah on 22 April 2011, where they submerged her in Lake Silencio to await the Doctor. ( TV: Closing Time) After crash-landing in Sheffield with no TARDIS, a body that was still cooking, and two alien mysteries to solve, the Doctor realised she was missing something – her sonic screwdriver. As there was no TARDIS around to fire out a replacement, she had to take matters into her own hands. the thirteenth doctor forges her own sonic screwdriver using sheffield steel and an alien crystal in the woman who fell to earth Contains no found objects, with the exception of screws and electronic components. All other parts are handmade. The Doctor didn’t replace the sonic for ages – the next time we saw one was when the Seventh Doctor used a similar model to seal a casket containing the Master’s remains.

Aside from being a tool, the sonic screwdriver can be used and considered as a defensive weapon, which is effective for a few types of assault weapons, but not designed to kill or injure living things as the only way it can really hurt or incapacitate an organism is by emitting painful bursts of sound, or, as of " Day of the Moon" (2011) by blasting a green wave of energy to incapacitate a target, though only the Eleventh and Twelfth's sonic has been shown to do the latter. In the Eighth Doctor Adventures novel Alien Bodies, the Time Lord Homunculette has a sonic monkey wrench.River indicated that she stole the TARDIS many times and returned it before the Doctor ever noticed, usually using her own key, or in at least one occasion, the hidden spare TARDIS key, to "borrow" the timeship. ( TV: The Husbands of River Song; AUDIO: Whodunnit?) River still had her battered diary of her life with the Doctor. She tried to use it to find the Doctor's place in his timeline, but realised he was a far younger version who neither knew nor trusted her. ( TV: Silence in the Library) Five years into her imprisonment, River escaped and encountered several Sontarans who shot at and chased her halfway across the galaxy after she asked them if they were on a hen night. She escaped into the TARDIS where the Doctor returned her to Stormcage via her vortex manipulator to prevent her from interacting with her past self and her future self. ( HOMEVID: Last Night)

For the 50th anniversary special, " The Day of the Doctor" (2013), another version was seen in the hands of John Hurt's War Doctor. The design was similar to the one used by Tom Baker's Fourth Doctor. This time the halo and bullet tip had been removed, replaced by a red light as well as a large red dial added to the base. Character Options released a version of this sonic screwdriver on 23 November 2013 at London's ExCel labelling it "The Other Doctor's Sonic". [9] It was established as a plot point in that episode that the sonic screwdrivers employed by various Doctor incarnations all use the same software, something the War Doctor exploited by running a calculation over a course of several centuries with the Tenth and Eleventh Doctors seeing the calculation completed through their models. It is also directly implied after the fact that the sonic screwdriver has actually been a part of every doctor's retinue, despite its disappearance for doctors six & seven; the Tenth Doctor says to the Gallifreyan high command, as all thirteen doctors are about to change history by saving the planet, that the calculations for doing what's about to be done have been "running all my lives." In addition, when combined, the screwdrivers of the War, Tenth, and Eleventh Doctor could create a sonic force field blast to repel and destroy a Dalek. Erasing alien encoding inside people's brains by having them don the glasses for a few minutes ("Before the Flood"). River learned that King Hydroflax had the Halassi Androvar diamond embedded in his head. She purported to have married him as part of a plan to retrieve it. For this reason, she joked that she had actually married the diamond itself. At around the same time, she also claimed to have married her assistant Ramone. When we first met River Song, in Silence in the Library, she immediately let us know she was someone important by revealing that she had a sonic screwdriver that was even more advanced than the one being used by David Tennant’s Doctor. According to her, it was so advanced because the Doctor’s future self had given her his sonic screwdriver. Now, you can own a replica of that iconic piece of Who history, and you won’t believe all the Whovian goodness that will wind up in your possession. Again forced by the Silence, she made a second attempt on the Eleventh Doctor's life, which led to their eventual marriage. Though actually unsuccessful, she was convicted of his murder and spent many years in Stormcage Containment Facility for it — to convince the universe and the Silence that her husband actually was dead. This confinement was made more bearable by escaping frequently to go out on dates with the Doctor. She was eventually pardoned, due to the Doctor deleting any evidence of his existence, and became a Professor of Archaeology.Doctor Who Electronic Sonic Screwdriver Collection – Third Doctor".
