About this deal

In the Doctor Who TV Movie (1996) and " The Night of the Doctor" (2013), the Seventh (TVM), Eighth (both), & the War Doctor ("The Night of the Doctor") were seen to have a new sonic screwdriver with a telescopic mechanism: similar to its predecessors but with subtle differences such as a gold/brass band on the handle, a flat base and a red emitter tip. In a comic The Catherine Tate Show sketch, Catherine Tate's teenage character Lauren Cooper accuses her English teacher (played by David Tennant) of being "the Doctor". After much provocation, the teacher uses the sonic screwdriver to transform Lauren into a Rose Tyler action figure. Identified by the Daleks as a " sonic probe", ( TV: Doomsday) the sonic screwdriver was considered to be very advanced Gallifreyan technology, ( PROSE: Heart of TARDIS) although somebody could make one by using resources found on 21st century Earth with help from Stenza technology. ( TV: The Woman Who Fell to Earth) During the Dalek-Movellan War, Davros dismissed the sonic screwdriver as a "simple" tool. ( AUDIO: The Triumph of Davros) In the Red Nose Day special, The Curse of Fatal Death, the final regeneration of the Doctor, played by Joanna Lumley, enthusiastically remarks that the sonic screwdriver "has three settings" when it starts vibrating. River is the only companion in the revived series to have more than one episode with her name in the title: The Wedding of River Song and The Husbands of River Song.

Sarah Dollard revealed in a scene from Thin Ice originally had the Doctor tell Bill that he had to move a piano under the bridge the last time he was at the Frost Fair as a romantic gesture for his wife, but the scene was cut. She posted the excerpt from the script to her official Tumblr account. [3] The Doctor decided to take River to Darillium, knowing there would be their final meeting. Along the way they encountered his younger self who was currently taking River on her first night out from imprisonment. ( HOMEVID: Last Night) The Doctor ultimately changed his mind and came up with an excuse not to go to Darillium, as he had many times before.

Item details

Arriving on the “planet of the rain gods”, the Doctor and River were set to be sacrificed by the natives until the Doctor successfully petitioned to the rain gods themselves for rain. ( HOMEVID: Rain Gods) The Doctor, throughout many of their lives, possessed a sonic screwdriver. They originally used a basic model in their first ( PROSE: Venusian Lullaby) and second incarnations, ( TV: Fury from the Deep) before upgrading in their third. ( TV: The Sea Devils) However, according to one account, the First Doctor was unfamiliar with the sonic screwdriver when he met the Twelfth Doctor. ( TV: Twice Upon a Time) Similarly the accounts depicting the Doctor's life as the Timeless Child prior to their first incarnation showed at least one of them as being unfamiliar with the sonic screwdriver and dismissive of it. ( TV: Fugitive of the Judoon) The Doctor continued to use the model introduced during his third incarnation until it was destroyed in their fifth by a Terileptil leader. ( TV: The Visitation) It wasn't until they were in their seventh incarnation before they began to use a screwdriver again, taking on various different models throughout the years. ( TV: Doctor Who, Rose, The Eleventh Hour, Hell Bent, The Woman Who Fell to Earth) River received five master's degrees from the Sorbonne, each in an alternate timeline. ( AUDIO: The Sonomancer) The Seventh Doctor uses the device in The Harvest and Dreamtime. His companions Ace and Hex use the device in the Doctorless audio drama, The Veiled Leopard.

When she was charged with the murder of the Duke of Ferrox, River called upon Roger Hodgkiss, an English barrister from 20th century, to defend her. Together, they proved the real murderer was his esquire Strax, who did not agree with his master's choice to turn a new leaf. It was implied that River actually plotted the murder together with Ferrox's wife, who then went on to succeed her husband and lead the Ferrox towards a future of peace. ( AUDIO: Barrister to the Stars) In an edition of Summer Falls which had an about the author section about Amelia Williams, it was mentioned that she and Rory had two children, Anthony and a grown up daughter, Melody, who worked as an archaeologist. ( PROSE: About the Authors) Following an advice from the Doctor, River went on holiday on Bondar, where she ended up being entangled in a mysterious murder spree. She found out that the cause was a colony ship, and all the colonists were clones created by it when it crashed on the planet: the ship program kept recreating them and substituting the originals with new "specimens". With the help of mayor Gudrun, River destroyed the ship, releasing the colonists from their condition. ( AUDIO: Colony of Strangers) 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. On one of her birthday outings with the Doctor, River somehow cloned herself in an incident the Doctor fought hard to forget. ( PROSE: The Day of the Doctor)The Doctor and the Ponds had to decide where to go for their bank holiday and their ideas were conflicting. River Song decided to leave them, making her own vacation plans as the Doctor and her parents went to Florana. ( COMIC: Summer Wholiday) The Time Lords knew of River by the era of the Last Great Time War, though the Celestial Intervention Agency restricted any information on her species. ( PROSE: Dalek Combat Training Manual) Following the conflict, a Time Lord author learnt of River and her unique conception while doing research for his book. The author briefly considered that River might have been the Hybrid of Gallifreyan legend but ultimately dismissed the idea as her story didn't fit the prophecy. ( PROSE: A Brief History of Time Lords) It featured regularly in season 16 during the Key to Time saga. The Doctor's Time Lady companion Romana constructed a sonic screwdriver of her own similar to the Doctor's. It is depicted as being smaller and sleeker than the Doctor's, and he was sufficiently impressed with her design that he attempted to swap screwdrivers with her in The Horns of Nimon (1979–80). By season 18, both script editor Christopher H Bidmead and producer John Nathan-Turner were eager to downplay the device as much as possible.
