Ncuti Gatwa has officially taken the keys of the TARDIS in Doctor Who, and he’ll be getting his own, unique sonic screwdriver, which the BBC have revealed a first look at.
What’s Happening:
- The sonic screwdriver has long been an iconic part of Doctor Who, dating all the way back to 1968.
- Since the show returned in 2005, most new Doctors have seen a new sonic screwdriver design, and the Fifteenth Doctor is no exception.
- The latest Doctor’s screwdriver looks to be quite different from those that have come before, taking on a shape somewhat similar to a TV remote.
- A Rwandan proverb is written in Gallifreyan symbols on the screwdriver, which translates to “the sharpness of the tongue defeats the sharpness of the warrior.”
- Powered by a pink crystal, this screwdriver can connect to other pieces of technology like a USB port.
- Ncuti Gatwa himself shows off his new sonic screwdriver in the video below.
- All three Doctor Who 60th anniversary specials are now streaming on Disney+. Check out Luke’s recap and review of the final special, “The Giggle.”
- Ncuti Gatwa’s first full story, “The Church on Ruby Road,” will premiere on Christmas Day, December 25th.
