Doctor Who The 12th Doctor's Second Sonic Screwdriver

Product Information

For further information on the features and operation of the Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver please see our online version of the full user manual, or you can download a printer friendly PDF version of the manual. Only a short, positive action is required; the tip of the Sonic Screwdriver only needs to move about 5 -10 cm (two to four inches). The authentic flicking action allows the Sonic to be used in exactly the same way the Doctor uses it. Note a silent version of this function is accessed by pressing the button 4 times quickly, while in FX Mode, and holding down the fourth press. The sonic sunglasses are an adjunct to the sonic screwdriver and have arrived because the Doctor likes Ray-Bans!

The Tenth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver is compatible with almost all makes of home audio-visual equipment around the world, such as TVs, DVD players, hi-fis and set-top boxes. The Wand Company’s Tenth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver universal remote control is a beautifully designed and highly detailed working prop replica of the David Tennant’s iconic gadget. Initially, the Sonic was only meant to be a one-time tool, but it popped up a few more times during the Second Doctor's run, including once being used as a welding torch. Double press and hold the button down to access another nine buzzes, beeps and scanning sounds from the universe of Doctor Who, or display the Sonic on its die-cast zinc Gallifreyan disc, perfectly balanced standing upright on its end cap, held in place by its hidden magnetic catch.

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. Hold a normal remote control about 3 cm from the tip of the Sonic while the tip is glowing steadily, and briefly press and release the normal remote control button for the function you want to program on to that gesture. 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.

When displaying the sonic on its stand, make sure that the stand is stable on a firm surface and out of reach of small children. To avoid confusion and potentially chaotic usage, this model has had its psychic control interface disabled. Press the slide mounted button for instant action in FX Mode, and access 10 different sonic buzzes, beeps and scanning sounds from the universe of Doctor Who. The FX mode plays authentic special effect sounds from the BBC archives of Doctor Who and the bright illuminating tip will light the way no matter which corner of the universe you find yourself in.The sonic screwdriver hasn't always been a staple of Doctor Who - several "classic" series Doctors didn't carry the cure-all gadget; however, following Russell T.

Between seasons 15 and 19, the Sonic came to further prevalence with The Doctor expressing more and more fondness for the device.

This provides an elegant solution but means that the cover ring has to taper less than this feature on the original prop. How the device will change remains to be seen, but it certainly doesn't seem to be going anywhere in the near future. In fact, it didn't appear onscreen until Patrick Troughton had taken up the mantle of The Second Doctor. Eleven's new Sonic is bigger than the previous version, with a green light and telescopic metal claws.

To do the rotate gestures (clockwise or anticlockwise), hold the Sonic Screwdriver steady and level between thumb and forefinger and roll the Sonic slowly as if turning a volume knob. Press the grip mounted button for instant action in FX Mode, and access 12 different sonic buzzes, beeps and scanning sounds from the universe of Doctor Who. Push pull gestures are ideal for turning devices on, pause – play, selecting or opening and closing a DVD or Blu-ray disc drawer.Not only only does it look like the prop we all see on the TV show its also the most creative TV remote I’ve used! No, although the Twelfth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote Control (URC) is close to the real thing, it is not a fully accurate screen replica. Tenth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Universal Remote – The Eleventh Doctor one was so cool, how about a Tenth? Painstakingly 3D scanned from the original screen-used prop, kindly loaned to The Wand Company by David Tennant himself (see picture below), this Tenth Doctor’s Sonic Screwdriver is a faithful clone, CNC machined from aluminium, crammed full of technology and is a fully functioning gesture-based universal remote control that looks, feels and works just like the real prop – utilising sound effects from the BBC archives. Do not hit anyone or anything with it and make sure that you keep a tight grip of the handle so as not to let go of it and damage the Sonic or injure someone by accidentally throwing it.
