DOCTOR WHO Reveals Fifteenth Doctor's Sonic Screwdriver And It's Causing Quite A Bit Of Debate Among Fans

Following Ncuti Gatwa's debut as the Fifteenth Doctor in "The Giggle" this past weekend, Doctor Who has now revealed the very different-looking Sonic Screwdriver this Time Lord will be making use of.

On Saturday evening, Doctor Who introduced Ncuti Gatwa's Fifteenth Doctor following a controversial bi-generation that means the Whoniverse now has not one, but two Doctors.

While David Tennant's Fourteenth iteration will remain on Earth - many fans believe he ultimately becomes The Curator - Gatwa's is set to embark on a whole new set of adventures alongside Millie Gibson's Ruby Sunday. Unsurprisingly, The Doctor will be travelling through time with a new Sonic Screwdriver in hand as well. 

That's been revealed today and, even though the design is very cool, not everyone is on board with such a drastic overhaul. 

It's been compared to a TV remote and even a Croc shoe, though we'd argue that it's a little harsh. When Doctor Who returns with a new "season 1" next year, it will be for a fresh start akin to the one Russell T Davies was responsible for when he brought the series back in 2005. 

In a newly released video from BBC, Gatwa walks fans through what they can expect from the all-new Sonic Screwdriver, revealing that it has a crystal power source, a USB-like prong which allows it to interact with various pieces of technology and a very special Rwandan proverb written on the back in Gallifreyan.

That reads, "The sharpness of the tongue defeats the sharpness of the warrior." Could that offer some insights into how this version of the Doctor will be portrayed? We'll obviously have to wait and see. 

On Christmas Day, Gatwa will take centre stage in "The Church on Ruby Road."

"Little is known about Ruby Sunday as she was abandoned on Christmas Eve as a baby," reads a brief synopsis for the episode.' "Now living with her mum, Carla and grandmother, Cherry her world is about to be turned upside when she encounters the Doctor and the two set off on their first adventure together..."

Check out this first look at Doctor Who's Sonic Screwdriver below.
