The Doctor's sonic may have leaked from a toy company. Mock up in the video below
It is the sonic screwdiver that would hurt the less if used for .... screwing if you know what I mean xD
I am thinking the leak may be fake though since it is just a mock-up. I dunno but there is a store page with no image - http://www.zappies.com/product/13th-doctors-sonic-screwdriver
Lady Christina de Souza is getting her own Big Finish series that charts her adventures after she zooms off on her flying bus at the end of Planet of the Dead.
The one they should probably do is the kids from SJA grown up, carrying on her legacy. Make it a YA thing. Fighting aliens while at university, or while penniless working graduate jobs, etc.

Any snippets from the interview in the wild yet?
"My relationship with my three immediate superiors – the showrunner, the producer and co-producer – broke down irreparably during the first block of filming and it never recovered," Eccleston says in the latest issue of Radio Times.
Crumbs."When I left, I gave my word to [then-showrunner] Russell T Davies that I wouldn't do anything to damage the show," he says. "But they did things to damage me. I didn't criticise anybody."
Asked if Davies was aware of the issues, Eccleston says, "If you're the showrunner, you know everything. That's your job," adding that he "never will have" a working relationship with the screenwriter again.
Now you're making me feel bad for insulting their fashion choices.It's a charity thing for World Downs Syndrome Day, for anyone wondering
The music is meh. I do like the visuals, though. Except for the CGI head.
I just accidentally caught a rerun of Last of the Time Lords on TV, and boy, you really can tell RTD was rushed/ill when he wrote that. What a mess that last ten minutes is. Strong emotional core, like, but an absolute pig otherwise. I think the most baffling thing of all is how once the finale begins they teleport the Doctor and the Master to a cliff-edge for no reason other than for the imagery of them standing on a cliff, except it was clearly pissing it down based on the way David's hair looks and how much they've had to wash out the scene in order to make it play... and then there's like six lines of dialogue there and then teleport back?? It's so mad.
I do miss this era of the show, though. It's easy to forget how crap and TV it looked compared to Series 6 onwards (I adore its obsession with small-scale crowd reaction shots to the alien threat), but that's really part of its charm.
Aha, someone else watching Watch HD as well.
They tend to do three episodes every sunday. Its been a nice way to re-watch these episodes without having to stick a DVD in.
Aha, I remember that as well. Love catching old re-runs, always nice to see how far its come and changed.I suspect it is deliberately like late 90s Sundays watching classic Who on UK Gold in the mornings. Kudos to whoever scheduled that.
Surprising casting reveal:
Lee Mack
An odd one? I really like him... but I've never seen him do anything particularly serious. Even if it's a light character, this would still be a more dramatic role than I'm familiar with
Glad to see the Frank Skinner method of begging for a role works xDIt's a cameo, according to Lee Mack himself. He just badgered them for a small role until they gave in. Apparently he has his own TARDIS and his own Dalek.
"I am blink-and-you'll-miss-it. It's just a little thing. I've just been a fan all my life, so I just harassed them until they gave me a little part in it."

Rewatching early Season 10 stuff while sick in bed, and it's really weird how cagey Twelve is about Time Lord stuff with Bill. I can see why people held candles for the "Bill is related to Susan somehow" theory for such a long time.
I mean technically the Doctor's last interactions with them was them inadvertently killing his best friend and sending him to 'hell' , and him stealing a TARDIS and running away. He'd probably rather not talk about them for a whole set of different reasons.
It will be interesting to see what approach Chibnall takes to them. Essentially Moffat reset things to the Classic era where they exist but the Doctor wants nothing to do with them. I get the sense we won't see them for a long time though, the Master included.
