Editing Sonic screwdriver (section)

=== 2023 (60th Anniversary Specials) ===
A redesigned sonic screwdriver, made of steel and brass with a long metal protrusion made its debut at [[San Diego Comic-Con]] on July 19, 2023. The screwdriver appears to be an amalgamation of different elements from the show such as the TARDIS Roundels, the Daleks' guns and the Master's Laser Screwdriver and was used by the [[Fourteenth Doctor]] in the 60th Anniversary Specials.<ref>{{Cite web |title=The Fourteenth Doctor's sonic screwdriver is available now {{!}} Doctor Who |url=https://www.doctorwho.tv/news-and-features/the-fourteenth-doctors-sonic-screwdriver-is-available-now |access-date=2023-08-07 |website=www.doctorwho.tv |language=en}}</ref>

In the first of the specials "[[The Star Beast (Doctor Who episode)|The Star Beast]]", this screwdriver is shown to have upgraded functionality, such as being able to draw out maps and graphs, and also being able to create energy shields to block a corridor.

The screwdriver plays no part in the second special "[[Wild Blue Yonder (Doctor Who)|Wild Blue Yonder]]", as the Doctor leaves it plugged into the TARDIS to help the machine repair; the TARDIS takes off by itself, with the screwdriver, shortly into the story.
