* The sonic screwdriver was [[retire]]d during the [[Fifth Doctor]] serial ''[[The Visitation (TV story)|The Visitation]]'', as it was felt that it had been overused. It was absent for the [[Sixth Doctor|Sixth]] and [[Seventh Doctor]]'s eras, except in [[Doctor Who (TV story)|the TV Movie]], in which the Seventh Doctor used it to lock [[the Master]]'s remains away. The [[Eighth Doctor]] recovered it at the end of the film. After appearing in many Seventh and Eighth Doctor audio adventures from [[Big Finish Productions]], the tool was reintroduced with the [[Ninth Doctor]] and has become the show's most frequently used gadget besides [[the TARDIS]] itself. | * The sonic screwdriver was [[retire]]d during the [[Fifth Doctor]] serial ''[[The Visitation (TV story)|The Visitation]]'', as it was felt that it had been overused.

* During early production of [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|series 1]] (2005), the production crew decided to switch from their original prop to one based on the toy sonic screwdriver because the first prop was prone to falling apart. The production team secured moulds of the toy replica to make a more reliable prop for [[Series 2 (Doctor Who)|the next season]].{{source}} | * During early production of [[Series 1 (Doctor Who)|series 1]] (2005), the production crew decided to switch from their original prop to one based on the toy sonic screwdriver because the first prop was prone to falling apart.
