Jodie Whittaker has unveiled ‘Doctor Who’s new Sonic Screwdriver.
The 36-year-old actress – who plays the lead role in the new series of the BBC sci-fi show – showed off the Doctor’s new gadget whilst making an appearance on BBC America’s ‘Doctor Who’ panel at San Diego Comic-Con.
Speaking about the screwdriver, designer Arwel Wyn Jones said: "It’s a privilege to have been asked to redesign the iconic sonic screwdriver for the Thirteenth Doctor and a new generation of audiences. I can’t wait for people to see how the Doctor acquires it!"
The Sonic Screwdriver has been replicated so fans of the hit show can get their hands on the collectible. It has been created by Seven20 and Character Options in the US and UK respectively. The eight inch collectible features a light crystal and has two buttons, which control the light and sound elements of the screwdriver.
The products can be pre-ordered now and will go on sale in mid August.
Meanwhile, showrunner Chris Chibnall previously revealed that the new series of the BBC sci-fi show will have 10 standalone episodes rather than any two-parters.
Chris said: "It’s 10 standalone episodes, there’s no two-parters or anything like that. What we want is for people to feel like we’ve got the range and variety of Doctor Who this year. So if you’ve never seen it before, you’re gonna fall in love with it, and if you have seen it, you’re gonna get those things that you love about the show across the 10 episodes."
Series 11 of ‘Doctor Who’ will return to screens this autumn.
