Oh more please! I was enjoying that.

The fact that the very first screwdriver was lost down a drain hole and they just said "Screw it, use the jacket whistle end piece." honestly feels like something the Doctor would do in the show.

I'm sad he didn't mention Matt Smith and forward :(

I heard that the Sonic used in Tennants time was actually the toy because the original prop was unreliable.

[@TheEnderman917]

I watched this video and I was like "Finally! Someone else who's interested in the extremely slow and gradual evolution of TV and movie props for some reason!"

[@Alexthemax-xs7qz]

"we ware on smoke that day naming these things" yep best who video

[@calebdonnell2633]

What about the rest. Is there a continuation?

[@paulashe61]

Video was reused. The sonic was dropped into the foam. It was an ordinary pen torch.

I really enjoyed this. There’s so much I didn’t t know. Thank you so much!

[@ameliawade78]

What a throughly enjoyable and informative video. I consider myself to be decently knowledgeable about both the old and the new show, but I had no idea about the life jacket whistle or the thunderbirds prop. Amazing stuff!

[@ryanmassey1441]

Where were these kinds of demonstrations when I used to go to the center as a kid.

[@LouieHodgson-sg4nu]

I wish he spoke about the grey aztec

[@TimelordTechnologyOfficial]

Awesome video, very informative!👏

[@akshaytrayner1960]

Really in depth

[@swiftbird4846]

Absolutely marvellous. I feel as though I have learnt a great deal.

[@joed2918]

I always wondered why the sonic screwdriver for the 8th included in the 11 doctors set was all silver instead of gold and red

[@kerryjohnston7580]

Really informative and cool video!

[@chronosea]

Great stuff James! 😊

[@Quirderph]

What about the Tennant screwdriver in The Day of the Doctor?

[@davidmckirdy4063]

I like the classic 3rd-5th drs sonic screwdriver I owned several of those type .it looks like a tool but not keen on the new ones
