Sonic Screwdriver has a weakness against wood a couple more things but wood that really makes sense it once was a tree and trees are a living thing but interestingly so is the outside of the Tardis a form of plant? The weakness also reminds me of Alan Scott Green Lantern his ring was weakened by wooden yellow things and his ring was magical in origin so is the science of Gallifrey base in both science and magic a interesting question after all the Doctor once used Merlin as a name and technology the Gallifrey people use could be confused with many forms of magic Weakness of the Sonic Screwdriver are few but the idea of this device was originally designed to operate locks and as tricorder the main important thing was it actually became more important in the years to follow until Peter Davidson took over and it was destroyed oddly the only thing that made Doctor Who a lot more interesting was that Screwdriver and it returned later on I hope it has a few plots stories involving this amazing device in the future and probably gain a voice like Google Assist or Bluetooth?
