High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles! The sonic screwdriver is a fictional tool in the British science fiction television series Doctor Who and its spinoffs. Its most common function is to operate virtually any lock, mechanical or electronic. It has also been used for repairing equipment. Like the TARDIS, it has become one of the icons of the programme and is closely associated with the Doctor. The sonic screwdriver made its first appearance in the serial Fury from the Deep, written by Victor Pemberton. It was used thereafter by the Second Doctor as a multi-purpose tool, with occasional variations in appearance over the course of the series. Ownership of the concept was retained by the BBC; Pemberton later told an interviewer for Doctor Who Magazine, "I'm very cross that the sonic screwdriver—which I invented—has been marketed with no credit to myself. ... It's one thing not to receive any payment, but another not to receive any credit."
