Yet another cynical thought

As I’m re-watching the Doctor Who 2010 Christmas special1 I suddenly caught myself thinking…  Wait a second, he just broke his sonic screwdriver.  Again.

The last sonic screwdriver was good for two doctors and four seasons.  This last screwdriver lasted only a single season. 2  There was a reference to his screwdriver trying to regenerate itself, but who knows.

The cynic in my wonders if it was all a ploy to sell yet another sonic screwdriver.

  1. It was really good. []
  2. Well, I suppose it lasted 1.09 seasons if you don’t count the Christmas special as part of the 2010 fifth series. []
