The Wand Company, the manufacturers of the new Tenth Doctor Sonic Screwdriver Remote Control, say that David Tennant saved the day when it came to sourcing an original prop upon which to base their item
The Cambridge News report that the local company were informed by the BBC that only two copies of the original screen used prop screwdriver were in existence. One had been mislaid and the other had been presented to David Tennant when he finished filming his scenes in Doctor Who back in 2009. Fortunately David agreed to lend the precious item so that it could be photographed and scanned to allow the company to create the most accurate copy possible.
Richard Blakesley, who co-founded The Wand Company with his business partner Chris Baranrdo said, “It’s entirely down to David Tennant. We’d heard he was a nice guy, but there’s nice and then there’s bending over backwards to help somebody you’ve never heard of.”
The Company were able to thank David for his support by presenting him with the first sonic to be produced.
The item is available from 17th October but can be pre-ordered now from Forbidden Planet who will ship worldwide. Click here to order
