a doctor who fanatics review July 26, 2006

I am using my parents account for this and will probably review other items. This is a great toy that made me feel like I was doctor who (there is nothing else about me that justifies that) It comes with 2 nibs, (a simple biro and a UV pen) and a UV light. Although in a few episodes (eg. doomsday) there is a range of noises, the one noise on here is extremely authentic.
My favorite part has to be the "zoom" factor for the UV light, as you can use the light from a close range by slotting the cube on the side upwards (If you dont know what I mean then it does not matter)
My only criticism is that the UV pen is only suited to writing in the little booklet the screwdriver comes with. It comes up weakly on other surfaces.
Overall a great toy for young kids (like me) and doctor who collectors
 Exactly what I wanted too July 7, 2006

As a long-time Doctor Who fan I just couldn't resist getting one of these, and I honestly don't regret it. It looks good, and the UV light and ink is a neat touch. Some people have complained that the sounds are too quiet, but I think they're just about right. The two sounds are subtly different (but very authentic) and you have to listen closely to tell them apart.
What's amazing is that the BBC reportedly have started using these in the new David Tennant series as they are more durable than the real prop! (the toy is about half an inch longer than the real prop as it has to accommodate sounds and batteries).
Also, contrary to the Amazon product description, it appears that the BBC are now supplying these with batteries as standard, and they have also begun re-supplying them in new packaging featuring David Tennant.
If you're a doctor who fan of any age, I would recommend this to you. Well worth the investment of a tenner.
Sonic Screwdriver - A 9 year olds opinion May 29, 2006

I'm a 9 year old girl and I like doctor who. I have purchased a sonic screwdriver, I have had it for a day and a bit of it has fallen off however it is really fun. It makes two realistic sounds.It comes with a spare nib. I am sure any 8, 9 or 10 girl or boy who likes doctor who would love to own one, adults might like it to.
I used it while I watched Doctor Who and zapped it when the doctor did!
So I totally recommend it just don't drop it because it won't last.

How come it took them 30 years to market this? Anyway, now it's here, and if you can find something that's as much fun for a tenner I'll take three. I assume most of these will go to 34-year-old men (handy; their understanding wives will help put the slightly-fiddly batteries in the slightly-fiddly mechanism) and that's good because one imagines this item, though well-made and very like the telly one, could get knocked about by the smallest children if asked to perform too robustly. That said, I've used it to explode marsh gas, detonate land mines, reverse a teleport device and destroy the office computer. Gents, if you don't get one for Christmas there's a chance they don't love you...
 Want my advice? Don't buy it!. October 13, 2005

Having waited many weeks for this toy to arrive we were very disappainted with it. It is made out of very light weight painted plastic and feel very cheap. The pen bits fall off already and I am sure is will fall apart in no time. To come with no battieries when it is clearly being sold for far more than it is worth is a cheek. My other child has a toy spy pen with very similer bits uv nib,light and pen, it came with battieries and cost half the amount. OK its not Doc Who but thats no excuse to rip us off.
