Discuss.

In Smith and Jones, the sonic screwdriver is wrecked, and the Doctor is distraught for about three seconds ("I love my sonic screwdriver!") before tossing it away. At the end of the story, he has a new one.

In Smith and Jones, the sonic screwdriver is wrecked, and ...... At the end of the story, he has a new one.

I definitely saw that (ie the second part) coming - and foolishly thought for a moment that the 'new' one may return to the "classic" design.

(Bit of throwaway dialogue to the effect that he acquired a more advanced model some time between the TVM and "Rose", and this one has been gathering dust in the toolbox ever since.)
