With Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary fast approaching, fans are giving into the wildest theories regarding what the November episodes will look like — the newest one seems to center around the potential appearance of the Doctor’s oldest frenemy.Viewers always suspected that Doctor Who’s 60th anniversary would be a tear-jerking nostalgic sci-fi ride, but they probably didn’t realize the full extent of it until the official announcement that Russell T Davies, David Tennant, and Catherine Tate would all be coming back for the special episodes. Tennant, however, will be playing a completely new incarnation of the Doctor — specifically the Fourteenth Doctor — and his upgraded sonic screwdriver has been the subject of all kinds of speculation. The latest issue of Doctor Who Magazine featured an exclusive look at the Doctor’s new screwdriver, and art director for props Michael van Kesteren unveiled a few peculiar details about it (via Screen Rant).While the screwdriver now has the TARDIS’ roundels and the head that goes right into the base, the Doctor’s new and improved tool is not just an amalgamation of the previous incarnations’ screwdrivers — the prop director revealed that the handle was actually inspired by the laser screwdriver that John Simm’s Master used in Season 3. According to van Kesteren, the only reason for this worrisome upgrade was that Doctor Who’s production designer Phil Sims wanted the Doctor’s new screwdriver to look more like a “tool.” Still, this fun fact was enough for the most devoted fans to start a rumor that Simm’s Master might make their grand return in the upcoming anniversary specials.RELATED: Steven Moffat Sends Fans Reeling Over Potential Doctor Who Return
