The ninth season of "Doctor Who" has seen many changes, including the loss of the iconic Sonic Screwdriver. Fans bemoaned the sonic sunglasses, lamenting that they were silly and cursing Moffat for...well, everything. Being the ever-cheeky man that he is, when asked about why he shook things up like that, he basically said "because I can."

We all knew the Screwdriver would return, it was just a matter of when, and that moment came during the season finale, "Hell Bent." After an intense and emotional episode, Whovians were treated to one more little tug at the heart strings, as the Doctor enters the TARDIS and a brand new Screwdriver is waiting in the console for him.

While it was a quick glimpse of the new tool, you can rest assured that we'll be seeing a lot of it in the upcoming Christmas special, along with River's Sonic...trowel. "The Husbands of River Song," airs on Christmas day, so be sure to tune in and let us know what you think!

While you wait, check out this behind the scenes video of Twelfth Doctor, Peter Capaldi, talking about the new Sonic Screwdriver.

'Torchwood' Set to Return This Fall

The final season of "Torchwood" aired in 2011, and fans of the "Doctor Who" spin-off have been awaiting a revival of the series ever since. Well now, you'll get the chance to learn what the gang have been up to for the last four years, as Captain Jack Harkness will be donning his suspenders and saving the world once again in the upcoming series of audio plays from Big Finish.

"Torchwood has been to the moon, and America, and the Himalayas, but now I think it's finally coming home, to the brilliance of Big Finish," show creator Russell T Davies, said of the audio dramas.

Each episode in the six episode series will focus on a different member of the team and the repercussions that a mysterious incident has on them, eventually reuniting the whole team for future stories. The first episode will center around Captain Jack, with John Barrowman returning to the role.

As of now, no other cast members have announced their participation in the audio series; but after years of championing the shows return, it won't be too long before official cast announcements are made.

"The Conspiracy," the first episode in the series, is set for a September 2015 release and is available for pre-order.
