The sonic screwdriver is out, sonic sunglasses are in on the new series of Doctor Who, according to the Daily Star.
The paper reports that the Time Lord’s box of tricks has had a makeover in time for its return to BBC1 in September.
The Doctor, who presumably qualifies for a free TV licence fee (over 75? are you kidding?) sports a pair of natty shades in a trailer for the show.
“It’s very 007,” a show source told the paper.
Superpower shades have been around before, not least in a John Carpenter film younger Doctor Who viewers won’t remember, They Live.
Just so long as Doctor Who doesn’t do the whole James Bond and get an invisible car. No one’s going to believe that.
