#23 The Magician’s Apprentice
In Series 9 of Nu-Who, “veteran fans,” who were viewers that had never seen the Classic Who, began emerging. Fan outrage was inevitable after Peter Capaldi’s Doctor abandoned the Sonic Screwdriver in favor of “Sonic Sunglasses” in Series 9.
Although the sunglasses are merely an accessory and not a replacement, many fans expressed their outrage over the situation on social media. And that’s despite the fact that, before the series reboot, the Doctor never owned a Sonic device of any kind.
