Trivia: This serial was the first to feature the Doctor's favourite gadget, the sonic screwdriver. The sonic screwdriver has popped up in Doctor Who stories many times since, all the way into the new series. Sadly, it cannot be seen in "Fury from the Deep" as every episode of that story was destroyed by the BBC in 1977.

Question: If the Doctor gets a TARDIS, does that mean other Timelords get a TARDIS as well?
