The new Doctor Who also has a new sonic screwdriver.
Smith trails off, apparently brewing further thoughts about his first episode. But then, with a conspiratorial grin, he asks, 'Have you seen the new sonic screwdriver yet?’ and pulls it from his pocket. It’s a very shiny metal toy with a green light and, when Smith flicks his hand, metal claws that pop out at one end. Smith is evidently as chuffed with it as all the eight-year-old boys who are given replicas of it for Christmas will be. The titanium sparks on the Cathedral Green in Llandaff are now a distant memory.

"Firefly" star Alan Tudyk is joining the cast of a TV remake of "The Rockford Files." Dermot Mulroney takes the title role.
I can't help but think they're missing the point on the Rockford Files remake. The series was built around the actor's easygoing charm and built in character recognizability. The "files" were rarely even referenced. Although it had some marvelous episodes, nobody watched Rockford just as a great detective series so no matter how good this version might be, it seems pointless.
