Kinda resembles a trowel

It does somewhat resemble a gardening implement... but it's still better than those damned sunglasses.

The thing River is holding looks like a trowel, the Doctors looks like it always has more or less.

Why are they fighting BayMax? He's just here to help!

Close up, it's like a marriage of the 10th and 11th

That went right over my head - at first glance I thought he was holding it

I don't think you're alone, a lot of the facebook commentators did the same.

River looks to be holding my Enterprise pizza cutter:

I'm glad he's getting his screwdriver back. I figured the sunglasses were only temporary as there is money to be made by selling replicas and toys of the various screwdrivers. Looks like this is another one I'll be adding to my collection. And I agree; it does look a bit like a cross between Tennant's and Smith's. Not quite as small as Tennant's was, but doesn't look quite as bulky as Matt Smith's version. Definitely looks like it could be the base for the version that River Song leaves with Ten in "Forest of the Dead." I was really thinking, though, that Capaldi's screwdriver might be a bit more sleek and slender and with some squared off edges to prevent it from rolling away (as it did in "Deep Breath").

Glad to see it back, kinda liked the glasses, thought they would last about a season and they did.
I know the show runner gets a lot of grief, but I think this year is one of the best ever!

Here's River's sonic from Silence in the Library. Perhaps the one he's holding in that picture is the one River ends up with before her death in the Library.
