His little helper as you put it, failed to open Card. Borusa's
(sp??) secret door in "Invasion of Time." (Leela's last show). The door
had a voice print lock, and we all know that "There's nothing more useless
than a voice print lock." :-)

Didn't Nyssa (sp?) have to come up with the actual electronic key? Also wasn't there a show set in the middle ages (plague days) when the Doctor tried to open a purely *mechanical* lock with the ol' sonic screwdriver?

The reason for this is the lock in the security area was much too complex to be taken care of in a few moments with something such as the sonic screwdriver. The Doctor did explain to Nyssa that he couldn't have opened the lock that fast because of it's complexity. -- ------------------------------------------------------------------------------ "Not allowed?
