[net.tv.drwho] Dr. Who's sonic screwdriver

It was asked some weeks ago in which episode the sonic screwdriver was
destroyed. It was in "The Visitation" which aired in the SF bay area
on KTEH channel 54 last weekend. 
	The sonic screwdriver is destroyed by a "Terraleptile" (sp?)
which is out to kill The Good Doctor. The episode takes place in
17th century england during the time of The Black Plague. The 
Terraleptiles have given the rats a worse disease than the BP,
in an attempt to kill all humans. The Doctor inadvertantly starts a
fire which burns down a good piece of London, frying most of the rats
and putting an end to The Black Plague and the Terraleptiles.

For those history/Dr. Who fans..

	When asked whether to return to London to put out the fire that
	the Doctor started, he (Who) responded by saying that that fire
	should be left to run its own course. He was, of course, referring
	to the Great Fire of London, in which the Plague was alleged to 
	have ended. Note that the fire started in a BAKERY on
	PUDDING LANE (I think). A dead giveaway.
