How did that screwdriver get into her hands?!

Warning: Spoilers
I think it's fair to say that we all expect horrible plots and boring characters like Graham and the other guy (Yaz is ok) at this point, so I won't get into how utterly lacking the writers of this show are when it comes to talent or even making a coherent non-preachy script. We're used to that. What really annoyed me during this episode was when the doctor was tied up and she magically got hold of her screwdriver in the most bizarre way. I encourage everybody to go back and see that part again, a little after the 34.30 mark. It felt like I watched a bad episode of Xena the Warrior Princess or Hercules from the 90's the way the screwdriver illogically flew into her hand, just like when they threw weapons to each other back in those old 90's series. I just don't see how it's possible for Chibnall and the rest of the awful team to make a piece of art like Doctor Who _used to be_ and turn it into utter garbage. I must say it makes me truly angry to see how they ruined this show.

I will say this: They should have dumped Graham and Ryan from the "fam" and spend more time on developing Yasmin as a character. She is the only one with a slightly interesting backstory as a troubled teenager, and she was the only element who saved parts of this episode. She's also the only one of the "fam" who can act, it seems.
