Doctor Who The Rings of Akhaten Trailer
Doctor Who The Rings of Akhaten Trailer
Saturday 6th April 6:15pm – 7pm BBC One
Having found himself a new companion in the shape of Clara Oswald, the Doctor asks where she wants to go first – and her request for somewhere awesome takes the pair to the rings of the planet Akhaten, inhabited by all manner of amazing creatures.
Clara meets the young queen, who is about to take part in a ceremony called the Festival of Offerings – but what begins as a happy sing-song soon turns very grim. Matt Smith and Jenna-Louise Coleman star.

Disappointed
April 6th, 2013 - 7:45pmThis episode was a disappointment.

April 6th, 2013 - 6:52pmOk, now I sound like a tit regards comment about Sydney Newman. I assumed the leaf was a maple leaf, hence the day one Canadian connection. I was wrong.

TheDoctorGallifrey
April 5th, 2013 - 12:49pmI just noticed that the leaf on the Rings of Akhaten poster was not the one from the 101 places to see book, as it doesn’t have three points. If you look at the new gallery for the ROA, it looks like she is threatening something with it, as it is from a different world.

April 4th, 2013 - 7:39pmHello folks, came across this site by pure accident. Liking what I am seeing so far. Yes, I am a newbie. I was born aprox 9 days before Jon Pertwee’s first appearance in Spearhead From Space. That makes me 43, I guess, lol.

Scott the Raptor

Time to find out who you are?
March 31st, 2013 - 7:56amI hate human-aliens examples are The Spoonheads and The Dalek Humans (they creep me out!) I prefer alien-alien and thats what we gonna get in this episode THANK GOD LOOKS AWESOME!
Anonymous
March 31st, 2013 - 9:45amThe reason they use aliens that look human is because it is cheaper
Anonymous
March 31st, 2013 - 3:26pmAnd creepier, but the idea of them two examples is that they aren’t recognised, so that’s why they look like humans.
Dr who
March 31st, 2013 - 7:23amParts of this remind me of the beast below,like them hood guys look like winders
The TARDIS
March 31st, 2013 - 9:24amI agree, the whole thing looks very like the Beast Below, looks to have a fairy tale feel and it’s Clara’s first adventure as well, just like Amy’s.
McGann is the Doctor.
March 31st, 2013 - 11:12pmYes, I did think it was going to look like the beast below, but that doesn’t mean it will be as bad as it was.

April 2nd, 2013 - 1:52pmI loved The Beast Below…

March 30th, 2013 - 11:09pmI still think “The Mummy” thing looks like a crazed Sycorax but that’s just me 🙂

Matt smithy
March 31st, 2013 - 7:04amwaaaaaaaaaaaaaa? um, how? I actually would like to know how you got this, and how thy would use it O_O i’m pretty sure if Doctor who was real life, there wouldn’t be an admin of a doctor who site 😀
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 31st, 2013 - 8:17amMaybe there will be a Teddy Bear called Boo Boo featured in the next episode that Clara may have had as a child, since Boo Boo is really a Teddy Bear name.
Dr who
March 31st, 2013 - 9:34amThat is so cool,booboo you are famous
McGann is the Doctor.
March 31st, 2013 - 11:13pmAwesome, booboo is the first of us to have an effect on the show ❗
How fitting.
booboo
March 31st, 2013 - 11:24pmApparently the Doctor says boo boo
Dalek The Supreme
April 1st, 2013 - 2:35am*Applauds* Congrats, Booboo! You have the ultimate honor!

noel
March 31st, 2013 - 6:17pmthat and the ‘it all ends here’ promo pictures put together give me the willies.
Anonymous

geronimo2605
April 3rd, 2013 - 12:54amIt looks like regeneration energy but it won’t be or he will redirect it like he did in ‘The Stolen Earth/Journey’ s End’ ’cause he is in the other episodes.
The Master
April 6th, 2013 - 11:10pmOh well, it wasn’t regeneration energy at all.
TheDoctorGallifrey
March 30th, 2013 - 9:23pmUnfortunately, I won’t be able to see this when it is broadcast, as I’m going to SCOTLAND!! I’m also going to STONEHENGE, and any Who fan could guess what I’ll be shouting on top of a rock there!
Scott the Raptor
March 30th, 2013 - 11:34pmScotland is great. No need for capital letters.
The TARDIS
March 31st, 2013 - 9:26amI won’t be able to see it either, going on a Scout camp. Luckily, I should be able to record it or get it on iplayer, so all is well.
im not here
March 31st, 2013 - 12:22pmi wont be able to see it either coz im going to france
TheDoctorGallifrey
March 31st, 2013 - 2:42pmSorry about the capitals. I’m in Birmingham right now, and saw the Bullring ( that’s what I think it’s called), It was a VERY long car journey!
DoctorBob
April 2nd, 2013 - 9:36amI won’t be able to see it as I will be in sweeden until the thursday after and then i am going to birmingham on the friday and will get back at about 6 on saturday so will have to watch both when i get back on my tivo box or on Iplayer
TheDoctorGallifrey
April 4th, 2013 - 7:45pmWhen I went to Edinburgh in Scotland a few days ago, I saw loads of police boxes! They were a bit wider than your average TARDIS, but they were still awesome!
Don’t diss the sonic!!!
March 30th, 2013 - 9:08pmLooks awesome
TheDoctorGallifrey
March 30th, 2013 - 8:30pmLooks quite good!
Matt smithy
March 30th, 2013 - 8:13pmbooboo who wrote this episode? just curious as from these trailers his writing style seems very… hmmm… “diffrent” from the tone of the series so far. if its moffat then I will b suprised! It just looks a bit TOO alieny and si-fiey :/
booboo

drjakeyoung
March 30th, 2013 - 7:35pmbooboo, can you please post up the new updated theme and titles please (if you didn’t realize, just go onto bbc iplayer and skip into the titles and Liston)
drjakeyoung
March 30th, 2013 - 7:36pmi am asking this because it is now officially my favorite theme and titles!
drjakeyoung
March 30th, 2013 - 7:39pmalso a new closing theme has been made!
McGann is the Doctor.
March 31st, 2013 - 11:15pmThey look beautiful and creepy aswell, love it.
The way the Doctor’s face is so inconspicuous with the comic environment is amazing.
It makes the previous three titles look like, I dunno, the back of a cereal box or something.
Skyfall
March 30th, 2013 - 7:28pmThe look like the creatures from Underworld
The TARDIS
March 30th, 2013 - 9:05pmI’ve been thinking that since I saw the first trailer, very Minyan ish.
Anonymous
March 30th, 2013 - 7:18pmdoes that look like a driconian( well a mummifide one)
DOCTOR WHO ONE
March 30th, 2013 - 7:23pmYour not the only one who’s had that thought, Ive had that thought running in my head too.
I doubt it is a Draconian thou, cos if it where a Draconian then we’d have been told they where returning ages back.

March 30th, 2013 - 7:33pmTrue very true and thet have spotty green skin
joe
March 30th, 2013 - 10:43pmit is called ‘the mummy’ i read somewhere. so maybe it is!
doctorwholew
March 30th, 2013 - 7:16pmIf anyone noticed at the end of the episode she talks about the leaf and in the next episode ,the poster shows her with.
TheDoctorGallifrey
March 30th, 2013 - 8:32pmYes, I think it is a very important clue to the mystery of clara oswald

March 30th, 2013 - 8:35pmIn the above comment, where it looks like it says due, it actually says c-l-u-e
AfroManiac
March 30th, 2013 - 7:15pmlooks kind of bad. i want something dark, scary and exiting. not the childish crap i have seen in the past! no offense to those who like that kind of thing.
Anonymous
March 31st, 2013 - 9:49amI agree with you but the problem is that dr who is a family show thats how it makes it money if it became dark all of a sudden then children would not watch it, parents would coplane and stop there children watching it and the bbc would lose half its viewers. But other then that i would like dr who to be dark and gothic too
McGann is the Doctor.
March 31st, 2013 - 11:17pmThey can’t all be alike, this story will be dark scary and exciting, and for once we will actually get to have a story ON AN ALIEN PLANET, WITH ALIENS.
Long overdue, given the show’s history.
