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.

    They 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.

    They 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.

    Awesome, booboo is the first of us to have an effect on the show ❗

    How fitting.

    Yes, 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.

    And creepier, but the idea of them two examples is that they aren’t recognised, so that’s why they look like humans.

    I 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

    The reason they use aliens that look human is because it is cheaper

    I 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.

    I 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.
