The Rings of Akhaten was the seventh regular episode of the seventh series of Doctor Who produced by BBC Wales. In it, the Eleventh Doctor's new companion, Clara Oswald, took her first trip in the TARDIS to an alien planet.

Synopsis

Clara Oswald wants to see something awesome, so the Doctor whisks her off to the inhabited rings of the planet Akhaten, where the Festival of Offerings is in full swing. Clara meets the young Queen of Years as the pilgrims and natives ready for the ceremony. But something is stirring in the pyramid, and a sacrifice will be demanded.

  • The crack on the glass case containing the mummy disappears and reappears between shots.
  • The leaf that Clara has in this episode is different to the one shown in the previous episode. In fact, they come from different trees; the one from Bells is from a maple and this one's from a birch.
  • When Clara tells The Doctor she wants to see "Something awesome", just before she turns around she shows her teeth in a grin. Upon turning around, her grin has reduced to a smile with no teeth in no time to do so.
