'''''The Rings of Akhaten''''' was the seventh episode of | '''''The Rings of Akhaten''''' was the seventh episode of [[Series 7 (Doctor Who)|series 7]] of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. It was written by [[Neil Cross]], directed by [[Farren Blackburn]] and featured [[Matt Smith]] as the [[Eleventh Doctor]] and [[Jenna-Louise Coleman]] as [[Clara Oswald]]. | ||
In it, the Eleventh Doctor's new [[companion]], Clara, took her first trip in [[the TARDIS]] to an [[alien]] [[planet]]. Clara's mother, [[Ellie Oswald]], previously seen in ''[[The Bells of Saint John: A Prequel]]'', was also shown to have passed away [[5 March|eight years]] [[2005|before]] Clara met the Doctor (properly). Though it hasn't been confirmed, it's possible that Ellie was killed during the [[Auton]] attack back in ''[[Rose (TV story)|Rose]]''. | |||
This marks the first time that the [[TARDIS translation circuit]] hasn't worked properly for the Doctor's companion on their first trip to a place where their native language isn't spoken; the Doctor could understand [[Dor'een]] perfectly, but all Clara could hear was aggressive barking. However, Clara could understand Merry's humanoid species and when everyone sang. This could have been one of the TARDIS's signs that it didn't like Clara ([[The Hybrid|for a VERY good reason]]), along with refusing to open the door for her; not being to understand aliens would scare Clara into never staying on as a companion. | This marks the first time that the [[TARDIS translation circuit]] hasn't worked properly for the Doctor's companion on their first trip to a place where their native language isn't spoken; the Doctor could understand [[Dor'een]] perfectly, but all Clara could hear was aggressive barking.
