Review The Rings of Akhaten (2013)

Your thoughts on this story....

Still not quite able to explain just who she is, the Doctor and Clara set off on their first adventure. He takes her to see the Rings of Akhaten and its famous pyramid.

I remember that this story in particular seemed to get a lot of flak at the time of transmission. It was the first time that I had seen the press start to turn on the show after a long straight run of adoration.

These speeches are all very well, but I sometimes miss Tom Baker simply saying quietly under his breath....

"Go away Tryst... Go away...."

More powerful than all the shouting in the world.
