Doctor Who 7×07 The Rings of Akhaten will air next Saturday, and feature the first trip to another plaent and space station by Clara Oswald.

The official synopsis from the BBC reads:

“The Rings of Akhaten”

Clara 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.

Jenna-Louise Coleman has stated that this is her favorite of the episodes that she has shot so far. She told The Radio Times, “It’s Clara’s first experience of an alien world, realising what life will be like to travel with the Doctor. It’s big and heartfelt, but really funny. An epic episode wonderfully written by Neil Cross [Luther].” As for scary monsters, wait for the finale. “It’s a huge surprise, a monster with style.”

Do you favor adventures set in alien worlds, or do you prefer the earth-bound tales?
