M is for... Moxx of Balhoon


A small blue-skinned being present on Platform One to witness the destruction of the Earth around the year 5 Billion. He represented the legal firm of Jolco and Jolco. All guests were expected to provide gifts to their fellow VIPs, and the Moxx offered samples of his bodily fluids in the form of saliva.
After the space station's shields had been sabotaged by the Lady Cassandra, the searing heat from the expanding sun broke in to certain sections of the vessel. The Moxx of Balhoon was one of those killed - his body incinerated.

Played by: Jimmy Vee. Voiced by: Silas Carson. Appearances: The End of the World (2005).
  • The Moxx provides the very first mention of the phrase "Bad Wolf" in the 2005 series - describing a "Bad Wolf scenario" to other guests.
  • Along with Jabe, images of the Moxx featured heavily in the advance publicity for the revived series. 
  • Another Balhoonian - the Moxx's brother Jixx - was to have featured as part of the Shadow Proclamation in The Stolen Earth.
  • This was Vee's first appearance in the series. It was quickly followed by the "Space Pig" in Aliens of London - filmed first. He would go on to feature in episodes starring David Tennant and Peter Capaldi - the Skovox Blitzer being his most recent appearance to date.
  • He has been operating R2-D2 since The Force Awakens.
  • Carson is best known on the series for providing the vocals for the Ood. He provided other voices for this story, including the Adherents of the Repeated Meme.
