Doctor Who: 5 Worst Creature Designs From The New Series

By David Pustansky /

3. Max Capricorn

The Voyage of the Damned was the Doctor Who version of the Poseidon Adventure. Set aboard the star ship Titanic, the foe most seen in this episode were €˜The Host€™ which looked like the offspring of a Weeping Angel who had got its freak on with an Oscar statue. They however were not the main villain of the story. Instead we got Max Capricorn a bald old man with a gold tooth. So far so good right? Sounds like a Bond villain. But unfortunately not. Max Capricorn is only briefly seen as in videos aboard the Titanic for the best part of the episode, but then returns as a Cyborg for the final act. Cyborgs are cool, and can be scary emotionless monsters in many works of science fiction. Max on the other hand looks like someone beheaded a car salesman and put it on top of a washing machine. Originally Max was to be played by screen legend Dennis Hopper, but instead we got the wonderfully awful overacting of George Costigan.
