Miriam Margolyes will feature in one of the 60th-anniversary episodes of Doctor Who that will air this November, the BBC has announced. Margolyes, 82, who has appeared in Blackadder, Babe and the Harry Potter films, will be the voice behind the Meep – or Beep the Meep – the furry and seemingly adorable alien adapted from the Star Beast comic strip in a special for the series. The Meep, which is small and has large, lemur-like eyes, first appeared in the Doctor Who magazine in the 1980s. Margolyes is best known for her role as Professor Sprout in the Harry Potter film franchise. She won a Bafta for best supporting actress for her role in Martin Scorsese’s 1993 film The Age of Innocence.
