Harry Potter actress Miriam Margolyes has become the latest big name to join the cast of Doctor Who.
Margolyes, a beloved UK acting vet, will voice Meep, the iconic creature adapted from The Star Beast comic strip.
“I’m relieved I got to work on Doctor Who before I died,” said Margolyes. “With sci-fi you never know. Thank you for making an old woman very happy.”
