Beep the Meep

Beep the Meep, also known as Beep and the Meep interchangeably, was the leader of the Meeps and a galactic criminal who was self-described as "the Most-High".

Biography
In 1980, Beep led the Meep armada to conquer the galaxy, but they were defeated by the Wrarth Warriors. Beep, the most cruel and despicable of all Meepkind, was the only Meep to survive. (TV: The Star Beast) Fleeing, Beep was pursued to Earth. The Meep's neutron drive star cruiser crashed at the Blackcastle steel mills. Beep was found by Sharon Davies and Fudge Higgins, who assumed the cute creature was harmless and took the Meep back to Fudge's home. Beep used the Meep's ship's black orb to take control of the people of Blackcastle to make them repair Beep's ship. The Fourth Doctor sabotaged the engines and Beep was captured by the Wrarth Warriors. (COMIC: Doctor Who and the Star Beast)

Beep was rude towards the jury during their trial and was sentenced by Judge "Stickler" Scraggs to three thousand years in a top security prison. (PROSE: Beep the Meep gets 3000 years) In 1995, Beep convinced the parole board that Beep had been rehabilitated, and the Meep was released after only fifteen years. Beep returned to Blackcastle to retrieve the Meep's spare starship drive, but the Doctor trapped Beep in a Lassie film. (COMIC: Star Beast II) A copy of the film was kept at the Wrarth Institute. (AUDIO: The Ratings War)

In the early 21st century, Beep convinced a girl from the Wrarth Institute to release Beep from the movie. Beep went to Earth and took over Roger Lowell, a television executive, and made him change his programming schedules to appeal to the lowest common denominator. Beep's goal was to gain a massive viewing audience and hypnotise them with subliminal messages on Audience Shares and commands to kill on Beep and Friends. The Sixth Doctor stopped the Meep by confronting Beep and claiming he already had disabled the subliminal messages. This enraged Beep so much that the Meep tried to kill Lucy and Todd, the contestants on Audience Shares. The Doctor only had disabled Beep's laser pistol; the subliminal message went out when it looked like Beep was murdering the contestants, turning the audience against the Meep. Beep was arrested by security and Beep and Friends was never broadcast. (AUDIO: The Ratings War)

Beep was fleeing galactic police when the Meep activated a dimensional warp, sucking Beep, the Eighth Doctor and Izzy Sinclair into a parallel universe, where they all arrived at the BBC Television Centre. Beep planned to use raw black star energy to enslave humanity, and ultimately the galaxy. Although Beep captured the Doctor, Izzy recruited Tom Baker to act as a distraction long enough for her to reprogram Beep's machines and defeat them. The authorities then took Beep away to a zoo.

Landing in London
In winter of 2023 (TV: The Star Beast), Rose Noble's life changed when she "stumble[d] upon something alien". (PROSE: ) This "something alien" was Beep, who at this point identified only as "the Meep". The Meep had crash-landed into a London steel mill while fleeing the Wrarth Warriors. Planning to escape the pursuing foes, the Meep brainwashed several UNIT soldiers using black star energy to turn them into Beep's Soldiers of the Psychedelic Sun. According to this account, the Meep and the Doctor had never met before. The Meep then tricked the Fourteenth Doctor and the Noble family into helping Beep the Meep escape.

Once the Meep's deception was exposed, the Meep killed Zogroth and Zreeg before preparing to escape using a double-bladed dagger drive, which would destroy all of London in the process. Following Beep's defeat by the Doctor and the DoctorDonna, the Meep was taken into custody to be imprisoned for 10,000 years, with the deaths that had occurred during the incident being included in the Meep's litany of crimes. The Meep swore to escape and claim revenge, stating that "a creature with two hearts is such a rare thing. Just wait till I tell the Boss." As the Meep was teleported away, the Doctor commented that he hated cryptic warnings. (TV: )

Undated events
Beep attended Bonjaxx's birthday party at Bonjaxx's Bar on Maruthea. In a drunken state and wielding a bottle of Blackcastle brown ale, Beep approached the Seventh Doctor and his future incarnation to claim a bounty made by Shaman Kahn. The Freefall Warriors attacked them and everyone began fighting each other, beginning a bar fight. (COMIC: Party Animals)

Legacy
Years later, when a Vortex parasite attacked the Doctor's TARDIS, it summoned images of the Doctor's enemies, including Beep. (COMIC: A Life of Matter and Death)

Personality
Beep was a sadist, enjoying inflicting pain on others for no real purpose. Beep resented being thought of as cute, but used it to the Meep's advantage when manipulating people. Beep also disliked other cute things and would go out of the Meep's way to destroy them. (AUDIO: The Ratings War)

Name
In Doctor Who and the Star Beast, the Meep is never explicitly named. The Meep self-describes as "the supreme Beep of all the Meeps!" to which the drones respond, "Hail, Beep of all the Meeps!" This could imply "Beep" is a title, not a name of this specific Meep.

However, in nearly every subsequent appearance, the Meep is referred to as "Beep the Meep". Beep the Meep gets 3000 years uses "Beep the Meep", "Beep", and "the Meep" interchangeably. The Doctor refers to the individual as "Beep" in Star Beast II and "Beep the Meep" in TV Action!. The manifestation in A Life of Matter and Death is named as "Beep the Meep".

In the television adaptation, the Meep is only credited as "the Meep" and again refers to Beep the Meep as "the Beep of all the Meeps", as if Beep were a title.

Information from invalid sources
Beep was interviewed for Doctor Who Magazine by Ken Book, celebrating thirty years since the Meep's first appearance in The Star Beast. The interview contained a clipping from Gallifrey Guardian of Beep's trial after the events of The Star Beast. Beep hurled abuse at the jury and was given three thousand years imprisonment. Fifteen years later, Beep hacked off the judge's leg and beat the judge to death with it. At the end of the interview, the Meep tricked the interviewer into scratching behind Beep's ear, allowing Beep to grab the recorder the interview was taped on, used it to produce a burst a sound of ultra-high-frequency sound to release the Meep's cuffs and took out a laser pistol from beneath Beep's fur to kill the interviewer. Presumably, Beep escaped the prison after that. (PROSE: )
