Miriam Margolyes has fulfilled our greatest desires by joining Doctor Who!
However, it has been revealed that the national treasure leaked the news herself prior to the formal announcement.
The famed Harry Potter star is joining the cast to voice Meep, a monster derived from The Star Beast comic strip.
Upon her casting announcement, the 82-year-old said: ‘I’m relieved I got to work on Doctor Who before I died.
‘With sci-fi you never know. Thank you for making an old woman very happy.’
We couldn’t be happier too, Miriam!
While fans are overjoyed with the casting announcement, others have discovered that she revealed her part in her new book Oh Miriam! : Stories from an Extraordinary Life.
In an excerpt posted on X (formerly Twitter) by an individual earlier today, it read: ‘It was Sylvester McCoy, Doctor Who Mark VII, who got me going. He told me about travelling around the world, being paid to appear at events called “Comic Con”, “Awesome Con” and “Chicago TARDIS”, meeting science-fiction buffs and being photographed with them.
‘I rather liked the sound of that. Of course, I wasn’t in Doctor Who then, BUT I AM NOW! Just wait till you meet the Meep.’
One person wrote in response to the premature reveal: ‘We’re really being FED this era omg.’
It looks like Miriam Margoyles is playing Beep the Meep!
