The Trial of the Meep | The Star Beast | Doctor Who 

The Meep being evil was kinda obvious, what i did not expect was for the Wrarth to be so wholesome.

Moment of silence for fallen heroes. Sergeant Zogroth and Constable Zreeg. May those two rest in peace🫡

The Wrarths are probably the only alien species that read the memo that The Doctor guards the Earth, and prepared accordingly.

First, we had The Trial of a Time Lord. Now, we have The Trial of the Meep.

It was nice hearing the Doctor invoke the Shadow Proclamation again

2:27 That was the smoothest cute-horrific transition I have ever seen. Kudos to the Vfx team

I love the implication between this and the classic series episode "The Stones of Blood" that the Doctor just ALWAYS has a barrister's wig handy on him in case he suddenly needs to do something like this.

my favourite detail of this episode is the fact that the Meep is entirely a puppet until the reveal, that just-slight uncanny valley transition is so subtle yet so effective at selling the reveal edit: i was wrong please stop sending death threats

The Meep was voiced by Miriam Margolyes. What a treasure she is.

'OH TO HELL WITH THIS!' Miriam Margolyes is a treasure.

I literally could not tell that The Meep was voiced by Miriam Margolyes until it let the mask fall and she did it's "evil" voice 🤣

“For i am the Beep of all the Meeps!! 😈” is a criminally underrated and hilarious line

What I really loved was that the particular of the guns not leaving a single mark on the taxi was so noticeable, I thought it was a mistake on the set. I felt great when in this scene, the doctor pointed it out as a proof.

Who else just LOVES Judge David Tennant?

Everyone is talking about 2:27 sudden face expression of the Meep, but the shot at 1:43 - 1:46 is worth to take a note. The "oh sh*t* face" when the Meep's true nature is slowly exposed.

Absolutely fantastic scene 😂 got both a chuckle and a gasp, even though I predicted both things, the Wrarth's posh accents and the Meep switch up

It was a nice touch when rose shook her at the meep insulting her, because she knows her mom won’t stand for it.

They truly made the meep a unique two sided character. You truly believe and wish to believe the meep is a kind-hearted creature that is under attack but once the evidence is presented along with other testimonies in a trial fashion, just like in real life, the meep shows it’s true colors and let’s down its facade that made it likable to begin with. It’s sad and scary but it goes to show not all things and people are as they appear in this world, or any world beyond our own.

At the beginning the meep was so cute but it went from.. "MEEP MEEP" to "which shall I eat first " what a funny doctor who villain😂

Tbh the Meep has to be the most honest politician I've ever seen.

Of course the Meep is evil. No creature could really be that cute-looking and innocent - also I knew of the Star Beast comic beforehand.

"Let's throw the word psychedelic in there, kids love that word" - Russel T Davis

I REALLY LIKED WHEN THEY WERE SHOTTING CAR, AND IT DIDNT HAVE ANY SCRATHES, I THOUGHT IT WAS A PRODUCTION MISTAKE, BUT WHEN I SAW THIS SCENE AND WHEN THEY EXPLAINED IT, NICE

meep one moment : meep meep meep the next: NO STUN GUNS FOR ME JUST DIE He's so me

Was the psychedelic sun a callback to "42?" I always thought that story underrated.

The amount of energy David Tennant has the moment he realizes he's getting his way is absolutely intoxicating gods help me I love this mans acting.

I will always be grateful that beep made the jump from extended universe to the screen, more of that please!

I love that the writing of doctor who always treats the audience with respect. Obviously we noticed that the plasma guns didn't make a mark on the car. But rather than gloss over it like a bunch of action movies with car chase scenes doctor who weaves the explanation into the story and used it as leverage to reveal who the meep actually was

"You stupid woman with your weird child" I love the Meep for this roast 🤣

I love the idea the doctor is carrying this wig around waiting for the perfect moment to use it

May Constance Zerg and Sergeant Zogroth rest in peace.

The Meep reveal still gets me LOL. 😂

"Oh! To hell with this! Exhibit C! No stun guns for me!" 2:28

The Wrarth Warriors Were So Great With Their Posh Accents And Their Mannerisms.

I always get a kick of seeing the Doctor just whip out random stuff from their coats 😅

Never call a mothers child weird

David said every time he took the wig off his hair would flop flat and his on set hair and makeup lady was groaning 😂😂

I actually thought the Meep was Innocent boy was I wrong

Can we get an F in the Chat for Sergeant Zogroth?

I knew all about Meep but all my children when we watched the episode fell in love with the character and couldn’t understand why anyone would want to ha*m such an innocent thing, until this scene when Meep reveals their true self. S-cared the 💩 out my husband and all six of our children with our youngest set of twins saying “Sh00t it, quick!” I almost fell off the couch laughing watching all their reactions and feelings change in the split second Meep does! 🤣 I knew it was coming at some point because I’ve got the original comics still. They don’t want one in the house now. Thing is our house is like a personal collector’s museum there’s going to be multiple versions when/if they do decide to release Toys, bears, figures etc… of the character. The Bugs s-cared them more even after its revealed that they were the good guys, they don’t want any of them in the house either. They’re all gonna get a Meep for their bedrooms as well as the living area and my office. Also seen people whining about the upgraded Sonic Screwdriver and saying that it shouldn’t have all the extra things it can do added to it! Have they not been paying attention to previous episodes and Doctors going all the way back to Tom Baker? The Doctor has repeatedly made comments and reminders to himself and the TARDIS that it needs upgrading with extra settings because it never worked on wood when it was a life or de@h situation and the only thing that was in the way was wood in some form! It’s literally one of the last things 13th said to TARDIS before her final showdown with the Master. She told the TARDIS to add a wood setting, so it would make sense that she (the TARDIS) would add other settings as well on top of it being able to work on wood now to help the Doctor if needed and they wasn’t anywhere near the TARDIS. I personally like that it’s got even more settings, it saved the Doctor’s, Meep’s, Donna’s and her whole family’s lives by being able to create the panels for them to get upstairs because the TARDIS wouldn’t have shown up due to the hos-tile action that was going on at the time in the house and on the whole street! Or has people forgotten about all the Doctors saying it needs more settings especially one for wood? 🙄🤦🏾‍♀️

ADDRESS THE COURT! David Tennant Ace Attorney

The Meep started to sound more like Miriam Margolyes (who voiced the Meep) when she turned evil.

Miriam Margoyles did an amazing job as the Meep

Watching this again, I remembered that episode of Tenants, he’s met a living sun before. Some humans were trying to harvest it for power and they got hypnotised from it.

I see Israel in the Meep

I'm the beep of all the ****ing meeps

0:22 Let's be honest, Meep's run was the best part of the episode. ❤

The Meep kind of reminds me of Cartman

Love how this is simultaneously an adaptation of Doctor Who magazine comic while also being a bait-and-switch where you think The Meep is going to be Doctor Who’s version of Grogu from The Mandalorian (cute alien that they can make tons of merchandise on) only for the reveal to make The Meep more akin to a villainous Star Wars character like Palpatine

I actually read the old Doctor Who comic this was based on… it was nice to see the idea brought to life!

I knew who Beep the Meep was going in and was waiting the entire time for this heel turn

That was one of the best bits of the 60th Anniversary trio in my opinion, the way the Meep just switched from for weak n feeble to evil in a click of fingers was stunning work

As a lifelong Doctor Who fan (44 years and counting) I'm afraid I have rather a shocking confession to make. I quite enjoy the taste of pears, actually.

The Meep looks like a furby mixed with a gremlin

I loved this, it’s so classic Doctor Who. The weird bug people are the good guys and the cute cuddly ET is the true evil of this story Love the Meep, just love ❤

Why would rose be considered weird by the meep when rose was the first human the meep met? Shouldn't everyone else be considered weird by the meep by being different to rose

I had never heard of Beep the Meep before this episode. I gotta say, I was fooled, but good.

I’ve never felt so betrayed lmao 🤣

Don't let the meep's cuteness fool you.

Best moment of this Who era so far. Amazing❤

Now I'm intrigued by the "living sun" concept.

When this scene aired, I completely forgot that the meep was evil as I was shocked and speechless😂 ,but It was a great scene anyway. The transition from cute meep to evil meep was smooth and brilliantly edited.

The Brain: The same as always, Pinkie. Today we take over the WORLD! Meep: Today, I destroy all life! The Brain: WHAT? WHAT? WHAAATTT?

The Meep's change to evil was quite similiar to Gollum, especially those pupils.

Someday some form of media will shock us all by having the cute cuddly small tiny thing actually be good instead of some horrific evil. " *looking at you Kirby!*

Loved this scene

All hail Beep the Meep.

I loved how The Meep used pronouns in a manipulative manner.

The Meep episode reminded of Gremlins. Cute and adorable until they switch to be evil and vindictive.

I thought that meep was so cute and he'd fooled everyone!

I hate that those brave soldiers had to die because the Doctor stopped them.😢

This is my favorite scene from The Star Beast

I love doctor who❤️

HAIL TO THE MEEP! HAIL TO THE MOST HIGH! Me and my brother are obbessed with the meep

3:36 i love the face david makes here 😂

While it was obvious from the get go that Meep was gonna be evil it still brought to mind that one quote from Galaxy Quest: "Yeah sure they're cute now. But in a second they're gonna get mean. They're gonna get ugly somehow. And there's gonna be a million more of them."

THIS is why I have trust issues

It's horrifying how in one second that cute little face turns into a demonic evil one..

zogroth and zreeg are adorable😂🥺

*Soldiers of The Psychedelic Sun* is getting used in a song. At the very least, the title of a song. I've already got loads of DW references in my file of lyric ideas, including Carionites and facing the raven. But Soldiers of The Psychedelic Sun sounds so cool. In fact, I've had an idea for a track that I haven't figured out how to make yet, but that will be incorporated into it.

So glad I can catch up the series!!

LIIIIIIIEEEEES! The Meep is an innocent little baby who needs cuddles... and just got... er... a bit confused.

David Tennant is My Favourite as The Tenth and Fourteenth Doctor in Doctor Who 👍

While I really like this twist, I think a better one that fits the story of both sides is that there were two Meeps. One corrupted by the Psychedelic Sun, the other was immune to the Sun and/or they were born off world while the Sun went mad. The reason the Bad Meep wants the Good Meep dead? Either because a cure to the Psychedelic Sun's madness could be synthesized from the Good Meep's DNA or the Bad Meep sees any Meep that don't worship the Psychedelic Sun as heretics who should be put down. The Wrarth Warriors chase and shoot down the wrong spaceship, causing the Good Meep to misunderstand the situation and giving the Bad Meep plenty of time to gather an army on Earth. The reason why there are only two Meeps left? Because the Bad Meeps killed the Good ones, while the Wrarth Warriors then killed the Bad ones.

Giant humanoid insect whit glowimg eyes and snaping claws. Speaks whit a polite brithis accent.😅

i know it's taken driectly from the comic, but i think the meep should've stayed adorable. it would've been funnier/more interesting

Personally I loved the tone of this story, and this scene especially. I think "good guy was bad guy" is way more fun as a twist than "bad guy was good guy", which I've had a little much of by now. It's light-hearted and cheesy and a real proper Adventure; though the ending was a little rushed I still liked it well enough. Deus ex machina is kinda Russell's thing, at least it doesn't come completely out of the blue.

Obey the Meep!

That's how I enter every party I go to: "I am the beep of ALL the meeps, motherf@ckahs!"

I literally cannot believe I am saying this, but Archie's Weird Mysteries did this exact episode first (up until the end(ish) of this scene)!

Well, so much for the cute and cuddly Meep toys. But then, I do have a Funko Pop Pting, who's just as nasty and not such a good actor. They should meet up and let the fur fly. And, of course, The Doctor's court in the car park.

I love how the Doctor just has a powdered wig in his jacket. For no reason. And we've all gotten so used to his weirdness, no one bats an eye.

Meep was scary but the dolls in the giggle were scarier

Oh, to hell with this exhibit C!.

That the Meep was actual evil I kinda saw coming but not the sudden court scene with the wig. :D

I’ve said this elsewhere. Rose Noble should have been more betrayed by this twist. While Donna, and The Doctor, are used to betrayal. She’s still a kid after all

Of course he has a barrister's peruke in his jacket pocket. Wonder if he has a gavel, or would the Sonic have a setting for that...

You know things are getting serious when he busts out the wig.

Your turn, the Meep. Witness for the defense. So, what do you say?

I am the cutest fluffy alien in the universe... WHO IS ALSO A SPAWN OF SATAN! Erm... I mean. Meep Meep.
