Beep Beep — also known as Beep the Meep — was the leader of the Meep s and a galactic criminal who referred to himself as the Most - High . In 1980 , Beep led the Meep armada to conquer the galaxy , but they were defeated by the Wrarth Warrior s . Fleeing , Beep was pursued to Earth . His neutron drive star cruiser crashed at the Blackcastle steel mills . He was found by Sharon Davies and Fudge Higgins , who assumed the cute creature was harmless and took him back to Fudge ' s home . Beep used his ship ' s black orb to take control of the people of Blackcastle to make them repair his ship . The Fourth Doctor sabotaged the engines and Beep was captured by the Wrarth Warriors . ( COMIC : " The Star Beast " ) In 1995 , Beep was released from prison , having convinced the parole board he had been rehabilitated . He returned to Blackcastle to retrieve his spare starship drive , but the Doctor trapped him 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 him . He 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 . His 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 him by confronting Beep and claiming he already had disabled the subliminal messages . This enraged Beep so much that he 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 him . Beep was arrested by security and " Beep and Friends " was never broadcasted . ( AUDIO : " The Ratings War " ) The Eighth Doctor and Izzy Sinclair pursued Beep to another universe , where he attempted another hypnotic attack . 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 him . ( COMIC : " TV Action ! " ) Other information . 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 . He resented being thought of as cute , but used it to his advantage when manipulating people . He also disliked other cute things and would go out of his way to destroy them . ( AUDIO : " The Ratings War " ) Behind the scenes . In a parodic appearance , Beep was interviewed in " Doctor Who Magazine " 419 by Ken Book ( a spoonerism for Ben Cook ) , celebrating thirty years since his 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 , he 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 his cuffs and took out a laser pistol from beneath his fur to kill the interviewer . Presumably , he escaped the prison after that .
