| The Eurovision Song Contest was responsible for the one-week delay of two different episodes of the [[BBC Wales]] revival of ''[[Doctor Who]]''. The transmission of [[Series 3 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 3]]'s ''[[42 (TV story)|42]]'' was postponed to [[19 May (releases)|19 May]] (rather than [[12 May (releases)|12 May]]) because of the [[BBC]]'s broadcast of the {{w|Eurovision Song Contest 2007|2007 edition}} of the Eurovision Song Contest. The following year, the transmission of [[Series 4 (Doctor Who 2005)|series 4]]'s ''[[Silence in the Library (TV story)|Silence in the Library]]'' was too delayed by one week due to the BBC's broadcast of the {{w|Eurovision Song Contest 2008|2008 edition}}.

| | [[Category:Eurovision Song Contest| *]] |
| The [[Ninth Doctor]] says "[[nul points]]", a phrase used when a Eurovision act is unfortunate enough to receive no points, when the [[Dalek]]s fail to kill him when they fire at him as he steps out of [[The Doctor's TARDIS|his TARDIS]] to meet them in [[TV]]: ''[[The Parting of the Ways (TV story)|The Parting of the Ways]]'', due to the [[force field]] he installed. However, the phrase's connection to the Eurovision Song Contest is not explicitly mentioned within the episode.
