| === ''Doctor Who'' postponements === | | === Other matters === |
| 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 {{cs|42 (TV story)}} 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 {{cs|Silence in the Library (TV story)}} was too delayed by one week due to the BBC's broadcast of the {{w|Eurovision Song Contest 2008|2008 edition}}.

| However, a more common occurrence is a ''[[Doctor Who]]'' episode simply airing on the day and coexisting with the Eurovision final rather than being delayed by a week.

| ==="Nul points"===
| |
| 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]]: {{cs|The Parting of the Ways (TV story)}}, due to the [[force field]] he installed. However, the phrase's connection to the Eurovision Song Contest is not explicitly mentioned within the episode.
