"Nul points"
The Ninth Doctor says "nul points", a phrase used when a Eurovision act is unfortunate enough to receive no points, when the Daleks fail to kill him when they fire at him as he steps out of his TARDIS to meet them in TV: 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.
