Behind the scenes
The Intergalactic Song Contest and its commentator Logan from AUDIO: Bang-Bang-A-Boom! spoofed the Eurovision Song Contest and its commentator.

The Eurovision Song Contest was responsible for the one-week delay of two episodes of the BBC Wales revival of Doctor Who. The transmission of Series 3's 42 was postponed to the 19th of May (rather than the 12th) because of the BBC's broadcast of the 2007 of the  Eurovision Song Contest. Next year, the transmission of Series 4's Silence in the Library was delayed by one week due to the BBC's broadcast of the 2008 of the  Eurovision Song Contest.

The Ninth Doctor says ".", a phrase used when an Eurovision act is unfortanute 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.
