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

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 edition 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 edition of the Eurovision Song Contest.
