With a new episode of BBC, Disney+, and Showrunner Russell T. Davies's Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu-starring Doctor Who hitting this weekend, we're getting a chance to look ahead (two weeks, to be exact) at what May 17th has to offer. Why is that date so special? If you're a Eurovision fan, then you already know the answer. That's "Super Saturday," people! Writer Juno Dawson's S02E06: "The Interstellar Song Contest" hits Disney+ and BBC iPlayer that day – but it's what's going down on BBC One that's the big headline-grabber.

After The Doctor (Gatwa) and Belinda (Sethu) get done travelling to the 803rd Interstellar Song Contest (where planets from across the universe compete for the top prize) and mingling with Rylan and the King of Eurovision himself, Graham Norton, it's time for the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final itself (8 pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer). In a bid to be crowned the Eurovision champion 2025, twenty-five countries and the UK's act, Remember Monday, will perform at the biggest song competition in the world. From there, Gatwa will be on hand to serve as the UK's Eurovision spokesperson, delivering the results of the UK's National Jury live during the event.
