While this weekend's episode of Showrunner Russell T. Davies's Ncuti Gatwa and Varada Sethu-starring Doctor Who is still getting in on the Eurovision fun in a very big way with writer Juno Dawson's S02E06: "The Interstellar Song Contest," there is one "crossover" that won't be happening after all. 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 Clark and the King of Eurovision himself, Graham Norton, the Eurovision Song Contest Grand Final kicks off 8 pm on BBC One and BBC iPlayer. Originally, Gatwa was to serve as the UK's Eurovision spokesperson, delivering the results of the UK's National Jury live during the event. Unfortunately, due to unforeseen circumstances, Gatwa is no longer able to participate as spokesperson, with Sophie Ellis-Bextor set to serve in the role.
