The sixth episode of this upcoming season of Doctor Who may be thwarted by the BBCs other behemoth of primetime television: Eurovision. And, because time does sometimes get quite wimey in the real life, its when the series is airing its own Eurovision send-upan episode aptly titled The Interstellar Song Contest, guest-starring real-life Eurovision host Ryan Clark. The BBC Ones scheduled set of release dates for new Doctor Who episodes could see an interruption not just because of Eurovision, but because of another major TV event in the form of the FA Cup Final. Doctor Who is supposed to air between the two, but the schedule only works if the soccer game ends when its supposed to, which as sports fans know is hardly a given. According to RadioTimes.com, Doctor Who showrunner Russell T Davies is taking things in stride. The most exciting week of all is the Eurovision week, because that afternoon is the FA Cup Final live on BBC One, he said. At 8 oclock at night is Eurovision live across Europe. Were in the middle. If the football has lots of goals and things, going into extra time and penalties, we get crushed in the middle. So yes, the Doctor is between quite a rock and a hard place there. Its like we cannot movethe football cant move, Eurovision cant move. So we genuinely dont know if well be transmitted that day. Either way, itll be on the iPlayer, Davies continued, but fans will have to keep an eye on the game to see whether or not BBC One will be able to run the episode. They said to us, Do you want to move it? and I said, Thats the most exciting thing Ive ever heard. Lets find out if were transmitting. Lets feel alive.
