GRAHAM NORTON JOINS DOCTOR WHO AS GUEST STAR FOR UPCOMING SERIES

Calling all Eurovision fans! This season of Doctor Who will follow the Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) as they travel to the 803rd Interstellar Song Contest – where planets from across the universe compete for the top prize, and along for the ride is the King of Eurovision himself, Graham Norton.

Graham Norton joins the ensemble cast for the episode, which includes guest appearances from stars of stage and screen Freddie Fox, Rylan, Kadiff Kirwan, Charlie Condou and Miriam-Teak Lee.

Russell T Davies, Showrunner said: “There’s no song contest without the great man himself, and it was an honour to welcome Graham Norton to our studios in Cardiff. And it’s not just a cameo, he has a whole plot twist all to himself! This is the wildest episode of all, and we’re lucky to have Graham adding to the mayhem.”

‘The Interstellar Song Contest’, which features an appearance from Graham Norton, is the sixth episode of the upcoming season and is set to air on Saturday 17th May.

Season two of Doctor Who launches this Saturday (12th April) in the UK exclusively on BBC iPlayer at 8am and on BBC One at 6:50pm, and exclusively on Disney+ outside of the UK (where available). Doctor Who is produced by Bad Wolf with BBC Studios for the BBC and Disney Branded Television.
