Doctor Who Season 15 Episode 6 Features Interstellar Song Contest From Lagos to Space

Doctor Who's Season 2 episode 6, "The Interstellar Song Contest," features the Fifteenth Doctor (Ncuti Gatwa) and Belinda Chandra (Varada Sethu) at a futuristic Eurovision-inspired event on the Harmony Arena space station in 2925, which is hijacked by antagonists Kid and Wynn aiming to broadcast a deadly Delta Wave across the galaxy. The episode balances campy, musical spectacle with chilling horror, notably through the mass ejection of spectators into space, and explores darker facets of the Doctor's character. The episode includes the surprise return of the Doctor's granddaughter, Susan Foreman, marking her first appearance since the classic series, hinting at significant developments for the season finale. British TV host Rylan Clark appears as himself, bringing a grounded element to the story and connecting the fictional contest to real-world Eurovision traditions. Writer Juno Dawson and director Ben A. Williams crafted a complex narrative blending humor, horror, and emotional depth, setting the stage for the concluding episodes of the season. This installment has been praised for its mix of affectionate Eurovision homage, thriller elements, and impactful character moments.
