I haven't watched many Eurovision Song Contests live in
recent years, but we did always find the scoring the most
entertaining part when we did...

Me too. Before I stopped watching it altogether I used to skip
the songs and just start watching when I guessed that the
scoring was about to start. Even way back 50 years ago, most
of the songs were so dire that I can still remembered what a
shock it was when the then unknown ABBA performed "Waterloo"
and I thought "Wow, this is really good!"

 I vaguely remember Waterloo, only because ABBA became so big...
but I do remember Johnny Logan (twice) and our other winners...
they were always on RTE singing those songs. Now, all kinds of
everything is more a description of the Eurovision Song
Contest's participants!
 

I'm not sure about the two Rani's thing, or Mrs Flood now
becoming an underling either. I was also hoping that
bi-generation was just a once-off in the show too... but RTD
likes to hammer down on his ideas so we've now seen
bi-generation twice in a few years, after never hearing of it
for sixty years! No doubt it will rear its head(s) once
again in the future now that it has become a 'thing'. For me
it was silly fun once, but a stupid gimmick twice.

Not so bad as "mavity" being used again, though.

 Definitely a sign that we are in a alternate universe...
 

I now have a variant of a famous Who (as in the rock group,
not as in DW) song playing in my head: "Talking about
bi-generation".

 It fits! :-)
 

There's only two episodes left of the season now, so now that
the unsurprising surprises have been revealed, what is RTD
going to throw at us in those two episodes? It's going to
have to be something BIG for a season finale... but will RTD
get the landing right or will it be a damp squib? One thing
is for sure, with RTD's subtle use of the word "mavity" in
this episode, 'that' is definitely going to play a part!

I assume we're going to get a two-parter dealing with how the
Doctor prevents the end of the world, which from the date for
it that was given within the episode would appear to be
scheduled for this weekend. I also assume that it's the Rani
who is trying to bring about Earth's destruction, though what
her motivation for that could be is hard to see.

 The end of the world and how the Doctor gets back to the real
universe...a universe where gravity exists once again.
 Expect some subtly from RTD with THAT one!!!

If he was in a different universe then why doesn't he know that from the references to mavity instead of gravity. The only explanation is that he isn't real himself. Remember Doctor Who ended in 2017.
