Royal Mail - 50th anniversary of Doctor Who
"Today sees Royal Mail celebrate the 50th anniversary of the world’s
longest running science fiction series in TV history – Doctor Who – with
the launch of a special set of 11 stamps.
The stamps feature each of the actors who have played the role of the
Time Lord over the last 50 years. The stamp design sees the faces of
each Doctor appearing out of the iconic swirling screen idents, made
famous by the opening credits of the TV show.
The first two stamps are
in black and white, as the first two incarnations of the Doctor were
broadcast in monochrome.
In addition to the 11 stamps featuring the Doctors, a five stamp
miniature sheet will also be available. In the centre of the sheet is a
stamp featuring the Doctor’s space and time travelling machine, the
world famous Time and Relative Dimension in Space or the TARDIS as it is
more commonly known.
The remaining four stamps feature some of the
Doctor’s most famous foes; a Dalek, a Cyberman, an Ood and a Weeping
Angel.
