The British post is issuing Dr. Who stamps to commorate the 50th anniversary of the show. All the Doctors will be honored. I'd give my eye teeth for the David Tennant one. I shall have to be on the lookout!
Yes the doctor who set look very cool, David Tennant was on a stamp being hamlet a few years back, it did used to be the rule that the queen was the only living person allowed on a stamp, but clearly that policy has now been abandoned in favour of fandom. I wonder if this means David Tennant will become the first non royal to be on a stamp twice while still being alive, (although hamlet and the doctor are sort of royalty aren't they) though perhaps some olympian beat him to it, he must certainly win for being the first to be two different characters on a stamp
You'd be much better off buying the set direct from the Royal Mail when they're issued in March - you can register here for info http://www.royalmail.com/DoctorWho
All part of the service. :-) They're not expensive. You can usually pick the whole set up in a presentation pack for just a few quid, which is nicer than just buying the loose stamps. If you remind me nearer the time I could pick a set up for you and post it out.
Incidently I have the bible and the Robert Burns two pound coins, but I've never seen either the DNA double helix nor the Darwin and monkey two pound coins. If anyone comes across either one, I'll have 'em.
I think Si have the double helix, I will check. You're welcome to have it. In fact, if you're a collector, you're welcome to root through the novelty coins I've picked up over the years, to see if there are any you want/ need.
Well, we are (hopefully), but we will be in Manchester and Dover just long enough to leave. I don't know if there will be time - unless Wales uses the same royal mail post... I'm rubbish with such things.
Nah course they're royal mail, its the same country and besides even if it weren't having separate postal services for each section of the UK would be stupid as you'd have to go through different organisations with different prices essentially if you wanted to send a letter to any of your relatives, it would be vastly inefficient.....and the royal mail manages being inefficient to such a high standard without adding further complications I find. It will be exactly the same in Wales they'll just maybe have a welsh accent, besides its doctor who, the Wales tourist board probably suggested the doctor who stamps. They'll be selling them in cardiff , possibly in the royal mail ianto Jones memorial post office.
It would have to be Portmeirion for us as we will be driving straight there. Maybe they will have them for sale in The Prisoner Store... stranger things have happened, like finding stuffed Shawn and Gromit in a tiny store in Vermont.
