The stamps in detail1st
Class – TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimension in Space)
is the Doctor’s ship, capable of travelling anywhere in space
and time. A product of Time Lord technology, the interior of the
ship is much larger than its exterior. The Doctor’s TARDIS is an
unreliable,
obsolete TT Type 40, Mark 3 TARDIS with a faulty chameleon circuit, stuck in the shape of a mid-twentieth century police telephone box. 2nd Class – The Ood Humanoid in appearance, but with tentacles on the lower portions of their faces, the Ood speak through a translator device: a small sphere connected to their “mouths” by a tube. The tube originally connected their bodies to a hive brain, but in the far future, a cruel human organisation isolated them from the brain and used them as a slave race. Their first appearance was in The Impossible Planet, 2006. 2nd Class – Cybermen were originally humanoids originating on Earth’s twin planet Mondas. They implanted more and more artifi cial parts into their bodies leaving them coldly logical and calculating cyborgs, with every emotion deleted from their minds. Their first appearance was in The Tenth Planet in 1966. The Cybermen returned as a parallel universe version in the 2006 two-part story, Rise of the Cybermen and The Age of Steel, and have been recurring villains in the revived series ever since. 2nd Class – Weeping Angel: an ancient race of aliens that feed off the time energy created by sending their victims back in time. When they are not being observed by another being, they can move very quickly and silently, but when they are being watched, they become “quantum-locked”, occupying a single position in space and becoming stone. If two Weeping Angels look at each other at the same time, they are trapped in stone form until an outside force moves them apart, so they cover their eyes while moving, giving the impression that they are weeping. Their first appearance was in Blink in 2007. 2nd Class – Dalek Bent on dominating the Universe the Daleks were created on the planet Skaro by the crazed scientist Davros when he implanted mutant Kaled bodies into tank-like robotic shells during the thousand-year war between the Kaleds and the Thals. They have had every emotion purged except hate, leaving them with the desire to purge the Universe of all non-Dalek life. They are popularly known for their catchphrase “Exterminate!” and are a well-recognised reference point in British popular culture. The Daleks first appeared in 1963’s The Daleks.

Comment on the postmarks in row 3: Pebble Mill Road (12811) is the location of BBC Television studios. 12807-12809 do not indicate the name of the stamp issue - presumably because the sponsor of the postmark did not want to pay the BBC £1000 for the right to use the name Doctor Who (see our blog comment). |
