Dr. Who gets a commemorative stamp
Meanwhile New Zealand post offers the Hobbit stamps (coins seen previously). Past science fiction stamps include Australia's Star Wars series and a US Post Star Trek series, as well as a 2004 UK stamp commemorating Tolkein's works.
But no one tops Jules Verne. Everyone has a stamp about him! (warning funky old slide show site)!

Doctors 4, 9, 10 and early 11 were all cool.

Clearly we view those episodes in opposite ways. Whenever I see an episode I'm worried the poor man will pass out from the exertion of standing up and the BBC will keep filming because by god they've got the film in the camera and they're going to use it no matter what. (It is, after all, their strategy when he's forgotten his lines.)

This is a weird strange coincidence.
My 11 year old son was taken to his first coin & stamp collecting fair in November. He was instantly besotted with the whole idea, and we joined him up to the local club which meets once a month.
He went to the first meeting and instantly bonded with an older woman (I guess she's maybe 22) over their shared love of Dr Who. He excitedly asked if she knew of any Dr Who stamps and she sadly admitted that she didn't think there were any.
Then, for his big Christmas present, I took him to the Sydney Opera House to see the Dr Who Symphonic Spectacular, which he declared was the best day of his life.
And now I get to show him Dr Who stamps. He's going to bounce off the walls with excitement.
Thanks, chapps.

It's a true fact. I'm not necessarily trying to draw a connection here, but Kennedy was also on stamps. So it looks like a pretty deep conspiracy.

Those of us who travel through time and collect stamps have a special fondness for the Futuristic Mail Delivery Series of stamps issued by the U.S. Postal Service in 1989. I acquired my first copy of the Air-suspended Hover Car in 1920 from a time-traveling philatelist who had no idea what he was about to have, many years later.

Dumb ex-pat question: can I buy these to use as normal stamps here in the UK? Cuz like, in the US, when we get fancy stamps, we just buy them in a normal stamp book and use them like any other stamp. I'm looking at all these stamps here, the Doctor Whos and the Roald Dahl ones and all that -- are they meant *only* for collecting, or can they just be normal stamps? I am confused.

Although I was pretty much feeling that way anyway after they dragged the Matt Smith/Amy/Rory thing out for FAR TOO LONG."

dunkadunc, 11 has potential to become cool again since the show FINALLY dumped Amy and Rory. His chemistry with Clara was positively crackling. It would be nice to see a little romance again outside of the tired Amy and Rory dynamic.
I'm curious about the functionality of the stamps, too. I think they would make a great gift.

I commend the committee for not succumbing to whatever temptation/pressure there may have been to colorize the portraits of Doctors 1 and 2. I'm fairly certain that there was probably some voice from marketing all upset that the two b&w images didn't match the others.

Who is this "Dr. Who" of which you speak? The only Doctor I know of Who might use that moniker eschews abbreviations all along the way.
You know, I've heard this sort of thing before, but I happened to pick up my More Than Complete Hitchhiker's Guide the other night and read the preface by Douglas Adams, wherein he talks briefly about his time with the show "Dr. Who". If Douglas Adams, who wrote and did script editing for the show, thinks it's ok to abbreviate it, then it's ok for everyone.

I'm sorry, when something gets a commemorative stamp it immediately becomes Not Cool Anymore.
It wasn't very cool during the last pre-revival years with Sylvester McCoy. I should have been the right age to get into it then (I was seven in 1989) but it didn't seem well watched, particularly for a mainstream teatime drama, certainly not as much as it is now. As my friend who worked in the Dr Who press office between McCoy and Eccleston says, to like Dr Who pre-revival marked you out in most company as a big ol' nerd, one step higher than a Trekkie but one step lower than Prisoner fans. I think it's quite cute how Dr Who has become really cool for kids to like now, and that it's a big cult hit in the US - was it really shown pre-2005 revival, or is it the internet/fandom/torrenting that's facilitated that?
Oh, yes, you can use these as regular stamps. When I was posting some stuff to the US over the summer, I specifically asked for Olympic stamps so I could stick them on the parcel. (They were only sold in groups of six, so I have two Chris Hoys and two Mo Farahs in my desk drawer still.) However, these are not nearly as cool as the lenticular stamps which I keep kicking myself for missing.

Sorry, usually special stamps can just be bought singly over the counter (Olympic stamps were an exception) - you have to ask for them at the Post Office when you buy a stamp and they'll be happy to oblige if they have them to hand.

As someone who actively seeked out strange scifi stuff as a teenager in the 90s all I knew about Dr. who was that it was referenced on the Simpsons a lot via a guy with a scarf and it had been on the air for a long long time and got shown on PBS sometimes. I think I thought it was a space tinged soap era ala Corononatn Street or something, I never sought it out and outside the Internet no one seemed to have heard of it.
