LONDON -- The many characters in the science-fiction show "Doctor
Who" will be zooming through time and space on the edge of letters in
2013.
Britain's Royal Mail is marking the 50th anniversary of the
popular show with a series of stamps featuring each of the 11 actors who
have played the title role, known as the Doctor. Those featured include
the most recent actor, Matt Smith, as well as past Time Lords such as
David Tennant and Christopher Eccleston.
The series will also
include a miniature sheet that brings together Second Class stamps
featuring the Doctor's time-traveling machine and four of his iconic
foes - a Dalek, an Ood, a Weeping Angel and a Cyberman.
The stamps honoring the cult British television program will be available starting at the end of March.
