\n
<\/span>
\n The stamps will feature each of the actors who have played the role of the Time Lord over the last 50 years. The stamp design will see the face 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. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\n Featuring on the stamps are the present Doctor, Matt Smith, as well as David Tennant, Christopher Eccleston, Paul McGann, Sylvester McCoy, Colin Baker, Peter Davison, Tom Baker, Jon Pertwee, Patrick Troughton and the First Doctor, William Hartnell.<\/p>\n

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\u2019s space and time travelling machine, the world famous Time and Relative Dimension in Space or the TARDIS as it is more commonly known. <\/span>
\n
<\/span>
\nThe remaining four stamps feature some of the Doctor\u2019s most famous foes; a Dalek, a Cyberman, an Ood and a Weeping Angel.<\/p>\n

Andrew Hammond, Managing Director, Stamps and Collectibles at Royal Mail, said: \u201cWe are delighted to be able to celebrate this remarkable 50th anniversary. These stamps pay tribute to the brilliant actors that have played the Doctor over the years as well as the adversaries that helped make the show so popular.\u201d<\/p>\n
