2013 (26 MARCH). 50thANNIVERSARY OF DOCTOR WHO(TV programme)

The longest running television series devoted to science-fction, frst broadcastin 1963, is commemorated on its 50thanniversary. The frst Doctor starred WilliamHartnell who was accompanied by his granddaughter and her two teachers. Thesecond series introduced the Daleks and their war cry Ex-term-in-ate was an instantsuccess. The space ship was the TARDIS (Time and Relative Dimensions in Space).The budget was modest hence the police box, not unusual in 1960s London. Thepolice box took on a chameleon circuit enabling it to blend into any backgroundand surroundings on landing .Tom Baker, holds the distinction of the longest servingdoctor from 1974 to 1981. The team at the BBC responsible at the start were SydneyNewman, head of drama, Donald Wilson and Cecil Edwin. In 1966 the Cybermenmade their frst appearance in The Tenth Planet. The issue comprised three sheets,two sheets comprising se-tenant strips of 4 arranged 46 in two panes up of 24 and

one sheet of se-tenantstrips of 6 arranged 64 two panes up of 24 all with a horizontalgutter margin. The issue includes a Premium Stamp Booklet, retail booklet andminiature sheet. The stamps from counter sheets were conventionally gummed andprinted in lithography by Cartor. The sheets were on nonuorescent coated paper
