Doctor Who stamps

So you got your first Doctor Who stamps today.

Scott: Yeah – quite a lot actually.

With three first day covers still to come.

Scott: Really, three? What are you talking about? Three? There should only really be two.

There’s one with some of the Doctors, one with the others, and a special one.

Scott: What’s the special one, baddies?

I can’t remember – a special one.

Scott: Just generally special?

Yeah. They’re great, aren’t they?

Scott: Yeah. I got one pack with the actual stamps – Doctors one to 12, Daleks, Ood, Weeping Angles, Cyberman and the Tardis.

I think they’ll be very collectable.

Scott: Probably, and it’ll be the newest first day cover. Ask me a question.

What else will I say?

Scott: I don’t know.

You don’t want to use them as stamps.

Scott: No.

And keep them in their folders.

Scott: Yeah.

They’re for the 50th anniversary of Doctor Who.

Scott: I don’t remember there being any big special anniversary last year or the year before.

That’s because they were years 48 and 49.

Scott: Ah… Okay.

There’s a 50th anniversary special planned for later this year.

Scott: Was there special stuff for the 10, 20, 30 and 40? You might have been there for the 40 and the 30 – maybe even more.

The five Doctors episode was for the 25th anniversary – the one we’ve watched on DVD a few times.

Scott: Why don’t we watch it?

We can tomorrow.

Scott: Ah – okay.

Doctor Who

The fourth Doctor - complete with scarf - confronts a Cyberman.

Doctor Who?

Scott: I might not be able to draw that, but let’s try it out.

What is Doctor Who?

Scott: A TV programme or more or less a DVD programme to be more precise. Or something that’s on now. Series 11, that’s on now, and episode… What episode?

Helen: Episode one. Or six.

Scott: Series 11, episode…

Helen: Six.

Scott: Series 11, Helen. Which episode in series 11?

I don’t know, and I don’t think it’s series 11. Who is the Doctor?

Scott: Eh… When did anyone see the Doctor?

Helen: That Doctor. What do you mean Doctor Who?

Scott: (impersonating theme tune) Oooo eeee oooo…

Helen: What do you mean Doctor. Who?

Who is the Doctor?

Scott: Doctor Who?

What is he?

Scott: A timelord, isn’t that the most obvious thing?

And what does he do?

Scott: (pause) Travels in time is the best way I could say it.

Backwards and forwards?

Scott: Well… yes.

Does he meet any aliens?

Scott: Well… Yes. There are aliens. Animals, goodies, baddies…

Who’s your favourite alien?

Scott: Cybermen are pretty good. (To Helen) I’m guessing he’s going to say: “Why?”

Who’s your favourite Doctor?

Helen: Doctor One.

Scott: The fifth one, because he wears celery on his jacket.

Helen: I like the same one as Scott.

Scott: Why?

Helen: Because he has celery on his jacket.

Scott: Or the fourth Doctor, because he has curly hair and a scarf.

Helen's brilliant drawing of the tardis.
