The UK’s Royal Mail has unveiled a special set of stamps celebrating Doctor Who's 50th anniversary in 2013.

First class stamps of all 11 Time Lords - from William Hartnell and Tom Baker to David Tennant and Matt Smith - will be available across Britain and Northern Ireland from March.

Collectors and fans will also be able to buy second class stamps of four of Doctor Who's villains - the Daleks, the Cybermen, the Ood and the Weeping Angels.

Andrew Hammond from the Royal Mail said: "[The 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."
