2765. ๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Royal Mail Commemorates Monty Python.

 

New issues.

๐Ÿ‡ฌ๐Ÿ‡ง Royal Mail -

14 August 2025 - 50th anniversary of Monty Python, BBC television comedy series & film - 6 stamps (3 vertically se-tenant pairs, (cost £10.20p), 1 miniature sheet containing 4 different self-adhesive stamps (Monty Python and The Holy Grail, cost £6.80p), 1 miniature sheet containing the 6 different stamps in self -adhesive format with labels (£11.40p, ‘Collectors sheeet), 1 miniature sheet containing 3 identical self-adhesive  stamps with labels (Monty Python and The Holy Grail ‘fan sheet’, cost £7.50p) and 1 ‘Gold miniature sheet’, cost £149.99p). Designed by Common Curiosity and lithographed by Cartor and perforated 14.5. 

Great designs celebrating British humour as it was 50 years ago but now long lost under the pressure of political correctness and pofacedness and the need to be offended. An excessive issue with grossly unnecessary extra items (yes, I know they’re for the fans) but let’s give the basic set & miniature sheet a full blown ***** in memory of a lost Britain and its zany, rude sense of humour.
