It isn't obvious to me what exactly is the link between Aardman, the makers of Wallace and Gromit, and The Isle Of Man but it must be something important enough to make it necessary for the Isle Of Man postal administration to issue a set of 8 stamps, cost £6.82p, to commemorate the company's 40th anniversary. The set depicts various Aardman characters including 2 stamps which place Morph in Laxey and it is cheerful enough and one can say little more about it than that.
The issue will be released on 12 August 2016. Rating:- **.
