2837. 🇬🇧 Royal Mail Issue To Feature Stranger Things.

 

🇬🇧 Royal Mail -

13 January 2026 - Stranger Things - It appears that the first issue of 2026 (made up of a multitude of expensive products) will be on the subject of a Netflix television  programme titled Stranger Things with which I am wholly unfamiliar but which is described by Wikipedia as an “American series … the first season was released on Netflix on July 15 2016” and “the fifth and final season is being released in three parts in November and December 2025”. Wikipedia informs us that the programme combines “elements of horror, science fiction, mystery, fantasy and coming of age drama”. Presumably this is one of those cult productions which few know about but those who do are prepared to spend a lot of money on items related to it.
