Isle of Man Post Office is delighted to present a set of twelve stamps marking 100 years of the BBC. The Corporation has been such a big part of all of our lives, informing, educating and entertaining us across ten changing decades. Manxman Sir Frank Gill played a vital role in the formation of the BBC, convincing six organisations to form under the British Broadcasting Corporation entity.

The post office's Maxine Cannon said the broadcaster had an "indelible place in the hearts" of people on the island.

The set also marks the island's connection to the corporation as Castletown-born Sir Frank Gill played "an integral role in its foundation", she added. The engineer has been recognised as playing a formative role in the creation of the British Broadcasting Company in 1922.

The topics were selected by Robert Seatter, Head of BBC History and Glazier Design following research into the programmes most popular with Manx residents. They represent a diverse anthology of the BBC’s broadcasting:

Stamp 1 – The TARDIS from Doctor Who, the longest running sci-fi series in the world, underpinned by some intergalactic explanation: Time and Relative Dimensions in Space.
Stamp 2 – The glitter ball trophy from the light entertainment series Strictly Come Dancing, together with Bruce Forsyth’s immortal catchphrase: Keep Dancing!
Stamp 3 – The Blue Peter badge from the longest-running children’s show in the world, with its famous instruction: Here’s one I made earlier.
