THIS BOX IS NO MORE. CHECK OUT http://www.letterboxing.org/BoxView.php?boxnum=21959 FOR ITS REPLACEMENT!
Doctor Who was a science-fiction television show aired by the British Broadcasting Corporation from 1963-1989, and aired in America in the 70’s, 80’s, and 90’s by many PBS stations. This show was a very important part of my childhood. In early 2005, the BBC began airing new Doctor Who episodes for the first time in sixteen years (not counting a one-off joint production with FOX television in 1996). In honor of this exciting moment in sci-fi television history, I’ve carved a series of nine Doctor Who letterbox stamps, and scattered them all over southeastern Pennsylvania.
The most unique thing about Doctor Who is that the lead character, known only as “the Doctor,” has been played by nine different actors over the years. As a Time Lord from the planet Gallifrey, the Doctor has the ability to regenerate when faced with death. His appearance and personality change significantly whenever this happens. Each of my Doctor Who letterboxes is in honor of one of these distinct Doctors (known as “the First Doctor,” “the Second Doctor,” and so on). Each stamp contains the logo in use during that Doctor’s tenure, an image appropriate to that Doctor, and another image from the show in general. Fans of the show should recognize all these images; they may seem quite odd to others!
The general format of the show is rather simple. In most stories, the Doctor (and one or more companions) would arrive in his space/time ship (called the TARDIS) on some planet or other, then solve a problem or two, and leave again at the end of the story. In keeping with this style, the clues for my Doctor Who letterboxes start at other, already planted letterboxes.
To find the Seventh Doctor, begin at the “Who is the Author?” series by Wednesday Bowler and Celtic Cat. On your way from Box #2 to Box #3, keep an eye out for the stream you’re supposed to cross. When you reach that stream, stop and turn left. Notice that just to the left of the stream is a small path. Walk about nine paces down the path, and turn left. You will find a very large tree just next to the trail. Just beyond that tree is another large tree which has fallen. Look inside the stump of that fallen tree to find the Seventh Doctor. You might need long arms to retrieve him.
This stamp includes an image of a question-mark-shaped umbrella, which the Seventh Doctor carried. It also includes an image of a Dalek, one of the Doctor’s most popular enemies. Make sure you record the number you find on the box…it’ll be necessary to find the Ninth Doctor.
