Description: This se-tenant pair of local post stamps from the Isles of Scilly features actor Peter Baldwin in his iconic role as Derek Wilton from the long-running soap opera. The left stamp displays a large, focused photographic portrait of the actor dressed in a classic white dress shirt, patterned dark tie, and structured suit jacket. The right stamp showcases a narrative dining scene where he stands alongside character Mavis Wilton and another cast member around a fully set dinner table. Both designs are framed by vibrant hot-pink theater curtains parted to mimic a stage production, with a clear 50p face value denomination and a distinct island logo printed near the lower corners.

Circa: 1995-1996

Condition: MNH
