In August 2025, Royal Mail has put a Monty Python stamp set into circulation, tipping the hat to sketches fans quote by heart. On the minis and sheets you’ll spot the Ministry of Silly Walks, the Dead Parrot routine, the never-on-time Spanish Inquisition, and nods to the films Holy Grail and Life of Brian.
The range covers the usual Royal Mail mix: sheet stamps for everyday post, a souvenir sheet, First Day Covers with a themed cancel, and a presentation pack that walks through the artwork choices. There are playful extras for album pages and display frames, so the set reads as fun on paper, not just pure nostalgia.
For stamp collectors, the pull is obvious: mainstream subject, but with sketch-level detail that rewards close viewing under glass. For stamp sellers and dealers, a wider fan base should keep demand steady beyond core philately. If you want day-of-issue pictorial postmarks, order First Day Covers early; the rest of the range should remain in Royal Mail channels while the run lasts.
