The first Silurians introduced are depicted as prehistoric and scientifically advanced sentient humanoids who predate the dawn of man; in their backstory, the Silurians went into self-induced hibernation to survive what they predicted to be a large geological upheaval caused by the Earth capturing the Moon.

Dr. Who, The Eleventh Doctor, Matt Smith

The Eleventh Doctor

- - - - - - -

The Eleventh Doctor is an incarnation of the Doctor of the BBC science fiction television programme Doctor Who. He is played by Matt Smith, in three series as well as seven specials, over an almost four-year-long period.

- - -

Executive producer Steven Moffat on Smith's casting.....

The Doctor is a very special part, and it takes a very special actor to play him. You need to be old and young at the same time, a boffin and an action hero, a cheeky schoolboy and the wise old man of the universe. As soon as Matt walked through the door, and blew us away with a bold and brand new take on the Time Lord, we knew we had our man.

Het Gebroken Oor (The Broken Ear)

This is postmarked in 2014 with two stamps from Belgium featuring Tintin characters.

- - - - - - -

The Broken Ear is the sixth volume of The Adventures of Tintin, the comics series by Belgian cartoonist Hergé. Commissioned by the conservative Belgian newspaper Le Vingtième Siècle, it was serialised weekly from December 1935 to February 1937. The story tells of young Belgian reporter Tintin and his dog Snowy, who pursue the thieves of a small South American carving identifiable by its broken ear. In doing so, he ends up in the fictional nation of San Theodoros, where he becomes embroiled in a civil war and discovers the Arumbaya tribe deep in the forest.

The story was adapted for both the 1956 animation, Hergé's Adventures of Tintin, and for the 1991 animated series The Adventures of Tintin.
