From the movie Little Shop of Horrors, 1966
Mr, Mushnick (flower shop owner): Well you would like, maybe, as usual some flowers for the funeral?
Mrs, Shiva (customer): I thought possibly because I always give you my funeral business and maybe you should possibly give me, eh, a little cut today,.
Mr, Mushnick: Look on me Mrs. Shiva, What am I? A Philatelist? I sell on Skid row nothing but cheap carnations.

I was watching one of the those Christmas movies called A Holiday Boyfriend where a woman looks for someone to go her parents' home with for Christmas after being dumped the prior Christmas. She uses a dating service anmd as expected every date was a comic event. One was a generic looking guy who was a stamp collector. He was actually the most normal of the bunch.

The latest series of “The Crown” (abysmal IMHO) has a scene where George V finds a plum colored stamp on his morning mail and talks about the wartime problems with ink color consistency. A wink and a nod to the Tyrian plum maybe?

I recall that in an episode of "The Addams Family" the mail included a letter with a Canadian KG6 definitive. No reason for it in the plot, I don't know why they chose a Canadian stamp.

I can't remember which episode it was, but the David Suchet series of Poirot has one where at the start he is sorting through his stamp collection before being interrupted by Captain Hastings:  |
