The series was set in the fictional Oxfordshire village of Dibley, which was assigned a female vicar played by Dawn French.
Airing eight months after the first 32 British women were ordained as Church of England vicars, it was created and co-written by Richard Curtis, alongside Mr Mayhew-Archer.
The series is among the most successful British programmes, receiving multiple British Comedy Awards, an International Emmy and was a multiple British Academy Television Awards nominee.
Mr Mayhew-Archer said: “It’s an amazing honour and just a shame so few of the cast are still here to enjoy it.
“Seeing the beautiful stamps brought back such happy memories.
“They are special stamps in memory of characters with very special needs.”
