To think that Isis must be the world's oldest Labrador?

When it all started back in 1912, she was not the youngest of dogs. How is she still staggering on?

What year is it supposed to be now?

SauvignonBlanche · 19/10/2014 21:18

She's doing well, isn't she, I wonder what they feed her?

nocheeseinhouse · 19/10/2014 21:19

I think it's a different dog? Wasn't the first one a different Egypt-related name?

CaptainAnkles · 19/10/2014 21:20

I reckon the family keep getting new ones but can't think of any new names. They must be on Isis IV at least.

They'll be gearing up for their millenium bash by next season.

squoosh · 19/10/2014 21:29

Kitchen slave girl is still 17 by the looks of things.

Iwantmyparcel · 19/10/2014 21:33

She's actually about 28 in real life..

Iwantmyparcel · 19/10/2014 21:35

29 sorry. The kitchen main I mean.

AntiDistinctlyMinty · 19/10/2014 21:35

I think the first one was Pharaoh...

EduCated · 19/10/2014 21:40

YY Isis is the DD dog of original dog. Therefore more plausible.

MushroomSoup · 19/10/2014 22:38

Great punch tonight!

YouveCatToBeKittenMe · 19/10/2014 22:40

Isis punched someone?
Did they steal her spot by the fire?

littlepeas · 19/10/2014 22:41

The one from the first series was Pharaoh, but Isis from series 2 onwards, so still getting on a bit!

SleepySuitcaseSheepie · 19/10/2014 22:51

Daisy looks like she is 15.....
What year are we supposed to be in now?!
Wouldn't Mrs Drew have some idea about lady Edith and marigold?

riskit4abiskit · 19/10/2014 23:21

I wish the lab would feature more - are you listening Julian whatsisface writer man? I think he should catch the evil butlery one at some evil act and save the day.

LineRunner · 19/10/2014 23:23

1924 apparently.

SockQueen · 19/10/2014 23:23

It's 1924, and the series started in 1912. Daisy said she "left school at 11" and it is not inconceivable that she would go straight into service, but was obviously older than that in the first series. She was old enough to marry William in s2 circa 1916, so I would guess she should be mid-late 20s by this current series.

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 19/10/2014 23:23

Or drag someone out of a fire by the leg?

LetsFaceTheMusicAndDance · 19/10/2014 23:25

The dog doing the dragging not Daisy, though she does have a fine set of teeth on her.

riskit4abiskit · 19/10/2014 23:55

Hahaha @ letsface!

mindthegap79 · 20/10/2014 00:25

Sorry if this is a bit off topic, but do we all hate Thomas the evil? Does anyone feel sorry for him? And Bates? Thoughts on Bates?

LineRunner · 20/10/2014 00:39

Thomas is just weird.

Bates has become weird.

They are all weird tbh.

FoxgloveFairy · 20/10/2014 01:09

I have had the same thought- I'd have thought old Isis would be pushing up some dog roses by now. Will we then be free of her large Labrador arse in the credits then? Don't misunderstand me, love Labs but not her best camera angle!

AliceLidl · 20/10/2014 01:20

I don't hate Thomas the Evil. Not all the time anyway.

I hate Bates though.

But I think it was Thomas that pushed Dennis from Eastenders under the car.

SleepySuitcaseSheepie · 20/10/2014 01:25

Hate Thomas
I like bates - I want Bates and Anna to have children....although Bates is seemingly more odd this series, I think it's just because he knows Anna knows he knows but can't tell her incase she lets it slip....
