There’s a bit of consternation on the various Greyhound boards after last night’s season premier of ‘Victoria’. Eos, Albert’s beloved Greyhound, was played by a Scottish Deerhound. Eos was a lovely tuxedo black female, so I’ve been trying to come up with some way of making the joke that ‘a black girl lost out on the role to some hairy Scottish bitch’, but I wasn’t at all sure I could make it work.

Funny thing - it should be easier to obtain a black Greyhound than any Scottish Deerhound, because Greyhounds are a lot more common.
