In 2014 and 2015, several crew and cast members refuted the bizarre rumors that the on-screen death of Lord Grantham's dog Isis was motivated by an off-screen mandate to shed the name (which had lately been associated in the news with a terrorist group I.S.I.S. in that case standing for "Islamic State of Iraq and Syria"). Hugh Bonneville (Lord Grantham), who was particularly impatient with and dismissive of these rumors, posted his rebuttal on his own website: "To clarify recent speculation, the labrador that appeared in Series One (1912-14) was a dog called Pharaoh. From Series Two (1916-1920) onwards, the labrador has been a bitch named - in keeping with the Egyptian theme - Isis. Anyone who genuinely believes the Series 5 storyline (1924) involving the animal was a reaction to recent world news is a complete berk." "Berk" is a British slang term meaning "idiot" or "fool", although its original meaning (from Cockney rhyming slang "Berkeley Hunt") was once much more anatomically crude.
