Mid 50s sounds about right. The brief visit with Von Gosling is set when Gosling was younger, maybe mid-30s, I reckon. Lourdes, you're avatar prompted me to watch 'Dear Diary' today. Not the funniest episode, (not really meant to be I reckon) but definately one of the most powerful. The scen in the pub is my favourite.

No, just that one episode unfortunately. I have the full series on tape or DVD so I know these things!

Thanks, Gaston. But I refuse to believe it. Is a shame!

It is. Maybe a 'dark graphic novel' (ie. spooky comic book) would have been a good idea.

A novel? What do you mean I meant a graphic novel as in a comic book. Also Igor is probably about 820 as he has sevred the Duckulas for about 8 centuries.

Considering how he acts, I personally believe Duckula is in his early twenties.
As for the others, I'm just having a wild guess.
Igor: 890, looks 90. He has to be immortal. I mean, how else could he survive after all these years?
Nanny: Maybe 855, looks 55. The crow's feet(hardy har) made her seem much older, but she also has black hair.
Goosewing: Despite acting very young and energetic, I pin him about 65. Those wrinkles are a plain giveaway. I also remembered some episodes where they called him an "old chap", even some that looked a bit older than him.

Calisotalatina: watch carefully the 'Family Reunion' episode, there is an scene in which everybody has a glass of blood on the hand, well our beloved Mr. November (go Igor!) has a glass too!!! BTW I still like to think that VG is about 54 by the end of the series

I could very much see VG is his mid 50s. Actually, his wide glassy eyed stare quite reminds me of my own father, who is 54 (ha ha Lourdes, it must be coincidence!) As for his near Alzheimers mental issues, I think VG has possibly just always been that way. I mean, he's a mad scientist, he said so himself. Probably been blown up in the face one too many times, I'd say, lol Not to mention he's a fanatic - completely obsessed with the Duckula clan. Which actually begs me to wonder - why is he so fixated on them when the only one he could have possibly encountered was Duckyboos himself? What the hell has he been chasing all these years? Anyways. Igor and Nanny, oh goodness I don't think I ponder any characters in the series as much as I do these two. Age especially. Nanny is kind of like a Goosewing for me - I don't think she's really all that old. Possibly in her 50s? Well, physically anyways, as it's obvious she and Igor both have at least 800 years under their belts. I do think Igor is unquestionably older than Nanny. He's kind of tricky though. I want to think as late as 70s, (again, physically) He isn't feeble though, but as has been noted of course in a cartoon he'll be much more active than a normal man of his age. So I'm guessing in total he's coming up on about 870+ years. Good lord that's a long time! And even then that's by kind of shaky guesstimation. Give or take, I suppose. As to the Lord of the Castle himself, I actually think that when he was 'born' he was quite the same age as he is today. Vampires don't age, as we all know. As someone (I can't remember who, sorry!) above mentioned, Interview with the Vampire is an excellent point. They are all very likely the same age as the original Count. But as much as it makes sense for him, it does make me wonder about the rest of his family. Does that mean then, that say, Lucrezia and Vlad were bitten later in life? Or maybe they just age really reeeeaaaally slowly? I wouldn't discount that. The Duckula line never seems to live long enough to get that old, lol It's complicated. Or even, heck, it could be as simple as Cosgrove Hall just wanted to make BS stuff up along the way to confuse us all xD The world may never know

I think Duckula is about 18 or 19 at the start of the series, given the comment in the second episode that he was 17 and a half. Add that to his brattish tendencies and his youthful exuberance, then I'm sure he's a teenager still.

BC - I was actually going to bring that up from Vampire Vacation. I'm still rather inclined to find him to be at least 21-22ish He's just spoiled is all He's got to be the first and only spoiled character I've ever loved. He's such a little kid about it! It's adorable <3

Yeah... the age issue on the show is so confusing, especially concerning Duckula. Since a vampire is technically an animated corpse (lovely thought, I know ;D), I can't help thinking he must have been resurrected at the age he is on the show. But that doesn't explain the references he makes to younger ages, unless they were things that happened when he was still alive. But then how would he remember it if he doesn't remember anything before his current incarnation? Unless it's just that Igor told him about it. But I think the ages others have guessed for the other characters are pretty spot on.
