Well the second part of my Blackadder's character synosis. Today will be everyone's favourite pencil pusher, Capt Kevin Darling. Played skillfully by Tim McInnerny who also appeared in the previous Blackadder series as Lord Percy Percy.
Having a surname Darling definitely does not give u much fun especially in the military. Numerous jokes are cracked by both Blackadder and his boss, General Melchett (refer to the statement by Flashheart below). Well hated for his sucking and curry favouring skills, he seems to enjoy doing administrative work even though he is in the military. Getting easily excited by a truckful load of paper clips arriving, he was finally sent to battle very much reluctantly.
Darling, we salute u!

The "Darling" name sets up some of the funniest jokes in the WWI Blackadder skits! And well played by this actor, who plays it 'straight-faced'.
