In season 4 of the British-sitcom Black Adder, is the officer's name is actually "Darling" or is it just a nick name?
If "Darling" is just a nick name in the show, what is his real name in the show?

The character's real name is Kevin Darling Its meant to just be a joke that his real name is also a term of endearment, setting up some good lines from the others, not that it is a nickname. To a British ear, Darling sounds convincingly like it could be a last name of someone from the upper classes - like an officer in the British Army at the time. Its worth pointing out that Darling is definitely more likely a last name than Blackadder. Darling was the last name of the family in Peter Pan, stories from the same era. |
