Was Darling in Blackadder Goes forth named after Alastir Darling. Very odd name !
Question: Quite honestly, I don't know darling, LOL
Answers: Quite honestly, I don't know darling, LOL
It isn't very odd In Scotland .
and that is where Alistair Darling comes from .
I've known plenty of people with the surname Darling, one of whom is a council member.
Anyway, Capt. Darling's first name is Kevin. So you're wrong.
I very much doubt it as Blackadder was made about 15 years ago or so, but you are right it is a strange surname
