IIRC, Tim McInerney's character (he had formerly been Lord Percy 
Percy in the various earlier Blackadder incarnations) in the BBC 
series "Blackadder Goes Forth" is Captain Darling, with numerous 
amusing lines directed by General Meltchett at Captain Darling. 
Hence, "What a day I've had, Darling. Fetch me a drink, Darling? 
Thank you, Darling."
