Timothy L. McInnerny (

Captain Darling in the 1980s British sitcom Blackadder
.

Early life

McInnerny was born on 18 September 1956 in

Stroud, Gloucestershire, and educated at Marling School, a grammar school in Stroud, and read English at Wadham College, Oxford, matriculating in 1976[3] after taking a gap year backpacking around the world.[4]

Career

Television

McInnerny's first role was in

typecast, though he did make a guest appearance in one episode and returned to play Captain Kevin Darling in the fourth series (Blackadder Goes Forth
), a character significantly different from the Lords Percy.

He had a minor but significant role in the highly acclaimed 1985 BBC TV serial

In 2007 McInnerny spoke candidly about his love of ITV sitcoms, after receiving criticism for his views expressed on the BBC cult show I Love the '70s: "I think shows like Mind Your Language and Love Thy Neighbour need to be remembered for what they were; truly fantastic examples of sitcom writing that hasn't been seen since. The content is unfortunate in the cold light of modern society, but that's no reason to stop praising the sheer brilliance of the writers that ITV had in its ranks during that decade."[6]
