Daryl (or Darryl according to some sources) is a former co-worker of Mark Corrigan at JLB. He is portrayed by Steve Edge.

Mark and Daryl strike up a good friendship after they discover their mutual interest in history and workplace pranks.

Daryl is known to drop a few racist words while at work but Mark doesn't recognize Daryl's true ideologies until attending a World War II re-enactment where Daryl clearly acts congruent to his Nazi character he is playing. Daryl, mistakenly believing that he and Mark were on the same wavelength, spends time talking to Mark further about his views. Mark becomes uncomfortable and at Jez's advice decides to end the friendship during a team building meet arranged by Alan Johnson.

Meanwhile, Jeremy also strikes up a friendship with Daryl and enlists him to play the cor anglais on one of his tracks. Apparently the cor anglais was the only thing Gog (the producer of the track) liked.

Mark subsequently puts his foot down and ends his friendship with Daryl a second time after by confronting him through the recording studio window.

Daryl is fired for a "sausage prank" in the office, which is treated as racial incident since the victim was German. When he passes Mark at his desk he tells him he won't tell that it was he who helped with the sausage and that he still thinks he's a great guy. This is done in full view of the other employees.
