It's possible you are thinking of:
* Henry Home, Lord Kames: A Scottish judge and writer who was known for his legal works and philosophical writings. He is famous for his "Elements of Criticism" and "The Gentleman Farmer."
* Blackadder: This is a popular British sitcom, but it does not have an author in the traditional sense. The show was created by Richard Curtis and Rowan Atkinson.
Could you please clarify who you are referring to?
