Close: he's a character from a different British sci-fi comedy, Red Dwarf.
Specifically, he's "Ace" Rimmer, a version of regular character Arnold Rimmer from a parallel dimension, where due to one event happening differently his life took a completely different track(*). I did go through a phase of using different Red Dwarf avatars, but when it came to Rimmer's turn I adopted his alter ego instead, and somehow never got round to changing it again.
(*) Specifically he became a ridiculously heroic and sexy Spacecorps test pilot, as opposed to a jealous and resentful technician whose most important responsibility was cleaning the nozzle of the chicken soup dispenser.
