TERRY ADLAM


Terry Hello, you're obviously not a Web Designer, so who are you?
Hi, I'm Terry Adlam and I'm a scriptwriter who specialises in comedy.

Bit of a sweeping comment. So what have you done?
I created and wrote 'Dick Spanner' a 26 x 5 minute claymation programme for Channel 4. I've had quickies and sketches performed on shows such as Spitting Image, The Freddie Starr Show, Hale & Pace, Who Do You Do?, The Friday Zone, The Jack Docherty Show and Giggly Bitz. I 've also written as part of a team for two series of S4C's Llwyth O Docs (Life on the Docs) and solo for a 30 minute special.

Are you Welsh?
Nope. I'm also not German, Flemish or Portuguese but it hasn't stopped me writing for shows on both German, Belgian and Portuguese TV.
I'm an international comedy writer.

Modest as well. What else?
I've written some proposed Sit-coms and over 160 corporate and training videos.

So you just write for TV and Video?
No, I've written for The News Huddlines on Radio 2 as well as ads and two documentaries for local radio. I'm currently writing a screen play for S4C and have had a number of articles and short stories published.

Anything for the stage?
I've had five plays produced by various local theatre companies and two of them have won awards.

So what are you doing now?
Talking to you.

I mean writing wise.
Oh sorry. Well over the last couple of months my short comedy play called ZOO won the Actxfive competition at the Windsor Arts Centre and my Short story 'Meticlously Planned' came first in the Slough Writers Group's short story competition...which was nice.
Currently I'm working on a new sitcom based on ZOO and also halfway through a book on a particular style of film comedy. Oh, and I have an article coming out in a high quailty fan magazine about a technician who worked on the James Bond Films. So not excatly rushed off my feet, but I'm always on the lookout for more work and opportunities.
