Colin Adams was a British television executive. In the 1990s he was the Head of Northern Broadcasting at the BBC, before in 1997 he was appointed as the Corporation's Head of Television Drama.^[1][2] Adams was chosen for the position despite having no background in drama programming, but the Corporation was eager to appoint somebody to the position which had not had a full-time occupant since the previous year, when Charles Denton had left.
