	Welland, Colin
		Colin Welland is widely respected both as an actor and as a writer for television, the cinema, and the stage.
		Welland first became a familiar face on British television when he landed the role of Constable David Graham, one of the original characters based at Newtown police station in the long-running police serial Z Cars in the 1960s.
		Thus established in television as a performer, Welland went on to appear in various plays and television movies, often also contributing the scripts (he was voted Best TV Playwright in Britain in 1970, 1973 and 1974).

	BBC - h2g2 - The Name "Colin"
		Those of us unfortunate enough to be cursed with the first-name of “Colin” will no doubt harbour the same grudge towards their parents as I do.
		Colins world-over are underachievers, held back by the label their parents apportioned them in their infancy.
		The name ‘Colin’ is an unforgiving millstone for which ‘The Meeja’ is largely to blame in their portrayal of Colins over the years.

	FILM STUDIES Play for Today (University of Hull)
		Colin Welland, a former teacher, BBC North newscaster and club comedian, got his big break as an actor in the police drama series Z Cars.
		According to Welland, The Hallelujah Handshake was the first piece not to have ‘come straight out of my own background and experience’, but he was still utilising his talent for observation, which had prompted friends who saw Bangelstein’s Boys to say ‘You didn’t write that – you remembered it!’ (4).
		Colin Welland has a strong sense of how people talk and behave, Alan Clarke an equally strong sense of how they move, but these two qualities remained separate, with the result that the community was in the end, an artificial one, existing only to tell this story (13).

	REELINSIDER.COM - CHARIOTS OF FIRE (1981)
		Though not a particularly layered drama in the sense of suggesting allegory, metaphor or other such literary models to enliven the work, Chariots of Fire is a tightly written film that develops its group of young unknown actors with surprising facility.
		Colin Welland's script is filled with interested historical details like the use of World War I veterans and the somehow implicit, though viewable class structure of England.
		It also sets up certain early 20th century conflicts within the British Empire made of England, Wales, Ireland, Scotland and the protectorates and makes ethnic and religious convictions worthwhile points of consideration rather than being merely obvious traits for enlivening two-dimensional characters.

	Kes - Movie Review
		Gritty realism has seldom been grittier than in "Kes", director Ken Loach's depiction of a young rapscallion growing up in the poor end of town who finds solace in his unlikely friendship with a juvenile kestrel.
		Only one teacher, the well-meaning Mr Farthing (Colin Welland), even attempts to understand what truly makes his pupils tick.
		But the deeply sad and sudden ending - itself a rarity in the film world of today - is perhaps what haunts the most.

		This was only Ken Loach's second cinema feature but it still ranks as one of his finest and most moving films.
		Billy falls foul of brutal PE teacher Sugden (the legendary Brian Glover), but younger and more understanding Farthing (the equally excellent Colin Welland) realises that Billy has found his own variety of freedom, happiness and success.
		Naturally for any "kitchen sink" drama, Billy's happiness cannot last and the prospect of a crushing non-future in the mines is all that's left to Billy...

	Chariots of Fire
		Indeed, the timorous screenplay retreats just as often from its promising subplots as it does from less welcome narrative avenues, which means it doesn't really go much of anywhere.
		Liddell and Abrahams both have girlfriends on the side, but in refusing to overplay the romantic angle of the story, Colin Welland's screenplay hasn't found anything better to do with these women.
		The interesting South African actress Alice Krige, later a Borg queen in the Star Trek film franchise, seems mostly here to wear the sunny white dresses and imposingly veiled hats that can help you win a Costume Design Oscar in an uncompetitive year.
