From a start as AP, Benetta Adamson has worked her way up, from long-running series such as Pet Rescue to directing human interest films for the main terrestrial channels in the UK. Her film Thalidomide: Life at 40, part of the What's Your Problem? season on BBC Two, celebrates three Thalidomide affected people at age 40 that were not expected to live past birth. The documentary was nominated for a BAFTA Flaherty Award for Best Documentary.

Adamson's most recent film for BBC's ONE Life strand, Dancing on Wheels, follows preparations for the British Wheelchair Dance Championships in Blackpool.
