Phillip Jon Plowman (born 1953 in Welwyn Garden City, England) is an television and film producer. He has been a Producer at the BBC since 1980, when he produced Russell Harty's chat show ''Harty''. He moved on to executive producing at the BBC in 1986, working on sketch show ''A Bit of Fry and Laurie'', and became Head of Comedy Entertainment in 1994, mainly responsible for sketch shows. Plowman was educated in Welwyn Garden City and at University College, Oxford,〔Sabine Durrant, (Interview / Plowman's half hour: Jon Plowman is the straight man behind the funny women played by French and Saunders. Life's a gag, the TV producer tells Sabine Durrant ), ''The Independent'', 2 March 1994.〕 where was a member of the University College Players〔Univ.

One, Mel Smith, directed Plowman in a production of ''Rosencrantz and Guildenstern Are Dead''. After Oxford, Plowman followed Smith to the Royal Court Theatre, where he met the director Lindsay Anderson. Plowman worked in theatre for a while, then joined Granada TV. He was responsible for producing and commissioning programmes produced in-house at the BBC, of which the greatest successes include ''The Office'' and ''French & Saunders''. Plowman became Head of Comedy in October 2005, and now oversees the BBC's in-house comedy production, but no longer commissions programmes. In June 2007, Plowman announced he was quitting his post at the BBC after 27 years. He decided to become a freelance producer for other shows and hoped to carry on his relationship with the BBC, continuing to create programmes "for them and elsewhere."〔Matthew Hemley, (Head of comedy Plowman to leave BBC ), ''The Stage'', 26 June 2007.〕 In December 2003, ''The Observer'' named him in its list of the '50 Funniest or Most Influential People in British Comedy'.
