I would guess that there are a number of celebrities who are paid more than the people listed but as they are not contracted employees this information remains confidential.
I don't really care.
I was surprised by Gary Lineker's pay, is this just for MOTD?
To be fair I don't watch the show or anything else he presents but it seemed high compared with others.
People on the telly get paid a lot. Who knew?

No point getting animated about it all - there's nothing anyone can do about it anyway.
As an aside I hope that that the woman in the Admiral Insurance advert is well paid. I rather watch her than most of the people on the BBC list.
For being a self absorbed, irritating dick. At least Jeremy Vine only get £750k for it.
Mumbling about nurses and firemen and stuff. Soldiers, cops, blah, blah, blah.
Something about Wayne Rooney. Grumble, grumble.
She's worth it.
Surely Tom Hardy and Cillian Murphy get more than the chap from causality for peaky blinders.
They are not employed by the BBC.
The chap from Casualty is unusual - most actors are self employed or paid via a production company etc.

The guy that phoned into the Jeremy Vine show had him squirming a bit when he whinged about his salary lol
"The company that Hardy founded – Taboo Productions Ltd – to handle the finances of making Taboo has recently reported a big loss. Accounts show that £10.4 million was spent on making Taboo, but its income only reached £8.4 million"
I doubt Tom Hardy got a big payday for Taboo from the BBC but may do well if other networks buy the show, or it does well on DVD sales and downloads.
Humphries dealt with it much better in my view.

Demand and supply decides their wages. I think Chris Evans is a prat, however his BBC radio two listeners would probably disagree.

Remember you will always find some people who get paid more than you as well as those who get paid less.
Thinking that there is fairness in the system is naive to say the least!

Not so sure about that. I know that they all operated under Ltd Companies for a long time - which really took the piss. The BBC, being effectively state run - had to toe the HMRC line, though.......
I would have sacked 50% of the news readers, as they only read half the story before handing off to the other one - who would read the next sentence. Sweet Jesus! If they can't read the whole story - then they are quite clearly screwing us.
Certainly is.She's worth it.

Really. What has offended you...a statement of facts?

Tbh it is pretty disgusting that these people get such outrageous salaries IMO. They need to attract the best talent? Well they obviously don't.
These parasites are paid by license money which WE are forced by threat of prosecution to pay. This may have been relevant thirty odd years ago but now media comes from every possible direction. This outmoded and outdated monster, the so called BBC, needs a good enema to flush out the crap and start paying it's own way.
Is there anyone that actually thinks Chris Evans is better than mediocre?
Apart from Chris Evans of course.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I thought the Top Gear episodes he fronted certainly failed to highlight his talent..
Top Gear? Don't get me started on Top Gear.
Idiocracy.
Keep Attenborough. Not sure about the rest.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
As I understand it - Top Gear is one of (if not the) top earners for the BBC?
If you are troubled by the salaries, vote with your feet, remove your aerial and stop paying your license.
I havent had a license for approaching a decade, BBC iPlayer used to be great but is now off limits... but for less money you can have Netflix, plus any number of legally free streamed sources of entertainment of your choosing....YouTube is a fav...
Incidentally, the licensing chaps will never accept that you dont have a tv... but the threat has never been more severe than a visit and a polite "no, you cant come in to check", and off they go.
That's your contribution to the thread? Seriously???
FRO
I havent had a license for donkeys. Losing iplayer access was a bit of a blow but I soon got over it.
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
I think they are planning on bringing in Donkey Licences..........
I wonder if she has a full set?Best way to look at it in my view.

I make no contribution to this thread. If I could be bothered with a political discussion on the subject I'd contribute to the thread in the BP.
HTH
I don't know why people get bombed about the licence fee, especially when people are happy to pay up to £80 a month for Sky, even Netflix is 9.99 for 4K HD access.
The BBC gives you 3 channels, 1 24 hr News channel, numerous specialist channels, online content and access, 4 national radio stations, hundreds of regional stations and digital stations as well. I think it is good value for money at around £12 per month for advert and Murdoch free entertainment.
Of course, I don't watch or listen to everything but neither do you with Sky or Netflix!

I usually only get Netflix or one of the other online subs services for one month a year, usually in winter. Not much worth watching on there either tbh.

They are not the same people............
A bit like "I don't know why people vote Vanilla, when lots of people vote Chocolate"
That explains it, I feel. (and should appease Draftsman..........)

I am happy to pay the licence fee for Planet Earth 2.
I cannot abide Evans and his salary is some kind of sick joke on all of us. Now he's off top gear (travesty that was under him), we're paying a iicence fee to pay the parasite for a radio show that you don't need a licence fee to listen to!
I like to think so.I wonder if she has a full set?
I could have been a plastic surgeon
Good luck everybody. Have a good one.
Errr... i've got some bad news for you lads.
Personal life
Hill is openly lesbian.[5] She lives in north London with her partner Sara Shepherd, a camera operator. They have entered into a civil partnership.[6]
Damon Hill the racing driver??

Sounds like good news to me.

It was when fronted by Clarkson etc, whether after the 1st series back with Evans it still is, would be interesting to find out.
A bit 'meh' for me.
Lots of people paid similar and beyond - you cannot lambast the individuals for taking the role for an agreed sum.
My only exception this remains the fools who boot a football around of a weekend......
When you look long into an abyss, the abyss looks long into you.........
Darth Hill, head of catering..? Lord Hill of Cheam?
One of the better looking lesbians on the BBC.
Its usual for the top end presenters to also produce and be largely responsible for generating the programmes they front.
I'd be very surprised if Tom Hardy wasn't paud a decent fee up front (maybe not quite the level he would normally get). This would be seperate from any dividend limitations he'd then get from being a director of the production company.
Its quite common practice. The production company can go belly up but the actor/owner gets their payment up front . Even if it ironically ends up bankrupting the production company.
Sometimes the production company is set up
as a shell for another company. It goes belly up and limits the liability back to the parent company. You can be your own client when you run a production co.
I am sure Eddie will reward you for your moderation.
You do realise this is the G&D?
