£350-400k for the last financial year.

He has ONE facial expression!

He's an icon

boggedoff · 19/07/2017 11:40

they're ALL overpaid, it's awful! there should be a cap

Howlandbreathe · 19/07/2017 11:44

That's an awful lot of money for such poor acting

An icon ? For whom ? Sticks ?

checkoutchick · 19/07/2017 11:44

l think he works really hard.

VeryPunny · 19/07/2017 11:44

Claire Balding is waaay underpaid. Chris Evan's salary is an utter disgrace.

Freshprincess · 19/07/2017 11:44

i can't get over Steve Wright! £500k! He virtually says the same thing every day! Fair play to him though, he must be a shit hot negotiator!

SlothMama · 19/07/2017 11:46

Chris Evans earning over £2 million is ridiculous!

PortiaCastis · 19/07/2017 11:47

They're all bleddy overpaid for not a lot

Freshprincess · 19/07/2017 11:47

It was for last year, so presumably includes Top Gear as well As the radio.

HarryBiscuit · 19/07/2017 11:50

Very Shock yes Clare Balding presents about a bazillion things. What does Lineker do apart from MOTD and a few bits and bobs?

He's been in it for years! He deserves a lot.

Howlandbreathe · 19/07/2017 11:51

I can't get over Nick Knowles £350 for a renovation show - does he do anything else ?

Agree Clare Balding should be paid more. She is so knowledgeable and likeable

Crumbelina · 19/07/2017 11:53

I'm not too fussed about the amount they're paid (it's not too surprising) but the differences by gender! Shock

BigDeskBob · 19/07/2017 11:53

Top gear is under BBC wide world or something, so isn't included.

I can't get over the pay for the one show.

DreichAgain · 19/07/2017 11:54

They are mostly all overpaid.

Very few would look good outside of the vehicles that the BBC provides for them.

Best example I can give was Adrian Chiles and his co host from Northern ireland: replaceable talent.

I don't include Clare Balding in that as I think she would have an impact elsewhere.

derxa · 19/07/2017 11:55

Andrew Neil is paid less than Claudia Winkleman Shock

DreichAgain · 19/07/2017 12:01

Christ on a bike..

DreichAgain · 19/07/2017 12:03

He's the only one I'd pay to view.

WipsGlitter · 19/07/2017 12:05

It is Shock that Chris Evans gets paid that much he's crap.

Also our local "shock jock" Stephen Nolan is on a fortune too. And his show is essentially just functioning alcoholics ranting at each other.

The gender pay gap is disgraceful.

trixymalixy · 19/07/2017 12:05

The one that sticks out for me is vanessa Feltz!! How the hell does she get paid that much, what does she do?! And does anyone like her?

Claire Balding is way underpaid.

SapphireStrange · 19/07/2017 12:05

Oh, I don't fucking care how much a few BBC people get paid.

It's just the Tories whipping up outrage for the Daily Mail crowd. It'll end in the Beeb being privatised.

trixymalixy · 19/07/2017 12:06

But the big story is the gender pay gap that a lot of people say doesn't exist, well it's clearly demonstrated here.

LaurieMarlow · 19/07/2017 12:06

Some of them have better agents than others, obviously.

Ditching Evans would be a great move in the interests of getting value for tax payers' money. He's an unwatchable twat.

MovingOnUpMovingOnOut · 19/07/2017 12:07

Not all the pay is included. Anything via production companies (including Graham Norton's own production company that produces The Graham Norton Show) is excluded.

I'm sure they could get someone for less money to do the dross Nick Knowles fronts. I'd also get rid of Charlie from Casulty and Adam Woodyat from Eastenders. I'd wield that axe hard.

Bet it's fun down on the BBC soap sets today...

Oh, I don't fucking care how much a few BBC people get paid Oh I do...
