I think the key point is the millions spent on the top few BBC "celebs" might be better spent on new comedies, dramas and interesting topical and educational programmes, rather than Chav fodder.

I thank-you.

I assume you mean Kirsty SQUAWK! Yes she is annoying.

Emily Maitlis however is YUMMERLICIOUS

Annoying? She is unfit for the post.

My dream BBC has no Wark (as well as no Ross).

I couldn't agree more, well said.

Or a reduction in the licence fee?

[Solidec]

Agreed! It's a bit boring when what's-her-face is standing in.

Aren't they or their dodgy agents doing exactly what we would though?

Negotiating the best possible rate for the job?

It's just that the BBC is the weakest clientco out there "Certainly your demands for millions sounds fair to me, sign here!"

Not surprised of any of it since Wogan was found to be paid £££ for doing Children in need. scandalous

However, I wouldn't pay any of them in washers.

Hell, he’s funnier than Woss as well.

I still find it hard to take in that Ross is paid £6 million/year. £600,000 p.a. seems like gross overpayment, but it's 10 times that. Wtf. Carol Vord. was on about £1m too. Surely 60 odd K a year for the likes of them is plenty? And someone like Paxman perhaps in the mid 150k. At least C4 got things right finally when they offered Carol 'waana loan' Vord a 90% pay cut.

It doesn’t exactly fit in with the stated aim of ‘educating and informing’ does it? I can see some value to society of the Paxmanator ripping into some slimey-arsed politician or dodgy banker. Hell, he’s funnier than Woss as well.

Anyone who can get their hands on 6 million of taxpayers money is hardly a pillock.

What does that make us?

[Mich the Tester]

They must have been tulipfaced when they hired that Jonathan Woss. What a pillock.
