He also works for BT at times
and of course he had his crisp adverts...we don't see them now |
|
By:
BT Football
|
|
By:
but he does have to work on a week-end
|
|
By:
If he had been born 30 years later he'd be earning five times as much per annum .
On the plus side , if he was still playing he'd be less inclined to stick his nose into current affairs/politics where it's not wanted  |
|
By:
in a country of 60 million people the BBC can't find equally good presenters for a tenth of that pay .
Bet the cleaners at the BBC are on minimum pay |
|
By:
Talentess and shouldn't even be earning anything on TV
They should be working in factories and warehouses on minimum wage ffs |
|
By:
Alan Shearer £400,000 and he looks like he still shops at Next.
|
|
By:
All white top ten
 very strange ,needs looking into imo. |
|
By:
Not seen the list but would wager that the LGBT community are also under represented
 |
|
By:
There is some white bloke called Mohammad on there Earns 355 k a year not sure who he is , Norton is the soul Rainbow flag bearer.

By:
Any Brexiteers make the top ten?
Ok, top thousand? |

2. Chris Evans £1,250,000

|
By:
I think the Norton figure is misleading as for his tv show I think he gets paid by the production company not the BBC.
Given the world wide profile of his chat show I would be surprised if he doesn't ultimately earn more than the rest combined. |
|
By:
I had to look up exactly who Jason Mohammad is as I've never heard of him before.
|
|
By:
a friend of Jason Djfmamj
|
|
By:
he's available all year
|
|
By:
Mainly radio presenters, aren't they? Presenters anyway. Presumably actors are either underpaid or work for production companies so their pay is not reported.
|
|
By:
BBC trying to put a virtue signally PC spin on it, they are paying people far too much, but more women are now earning far too much.
Great. |
|
By:
3 women in the top 10?
How did that happen? Did not even know any of Zoe Ball, Vanessa Feltz and Claudia Winkleman even worked for the BBC at the moment  |
|
By:
insulting to hard working people on a low wage
|
|
By:
Would anyone not watch MOTD if lineker or Shearer were not there? Of course not as you watch it to watch the games especially the team you support,can understand them having to pay large salaries in some cases but totally unnecessary in this case.
|
|
By:
Zoe Ball, Vanessa Feltz and Claudia Winkleman
Incredible. Don't see/hear much of Zoe Ball but the other 2 are mediocre at best. |
|
By:
I don`t get some of you guys. Last night on the other thread, you were saying that posters criticising high earners were just jealous, hated seeing people succeed and were leftie scum. Now the same protagonists are openly criticising successful high earners. Make your minds up.

By:
Feltz on £360,000.
The PM is on less than half of that. In fact in any "normal" walk of life, could you ever earn that? The countries absolute top surgeons, scientists, engineers etc, extremely intelligent hard working people doing useful things will be on a fraction of that. But the BBC puts a gun to our head, forces us to pay up or go to prison, then gives the money the extract from us away so that e.g. more than 1/3 of a million a year goes to someone we don't even know work for them. As I say, great. In fact if you ignore the top 10, the list of others on shocking amounts is on as long as your arm: https://www.bbc.co.uk/news/entertainment-arts-48839428 I actually don't mind Norton earing a decent whack as he has a big show that is syndicated and shown on the likes of BBC america and I'm sure brings income to the BBC that offsets his salary. Unlike the rest of chancers taking the p1ss in that list. Many of whom none of us have any idea who they are but are on 150k+. |

Apples and oranges Mac.
I don't think wages were mentioned last night. We were talking of people making a success of life. Here we are talking about 'entertainers' being overrated. |
|
By:
Once again Mac needs simple things such as the anger against the BBC explained. And for the umpteenth time this needs layed out:
The BBC is not a magazine we can opt in to buy. We are all forced to pay for it. If you watch zero seconds of BBC a year, and watch just romanian news 24 on a satellite dish, you are forced to pay for it or be taken to court for watching "Live TV". They then take the vast amounts of sums they earn, and hand it out in huge bundles to reward themself, while at the same time proclaiming they are wonderful balanced journalists and program makers when they are a propaganda network that would make Pravda blush. |
|
By:
"sums they earn" is innacurate. "sums they extort with threats" is accurate.
|
|
By:
If I felt as strong as you about the BBC license fee, I simply wouldn`t pay it and go to court. I did so with the Poll Tax. It`s called standing up for your principles.
|
|
By:
They can`t make programmes to suit everybody. There are many programmes that I hate on the BBC, the difference is I don`t watch them.
 |
|
By:
What happened in court?
Why opposed to it? It merely replaced rates. |
|
By:
Wasn't Poll Tax was actually called Community Charge.
Fighting it made Tommy Sheridan a rich man. |
|
By:
ackie why the f do you have to prove what an imbecile you are on such a regular basis?
|
|
By:
kennybhoy as interesting as normal.
|
|
By:
It would be unwise of me to reveal such personal information on a public forum.

p.s. I`m not Tommy Sheridan

From The Independant....
'Lineker, Winkleman, Zoe Ball and Graham Norton, for instance, are presented as enemies of the people, robbing pensioners of their free TV licences and taking the hard-earned cash of ordinary citizens to subsidise their fancy ways. This is the narrative in common circulation, but there is an alternative one. All the big earners at the corporation could probably command even bigger salaries in the open market, but many of them choose to stay with our national broadcaster out of a sense of mission, a belief in the higher purpose of the BBC' |

Can feel a BBC Presenters Appreciation Day on the horizon.
Hope they qualify for loyalty bonuses, that would be nice. |
