It'd be intriguing to compare private sector salaries. I wonder what Kay Burley gets paid despite a history of abject presenting.
On point 2, ff the BBC is so stupid for wasting money on big name but irrelevant pundits for sports, why does every private sector sports broadcaster do exactly the same? When Gary Neville came back to Sky after his shit spell as manager in Spain, his salary went up to £1.5 million. Thierry Henry's annual salary is reported to be £4 million per year.
The revamped Monday Night Football on Sky when they brought Neville and Carragher in gave it a huge shot in the arm and a lot of credibility in the post Grey/Keys era. Sometimes pundits do drag in some punters.

I don't particularly dislike him, but I think it'd be fun.

Put it this way the BBC's previous top paid star (Jeremy Clarkson) was enormously profitable for the corporation. None of the people on this list look like generating much income.
At least he's a great actor... Not quite as good as the guy that played his soap dad (Pete Beale) though.

Having said that, £1.7m is too much but he's said that he's turned down more from other broadcasters. To some extent it is a market rate.
The list is a bit misleading. If you take Graham Norton for instance, his chatshow is produced by his own company, and the BBC pays the company for the show. As far as I can see he's getting £850k for his radio show and Eurovision.
I used to like doctor who - but bought them all rather than watching them on tv. Otherwise maybe the odd episode of Question Time if I fancied laughing at flailing politicians.
I've gone off football (except for international matches) but they do show some other sport that is worth watching. They show the World Championship snooker, the Masters golf, some six nations matches, and they show the NFL matches in London and the Superbowl. Unfortunately they also waste vast quantities of money showing Wimbledon.
I regularly watch some of the tea time quiz shows like Pointless and Eggheads. The other things I watch are Only Connect, Top Gear, the odd nature programme, and some of the Friday night music documentaries. My daughters used to watch CBeebies a lot when they were younger as well.
The Jewel in the crown for the BBC is TMS. Aggers should be on that list.

Mark Chapman - seems to fill whatever role they ask of him on telly or radio, a superb broadcaster. Ditto Ellie Oldroyd.
