Studios stars not included

THE BBC followed new rules in 2017 as a result of the introduction of the current Royal Charter, and was required to reveal the salaries of its staff earning more than £150,000.

Those earning money paid by BBC Studios are not included on this year’s report. The company makes many of the BBC’s popular programmes, but has been a commercial entity since April 2017 and is not funded by licence fee payers. Stars of programmes including Top Gear, Strictly Come Dancing, Planet Earth II, Doctor Who, Mrs Brown’s Boys, East Enders and Casualty are not included, or have just portions of their salaries shown.
