TCRT 5 - A Good Day For The Midnight Thread To Strike Back

[KK]

Freemarket basically. BBC have to pay to retain these people.

To a certain extent; celebrities and the BBC need to be wise to the fact it's the show, concept & programme, not the presenter or the host that necessarily matters.

Jonathan Ross, Susanna Reid, Adrian Chiles, Christine Bleakley...all names that left (irrespective of reason, though basically money for everyone bar Ross) and not only were they easily replaced, but the shows in question didn't suffer and their careers have slumped on a new station.

There are of course exceptions (Top Gear is still a work-in-progress trying to replace Clarkson and co.)

It's pretty damning to see such a gender and race gap for BBC presenters, although I would love to see the same figures from the likes of Sky and The Daily Mail who are, of course, outraged at such double standards in the BBC.

I'm sure they must be paying their staff equally.

[Cuttooth]

Also, strawberry floating hell stop paying Alan Shearer that much money.

[rinks]

Guys, Vanessa Feltz is paid more than Peter Capaldi.

(I know she probably does more programmes, but it just seems SO WRONG.)

[Hypes]

That Vanessa Feltz is paid anything seems wrong

Fixed that post for you.

Nolan is an odd case.
My exposure to his work is limited to what gets pushed into my social media feeds but I'd love to know how much of his wage is based on his ability to not lose the rag and just start beating the head of whatever gobshites he has to interview. I've heard a few clips of the discussions regarding the 12th of July and bonfires and the amount of absolute headcases he seems to have to deal with is astronomical.

"So, Arlene Foster has been quoted as saying that the only good taig is a dead taig and that every March she dreams of renting out a John Deere combine and trying to purify Northern Ireland by running over as many people celebrating St. Patrick's Day as she possibly can. Surely she has to resign?"

"But Stephen, the IRA"




"This morning Michelle O'Neill held a press conference to say that the Queen was a mouldy old German gee bag and that she'll shoot Prince Williams big baldy head if she ever gets the chance. Surely she has to resign?"

"But Stephen, the DUP".

Are you sure the figure given is currency and not just amount of cakes?

Yeah but Capaldi is paid more per pound.

Chris Evans Top Gear maybe.

The last series of Top Gear was the best it has been in years. And was much better than the Grand Tour.

What training is this in particular?

Qualified nurse training. Diploma in mental health.

That guy from Casualty being on nearly £400k

I see the Guardian's obsession with race and gender has them frothing at the mouth about this. There were at least half a dozen articles on the 'gender imbalance' on their front page earlier. Of course they're not comparing like-for-like jobs, but given their form on completely misinterpreting and twisting figures on other kinds of 'pay gaps', that's no surprise.

Chris Evans, Jeremy Vine, Claudia Winkelman, Alan Shearer, Matt Baker, Alex Jones...strawberry floating hell - all terrible, and all on ludicrous amounts of money.

Chris Evans appears to have morphed into John Virgo.

I was going to DPL you, but the strawberry floating dead eyes at the end made me laugh pretty hard. Like this gooseberry fool happens to her every day and she just wants it to stop.

A benefits cheat who said he could not walk more than 50 metres climbed Mount Kilimanjaro and won a triathlon.

At the same time, the 33-year-old competed in races, climbed Africa's highest peak, went wing-walking and skied in the Alps.

He also took part in the World Powerboat Championships in Malta

Those aviators are all wrong for his face, very poor choice

The court heard the offence took place while he was serving a 20-week suspended prison sentence for common assault.
