Peter Capaldi's Doctor Who Salary Revealed In BBC Transparency Move

The BBC is a peculiar institution. Not a state broadcaster, but a public broadcaster, it is mostly funded by the BBC licence fee, which anyone in Britain who watches live TV is legally liable to pay. Watching TV without a TV licence is a criminal matter rather than a civil concern and those who don't pay — and don't pay significant fines — can and do go to jail. Given that the BBC's output is enforced by such a mandated payment causes other countries — and a fair few Brits — to be baffled. But in return, Britain gets a TV and radio broadcasting service that is leagues ahead of any other country of a similar size, and makes an international impact well above its weight.

The battle between government, various political parties and the BBC is an ongoing one. Indeed it is often stated that the BBC is its own worst enemy, going overboard to check and critique itself, even flagellate itself, usually in public. In such circumstances do we have the latest twist, the revelation of all BBC salaries over £150,000 (around $200,000).

Derek Thompson, who plays Charlie Fairhead in BBC hospital drama Casualty gets so much more, as does his co-star Amanda Mealing.

Pearl Mackie's salary doesn't make the list. Nor does Steven Moffat's. But at least Jodie Whittaker knows how much she should be asking for.

Here's the full revealed lineup.
