1. Michael McIntyre - £500,000 - For Six Episodes
http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=DRMOVDEvZrM At least everyone else on this list was making a bucket load for a year's work: "comedian" Michael McIntyre is making £500,000 from the BBC for just six episodes work. That means in a short period of time he will pocket what Fiona Bruce makes for a full year's worth of presenting. Value for money? I think not. McIntyre is an acquired sense of humour, personally I don't find him funny - in fact I find him annoying. McIntyre will rake in £83,333 per an episode in his new deal, making him one of the very elite workers at the BBC. For that kind of money he should be doing something mind blowingly amazing. What he will actually be doing is a poor impression of a chat show host. Given a Monday night slot you also can't help but think it isn't even really a key show - it's just a case of frivolous overspending on an act who is a B-level performer. The comedian made £21 million on his last tour (so granted he has some fans) and £500,000 probably feels like a nip compared to that. How depressing to think that this guy is a millionaire twenty times over - and now we are the ones paying for it! The cumulative millions on this list are just the tip of the iceberg. As the BBC rakes in our annual license fee, the culture of overspending and bad investment continues. How long until someone is brave enough to modernise and bring about change in this outdated and crisis hit institution?
