Would you agree that £72K is a pretty good salary for what he actually does? I'm sure someone will come along and tell me that he could earn umpteen more times than that on SKY, then so be it, let him go to SKY; then I wouldn't be paying his salary from my TV licence fee any more and the money saved could be going towards what the BBC does best: news, documentaries, dramas etc.
