I used to love Casualty but gave up on it a few years ago.

I don't get the BBC pay structure....I mean, Chris Evans is the highest paid!

Ah.. I like him... and although he earns most, when you consider pay by hours of entertainment output - 15 per week for ÂĢ2.5m as opposed to PART of one hour per week for Charlie for ÂĢ400k - i think Charlie's paid even more. It's all about the pulling power on the punters I suppose. Whilst the gender pay gap is out of order - I don't believe it's possible or even sensible to expect equal pay for equal work in the entertainment industry. It's like saying Elvis (were he alive) should be paid the same for a gig as Michelle McManus... just because they both sing.
We are still catching up. We finished Broken and the Loch. Up to date with the street and have several Fearless and Fargo episodes to go.
ION one can't begrudge Charlie's modest six figure sum. He is the BBC's Dev. Everything is an acting master class.

Not that I'm an expert, but...
I believe Derek Thompson (Charlie) was the highest-paid actor on the list because he's a major character on a flagship show, and the nature of "Casualty" means that he's paid directly by the BBC as a "full-time" employee. I would bet that Benedict Cumberbatch, Tom Hiddleston and quite a few others earned a lot more than Thompson, but shows like "Sherlock" aren't considered "full-time" (so aren't included in the list), and/or they're paid through production companies, etc. It was explained that the latter reason is why Graham Norton "only" earned ÂĢ850,000 - he actually earns a lot more, but his BBC chat show work is paid through an independent production company.
Note that many of the highest-paid BBC employees were radio DJs or presenters, because that's considered a full-time job (and they're working directly for a BBC radio station). I was personally surprised that Steve Wright was the 7th-highest paid, but perhaps I shouldn't have been.
As for Chris Evans; I'm not sure it was properly confirmed, but I think his "current" salary is still boosted by what he got for "Top Gear" (which was a lot...)
Did anyone see the programme "Old People's Home For 4 Year Olds"?
I thought it was a really interesting experiment and quite moving, too.
Second part is on tonight, Channel4 @ 9 pm.
Heads-up for EastEnders fans:
The World Athletics Championships on Friday means that it's double episodes tonight (Thursday); 7.30 and 8.30pm.
2nd episode is Whitney's engagement party! 
I can't remember whether I've mentioned this one here. Just seeing people mention Making a Murderer reminded me of The Jinx: The Life & Deaths of Robert Durst. It's a 6 part documentary, very good.

He was the rich guy who was implicated in the disappearance/murder of his wife and two other people Yogi ....I knew the name rang a bell .....
