The BBC salary storm has highlighted huge disparities between the gender pay gap, with Chris Evans emerging as the corporation’s highest paid star, earning almost £2million more than the
leading female on the bill, Strictly Come Dancing host Claudia Winkleman. With the first female Time Lord about to command her Tardis, the most immediate question for Hall was clearly: Will
Whittaker be paid the same as Capaldi? “I would hope that the new female Doctor Who, that Jodie, gets the same as Peter and I'm hugely looking forward to her taking over at Christmas,”
he told 5 News. When asked sternly if that would be the case, Hall added: “That’s a negotiation I don’t want to get into. I don't know what Peter Capaldi got as the old Doctor Who.”
_BBC SALARIES: FULL LIST OF BBC STARS’ PAY REVEALED_ The files published yesterday revealed Capaldi was paid between £200,000 and £249,999 in 2016/17 for playing the Doctor. The public were
stunned to learn the salaries of their BBC idols yesterday, with many shocks raising massive question marks.
