BBC pay: How much do its stars earn?

The BBC has, for the first time, published salaries of its highest-paid stars - with all those earning £150,000 or more included.

The salaries are grouped into £50,000 blocks and are for the financial year 2016-17, where they came directly from the licence fee. They do not include each individual's earnings from other broadcasters or commercial activities. Here, we round up the top earners and what they do.
