Claudia Winkleman is still the top woman, on £370,000-£379,999. Mary Berry and Newsnight's Emily Maitlis are among eight women to have joined the list.

When it comes to this I can't help but think if we were to compare Claudia with Gary (as the top earners) then surely we must break it down to working hours, I mean how many shows a year does Claudia do for the BBC vs how many shows of MoTD (and other games) does Gary do.

This obsession with the "pay gap" seriously needs to go away.

Fixed that for you.

It’s a simple fact that women, and minorities, are systematically underpaid and undervalued. Sure, posting the top earners without analysing the data to see perhaps hours worked is an issue but the fact remains. Sexism is rife and women are constantly overlooked for promotion and underpaid. We need to talk about that and fix it as it’s simply wrong.

What’s also missing is none of the BBC Studio produced programmes are included in the figures.

Well they say a womens work is never done, so.....
