        There's no need for "big strides" or "a lot left to do"... Just pay your stars equally across gender, its not bloody difficult. Wake up.

        Actually yes it is Joe. It's business and there are lots of factors. Do you pay someone who pulls in 1m viewers the same as 10m?

        A lot of women in the business would attest to the fact that they aren't given the opportunity to pull in 10m viewers. So that needs fixing.

        I really don't buy your idea that women are somehow just not ambitious enough to be paid Chris Evans' salary...

        Absolutely. Doesn't mean that gender wasn't a factor in how he got those opportunities to work so hard, though.

        #BBC missing the biggest issue.....it's the high level of all of these salaries ...not the gender gap!

        At last! I've been trying to make this point all day. Totally agree - we pay too much already.

        Even the ONS itself has published figures like these, but "muh feminism" needs SOMETHING to whine about.
