Which further underlines what a rather small sum of money this is, given
the size of the WS budget.
At the same time, I wonder how much it cost the corporation to (1) start
up BBC Worldwide, then close it down; (2) initiate the "five zone" plan,
then reduce it to three, then scrap it altogether, then initiate the
current seven stream plan; (3) "reorganize" its internal structure to
allow for purchase of outside (no-BBC originated) productions at greatly
increased cost; (4) create the maddeningly confusing "Showcase",
"Insight" and "Living" monikers; (5) hire whiz kids from the commercial
sector to "manage" the enterprise at greatly increased compensation
rates.
(Need I go on?)
