[Afamilyatwar-list] Budgets

[William Murphy]

I worked on the last two series of The Onedin Line (music) for a princely 100 pounds per episode (though, to be fair, that was sort of money then). The leads, as I recall, got 5-10K per show, but the real money was in the overseas sales, which were considerable. Enough, at least, to pull in the likes of T.P. McKenna as guest artists. Have to admit that the last two series were dramatically dire, though!

A dreadful question, but....Watching so many excellent series—ITV, Granada, and BBC from the late 60s through the late 70s (AFAW, Forsyte Saga, War and Peace, Onedin Line, Duchess of Duke Street, etc), does anyone have information to impart about production budgets (costumes, set dressing, actors’ and writers’ salaries, and all that)? Perhaps Jon does, having worked across the board. Yes, yes, the notoriously cheap BBC and so on. Networks anywhere are not given to making such data known, so I thought an insider might share some knowledge.
