[Afamilyatwar-list] Budgets

[Tim Douglas]

Alexander ,Saying one million pounds  doesn't mean anything without stating  what it pays for ! One million per episode (It couldn't be !)--One million per series ?One Million for all 52 episodes ?I have repeatedly read that Granada TV executives at the time said  that it was the most cost effective drama they ever made, so ,presumably, it must have cost less than Coronation Street (per  hour )(just remembered- Sir Dennis Forman was one  of the gentleman )

I seem to remember as a child watching it that it was about £1m, but I could be mistaken.

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.
