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!<br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7530"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7409"><br></span></div><div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7542"><span id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7409">Bill Scanlan Murphy</span></div><div class="qtdSeparateBR" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7375"><br><br></div><div class="yahoo_quoted" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7379" style="display: block;"> <div style="font-family: Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 13px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7378"> <div style="font-family: HelveticaNeue, Helvetica Neue, Helvetica, Arial, Lucida Grande, sans-serif; font-size: 16px;" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7377"> <div dir="ltr" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7376"> <font id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7380" face="Arial" size="2"> <hr id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7381" size="1"> <b><span style="font-weight:bold;">From:</span></b> Scott Filderman via Afamilyatwar-list <afamilyatwar-list@baylor.edu><br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">To:</span></b> afamilyatwar-list@baylor.edu <br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Sent:</span></b> Wednesday, February 7, 2018 12:25 PM<br> <b><span style="font-weight: bold;">Subject:</span></b> [Afamilyatwar-list] Budgets<br> </font> </div> <div class="y_msg_container" id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7513"><br><div id="yiv6729714708"><!--[if gte mso 9]><xml><o:OfficeDocumentSettings><o:AllowPNG/><o:PixelsPerInch>96</o:PixelsPerInch></o:OfficeDocumentSettings></xml><![endif]--><div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7514">
A dreadful question, but....<div id="yui_3_16_0_1_1518036812674_7515">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.<br><br></div>
