Al ..... You've hit on a point that somebody asked me about just after it was revealed how much Johnathon Ross andRussell  Brand were paid by the Beeb!!  The question asked was this in a nutshell, If they were paid £1,000,000 for a show shown on the BBC  BY the BBC on another channel, DAVE for example, was the BBC paid a lump sum by DAVE to off-set that initial £1,000,000 fee paid?

I didn't know the answer then and I still don't
