Ok Holly Willoughby is a pretty girl but is she really worth £400k?

That is her reputed remuneration for a series of The Awful Voice on the BBC. Presumably her co-presenter, and call it old age or simply lack of interest, but I cannot recall his name at the moment gets the same. Nearly a million pounds a year! In total, the production costs including the fees of the so-called coaches (who get paid for little more than sitting on the swivel chairs carping at each other) amount to about £22 million of license payers money.

It's a particularly interesting amount of money if, like me, you are a dyed in the wool Formula 1 motor racing fan. Consider this:
The BBC pays Bernie Ecclestone £20m for less than half a season's live coverage. Sky, with it's pathetic presenting team pays £40m for the full season.

Therefore, with no loss of the Beeb's overrated but much prized Wimbledon, Auntie could give me and £5 million other deprived viewers a full year of unalloyed pleasure by simply scrapping The Pointless Voice.

Please Auntie Beeb listen to the voice of reason and cut The Voice's vocal chords NOW!
