Trevor Eve no doubt has no idea who you are.
He was on Top Gear "Star in a resonably priced car".....in which he lost a wheel during practise. He holds the 7th fastest time of 1.48 in the Liana and 8th fastest time of 1.47 in the Lacetti.

How much money does the BBC make on the back of the shows that Trevor Eve stars in? I would imagine they are resold either abroad or for repeats.he gets paid £1 million a series.

Screaming '£1million' is an incredibly over simplistic view of this.

True, but that does not mean that they don't make money on their more popular shows. Top Gear is a prime example.Removing the 'profit' argument, if Eve is worth £1million and the BBC won't pay it then he will go and work elsewhere. If the BBC don't pay market rates then it will become a network filled wall to wall with nothing that anyone wants to watch.
The argument from my perspective is whether BBC are paying their stars too much. Not knowing enough about the market rates for actors or presenters I don't know whether £1million a series is too much or too little. Focussing on the figure of £1million strikes me as a tabloid sensationalist approach.

ks as using that reasoning why not pay them £10 million a show. its hardly a profession noone wants to enter is it. i doubt it gets anything near the top gear revenue.under 200k imho or give him profit share like clarkson if hes that important which i doubt.
if it paid for itself it would keep going:
"Waking The Dead is expected to end after its tenth series in 2011 because of financial pressures – the cost per episode is said to be well in excess of £1 million."

How much should he be paid?
Whatever it takes to secure his services.I imagine in the first series a few quid and a couple of pints of Directors was sufficient.
By now prior to getting out of bed he will require a decent fee.
(1) He can act. Not many people can.
(2) He plays the hero. No-one else can.
So they either go to the expense and risk of writing him out or pony up whatever his agent can negotiate. I doubt the Beeb just pay if there's no need. The only question is whether or not they want to make Waking the Dead or not.
Market forces.
Eve is a "star" on stage and screen and has been since the late 1970s. He was the original lead star in the 1980 revival of "High Society" as well - so he can sing too.
His first big TV hit was as Private Detective Eddie Shoestring in 1980.
Just because YOU'VE not heard of him doesn't mean he isn't well known and well respected in the business.
You will probably find that the BBC don't actually make this series. It is made FOR the BBC by an independent production company and the BBC will pay the market rate for the programme based on the current economic climate. Eve's personal income from the production company is nothing to do with the BBC at all.
