Kirsty Wark – £210K

In the long run, hardly many people can claim of appearing on the same show continuously since 1993. Since Kirsty Wark has been hosting “Newsnight” on BBC 2 since that year, she can, by coincidence, tell this tale. She is more complex than that, though. She has also written two fictional novels, “The House By The Loch” and “The Legacy Of Elizabeth Pringle,” and she has received several honors, including a Daytime Emmy Award. In 2017, she was made a Fellow of the Royal Society of Edinburgh. She also made an appearance in 2021’s episode of “Richard Osman’s House of Games.”

Faisal Islam – £210K

Faisal Islam has made good use of his skills in business to profit from the new media market. He formerly held the same post for Channel 4 and, before that, worked as the political editor for Sky News. He is currently the economic editor for BBC News. Despite never having studied for it, he has a rather broad understanding of economics. Even though one of his first jobs was as an economics journalist for The Observer, he actually studied journalism as a field of study. Since 2020, he has also filled in for the regular hosts of “Newsnight” when they are absent.
