If you reveal that an anonymous TV figure is being paid that much more than the BBC's political editor, I would probably shrug and assume it is some big name or other and assume that they're probably worth it. When I find out it's Nick Knowles, however, my sense of grievance is piqued because he is a relatively minor personality who clearly has a shït-hot agent.
