Anywhere between a penny and £1,000,000,000,000.

To be constructive, the salaries are varied across the board as obviously those that have been in the roles longer will have had more pay increases over time.

Ie, Barbara Knox would be on more money than Sue Cleaver, with estimated salaries of £220,000 and £100,000 respectively.

Wow, I never knew they needed such things as list actors, at least not outside Schindler's List.
