I received nothing for either of the documentaries I've done, and nothing either for standing in a very muddy field for a day, doing a lot of pieces (including interrupting all BBC channels) at the site of an air crash.

I did get paid about £30 or so for an interview on Radio 4 about 30 years ago.

The rule seems to be (for the BBC), that if you call them, they don't pay, if they call you, they do pay. And the amount paid is by the minute. I'm guessing that from experience.

I got paid for standing £75 in a muddy field overlooking  a patch of scrubland explaining to Iolo Williams why we couldn't find a Great Grey Shrike.

They didn't use the clip.

Lucky you. I think my mud was worse than yours. I was in my office when the crash happened, and had to get to the site dressed in office clothes and highly unsuitable shoes (and the mud was deeper than my walking stick off the path.
