What do yo make of this? Does it surprise you? Should they have been paid the same?

Foy's Golden globe came after.
Smith's Doctor Who fame came before.
Pay was sorted out before.
Logic.

Yes I get that for the first season, but she won her first Golden Globe for the role in 2017 before the second series was out and then went on to win another GG for the second season. I completely get that Matt Smith was a bigger name during the first season, but should they have maybe review her pay for the second season? Not only due to the success for the series but also as she won the Golden Globe, twice. No right or wrong, just food for thought...

It was a two season contract drawn up in the first place, so unlikely to happen unless driven by the actor.
And won't be an issue for 3/4 because a- they've said the actor playing the Queen will get top billing, and b-it's Olivia Colman who is a far far bigger name in the first place.

People are paid what they deserve. Women have less work ethic and natural ability than men therefore deserve to receive less.
If you believe that you are actually a total moron.

But Helena Bonham-Carter is playing Princess Margaret and will probably get a bigger fee for doing it.

Ahh fair enough, I didn't know that. TBF that makes more sense then, still it would be cool if she got a bonus or something lol. Yaaaas Olivia Colman is incredible and such a good fit!

They haven't confirmed that (yet), but they have said that nobody will be paid more than the Queen. So probably the same amount.
I’m sure there are perfectly logical reasons for this, but man that takes balls!

devastating news. i must lie down.
Boring BBC clickbait.
Hadn't heard of her before the Crown. Had heard of him. Move along, they're fishing for a reaction, don't bite.

Things like this causing controversy makes me laugh; these are two independent contracts, arranged by two different agents and agreed to by two different actors. If she was unhappy with what she was offered she could have asked for more money or walked away. For all we know they were both offered the same amount, she accepted and he asked for more.
One day, somebody is going to argue all eleven players in a football team ought to be paid the same.
Or that it is a social wound for women football players to earn less than their male counterparts. Radical egalitarianism is the fashion.
in the USSR of old, orchestra conductors were abolished after the revolution. That is true, actually.
