BBC website publised its 50 top-earning managers' expenses claims yesterday in the wake of the MP expenses scandal, in response to Freedom of Information requests.
Speaking with the BBC Directorate-General Mark Thompson, he pointed out after the MP expenses scandal, the public expectation about openness, trustworthiness and every kind of value for money are becoming more trenchant, insistent and more vocal ever than before.
The list of expenses includes Mr Tompson's costly flying back from his family holiday in Sicily last October, to deal with the outrageous phone call made to actor Andrew Sachs by Jonathan Ross and Russell Brand on the latter's Radio 2 show.
The coporation's spokesman said buying champagne is now banned, as traditionally gifts and flowers had been bought to starts was "part of the BBC's job to nurture talent".

Presenters crossed the bottom line
Recently, two Radio presenters Russell Brand and Jonathan Ross from the BBC evoked public's condemnation.
During their latest weekly radio two show, the pairs crossed the line and joked that the 78-year-old Fawlty Towers actor Andrew Sachs had sex with his graddaughter Georgina Baillie.
Final Warning
The coporates executive board have decided to suspend Jonathan for 12 weeks and Brand has already quit when the incident happened last Wednesday.
The major issue here is that why these two men had such a freedom? As anything always has a limit.
Mark Thompson, the director-general from the coporate has warned Johnthan for his utterly unacceptable behavior, and both of them reached the agreement that "nothing like this must never happen again".
What general public's opinion?
Some people think that it's only possible when you imagine a hypothetical situation where involved celebrities.
Two men in their thirties and forties respectively and bait someone, like in his late seventies, with comments referring him to have sex with his granddaughter, would the police not get involved?
As recently the main actor for Dr Who is stepping down, some audience also had mocked Russell Brand - such a daring, mischievous, cocky guy - is he the likely choice to play the next Doctor Who?
