I'd suggest you read a BBC freelance contract. If you have a spare

do you really think that "million pound" talent gets given the same
"take it or leave" it contract that a freelance sound man gets?

I'm willing to bet quite a bit of it is the same. Written by the same
team of lawyers.

Well quite a bit of it would be. But, ultimately, it depends who has
the power going into the relationship. If the "talent" has it, he'll
dictate the important terms. The rest is just boiler plate that one
would expect to be the same.

Experience of the BBC says they ain't going to give up their 'rights' for
anyone.

Corse they do with Liz.
