How we visualised BBC spending

BBC spending has become a bit of an obsession for this blog recently. Earlier this week, regular Datablogger David McCandless of Information is Beautiful showed how the BBC's budget compared to its spending and incomings with his BBC-O-Gram . In today's paper is another graphic on the subject, using the same data - this one designed and put together by senior Guardian graphic artist Paul Scruton , which focuses just on the Beeb's mighty expenditure.

Thanks to David M and colleagues James Key and Joe Swainson's work on the data and BBC-O-Gram and also to the BBC annual report for 2008/09 . Can you do something with our data?
