They did two per year. The average TOTAL budget for each film was £250,000 (pre production, product in and all post production)

The principle contract artists (contracted to do two a year by Rank) - e.g. Kenny Williams, Babs, Sid James, Charles Hawtry etc were paid about £28,000 each per year each to do the "two movies they were contracted for per year"

Hope I haven't bored everyone to much !!

Not at all. And just to add another example of the producer's care with the money, he always made sure that the last shot filmed was done at Pinewood so the wrap party could happen straight away without him having to pay travel costs to cast and crew.
