How much does the BBC spend on taxis?

It occurred to me the other week (of course, 'the other week' means 'at virtually any point in the last 6 months') that pretty much every show you watch with an expert in, you see them being ferried around in a taxi. Be it Find Me The Face, which will see one of the presenters being whisked to some place or other... or a guest being driven around. Which made wonder... how much of the TV license goes on driving lazy celebs and presenters?
Now, if I was some kind of investigative journalist, I'd be on this, demanding to see recipes and shouting at various people... but I'm not. I'm a TV critic. And a bad one at that. That said, it won't stop me speculating. I imagine that most people we see on screen are driven to work. Wogan won't be driving in everyday will he?
