He was a judge on Pop Idol between 2001 and 2003 alongside Simon Cowell, Pete Waterman and Nicki Chapman. He appeared as himself, judging a superhero talent show, in BBC Three sketch show The Wrong Door.
As a boy he moved to Thames Ditton, Surrey, where he lived for a number of years. He was then educated at Kingston Grammar School in London and joined the Air Training Corps, before becoming a management student at the University of Bath, where he joined the student radio station University Radio Bath, and began his career as a radio presenter using the pseudonym Andrew Howe. After leaving university he worked as a binliner salesman.

As a child he enjoyed making the trip to Adams Park to watch Wycombe Wanderers, a team he holds close to his heart.
Pop Idol was a British television music competition created by Simon Fuller which ran on ITV from 2001 to 2003. The aim of the show was to decide the best new young pop singer (or "pop idol") in the UK based on viewer voting and participation. Two series were broadcast—one in 2001–2002 and a second in 2003. Pop Idol was subsequently put on an indefinite hiatus after series judge Simon Cowell announced the launch of The X Factor in the UK in April 2004.
The show has become an international TV franchise since, spawning multiple Idol series worldwide. In the mean time a legal dispute arose with the makers of Popstars, which eventually led to the word "pop" being excluded from the titles of all the spin-offs, such as American Idol, Australian Idol, Indonesian Idol, Indian Idol, New Zealand Idol, Latin American Idol, Idol (Poland) and Idols (South Africa).
One of the UK's top-earning TV format exports, Pop Idol made extensive use of premium-priced viewer interactivity, with viewers voting by telephone, mobile telephone texting (not used on series one), through the "red button" on digital television sets, or via the official website. The final of the first series of Pop Idol in February 2002 received the highest-ever one-night vote for a UK TV show, making the show one of ITV's most profitable. The sister show on ITV2, Pop Idol Extra, hosted by Kate Thornton also made extensive use of mobile phone text messages to raise additional revenue. The first Pop Idol received very high voting figures despite allowing only telephone and Internet voting and not making use of texting or the "red button".
Anthony McPartlin (born 18 November 1975) and Declan Donnelly (born 25 September 1975), known collectively as Ant & Dec or PJ & Duncan, are an English comedy and TV presenting and former music duo from Newcastle upon Tyne, England.
The duo first met as actors on the children's television show Byker Grove, during which and in their subsequent pop career they were respectively known as PJ & Duncan – the names of the characters they played on the show. Since then, they have had a very successful career as television presenters, presenting shows such as SMTV Live, Friends Like These, Pop Idol, Ant & Dec's Saturday Night Takeaway, I'm a Celebrity...Get Me Out of Here!, PokerFace, Push the Button, Britain's Got Talent, Red or Black?, and Text Santa. In 2006, they returned to acting with the film Alien Autopsy. The duo presented the 2015 Brit Awards and will also present the 2016 Brit Awards.
Ant is the taller of the two at 5 ft 8 in (1.73 m), and Dec is two inches shorter at 5 ft 6 in (1.68 m). To assist with identification, they follow the 180-degree rule; with the exception of some early publicity shots all of their television appearances and publicity photos have Ant on the left and Dec on the right.

A 35 minute interview with the light artist Kate Beaugié, in the style of Radio 3's Private Passions, discussing the the site-specific artwork 'november position' made for a group exhibition 'Unfold', at the Pie Factory, Margate 2011. Interview conducted by Ewan Golder. But unlike Private Passions, the film has a visual to add to the expressed ideas sought in the interview and the choice of accompanying music. The film 'Open Mind' is made from a series of still photographs, laced together on Final Cut Pro. The stills themselves only vary from the adjustment to the speed of the shutter. As the length of the camera's moment of 'perception' is increased, so is the light. Otherwise known as 'over exposure'. The choice of music is to enhance and sculpt the experience and is also an expressio...

when i was a baby on the bottle they put me
i didn't know before, but now i want to be
1, 2, 3, bottle baby
[chorus]
when i'm old and gray you will hear the people say
oh, he's been on the bottle since a baby
now in this day and age, it seems the world is wrong
but let me tell you something there's a moral to this song
i've been on the bottle since a baby
