Bid TV
Andy Hodgson could used to be seen presenting bid tv on Sunday between 3.00pm and 6.30pm, as well as being a stand-in presenter at other times of the week. He has presented on the channel since its inception in the year 2000. He also provides the voice-over for the majority of their advertising, as well as appearing in-vision for several of them.
His sales technique differs to the other styles of his fellow presenters, and he has been compared with fictional Norwich chat show host Alan Partridge. He often jokes with the production staff and assistants whilst presenting. One such assistant is the unseen warehouse assistant called "Bob the Warehouse".
When phoning the channel to bid for an item, Hodgson's voice greets the bidder with a pre-recorded message detailing the item they are purchasing. Behind the scenes, he was also the Controller of Channels.
Andy announced that after a decade at the channel, he would be leaving.
Other television appearances
