He also guest starred twice on The Goodies, in which he appeared as himself — notably in the episode "Kitten Kong", which won the Silver Rose at the Montreux Light Entertainment Festival. Together with Eddie Waring and a number of well known British newsreaders, he appeared in a song and dance routine on The Morecambe and Wise Show. In another episode, Morecambe refers to him as "Michael Asprin". His career took a severe knock after his chat show Aspel and Company was seen to offer too much to Planet Hollywood and Matthew Freud's PR company to secure an interview with Arnold Schwarzenegger. However, he replaced Eamonn Andrews as presenter of This Is Your Life, and continued to present the programme on the BBC until it ended in 2003.
Since 2000 he has presented BBC's Antiques Roadshow. He was the guest host on the 21 October 2005 episode of the topical quiz show Have I Got News For You. In 2006, he played the role of the narrator in the UK tour of Richard O'Brien's The Rocky Horror Show. He was at one point favourite to be the new host of Countdown, though on 16 October the Daily Express reported that he had told an audience at a book launch he had already turned the job down. HonoursIn 1993, Aspel was awarded the OBE for his services to broadcasting, and has been voted TV Times and Variety Club Television Personality of the Year. He was also voted into the Royal Television Society Hall of Fame for outstanding services to television. He is a supporter of the charity Cancer Research UK.
