Michael
Aspel closes the red book for the last time
Michael
Aspel announced that he was standing down as the presenter of ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
ONE's This Is Your Life last night.
He
had just recorded a show with music mogul Simon Cowell.
Michael
said: "I've
been hosting the show for 15 years and I'm closing the book for
the last time this evening.
"This
Is Your Life has always been a great show and it's part of TV history.
It's been a pleasure and a privilege."
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½
ONE Controller Lorraine Heggessey said: "Michael Aspel has
done a fantastic job and created many memorable programmes with
his red book.
"He
continues an important role on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE as the presenter of one of
our longest running and most successful programmes, The Antiques
Roadshow."
Although
Michael has now recorded his last This Is Your Life, there are plenty
more shows to be seen on ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ ONE well into the summer.
The
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ recently asked Thames Television - who make the show for the
ÃÛÑ¿´«Ã½ - to come up with new ideas to refresh the format.
But
it remains hugely popular with the British public and no firm decision
has yet been made on its future.
