No one was more surprised than Michael Aspel when he was honoured with a Living Legend award at the Television & Radio Industries Club luncheon earlier this month. ‘It was rather sweet,’ he says of his new trophy. ‘It looks like a bottle opener.’Michael was particularly delighted because so often these days, the only time anyone gets in touch with him is to request a tribute to yet another showbiz colleague who has died.At the age of 91, the former newsreader, television personality, presenter, chat-show host and radio broadcaster has outlived nearly all his contemporaries; a list of greats that includes Terry Wogan, , Des O’Connor, , Bob Monkhouse, Morecambe and Wise – I could go on, but it might get depressing.
