Ask Aspel was two things. A clip request programme where you wrote to Michael Aspel and requested excerpts from BBC programmes, mainly kids or family programmes. A useful function in the days before VCR or Tivo or IPlayer.
The other function was a chat show as Aspel would interview a guest and rather a few memorable guests turned up such as Kate Bush, a person not known for giving many interviews and remember this is a children's show.
It was an enjoyable show, Aspel was a veteran television host but did not talk down to the kids and its the interviews that I found most enjoyable.
