He remains best remembered for his controversial decision in 1964 to sack several actors from the programme and especially for his decision to "kill off" the popular character of Martha Longhurst. Several actors, Violet Carson among them, complained about Aspinall's move to senior Granada management and many years later figures such as H.V. Kershaw and Bill Podmore criticised the decision, saying it was one of the worst in the programme's history. Kershaw however went on to say that he preferred to remember Aspinall as the man who introduced the Ogdens to the show.
