The BBC has announced the details of two programmes that will remember TV presenter and columnist Michael Mosley, who died while on holiday in Greece.
Michael Mosley - The Doctor Who Changed Britain will take a look at his almost four decades of broadcasting following the 67-year-old's body being found after he went missing on the island of Symi on Wednesday.
Mosley was discovered in a rocky area near Agia Marina beach on Sunday.
The BBC One special, broadcast on Friday at 8pm, will look at how he transformed people’s lives and was an executive producer following him working on the shows Pompeii - The Last Day; Krakatoa Revealed; Life Before Birth, and Supervolcano.
The corporation said: "His programmes have made a lasting impact on the nation’s health habits from intermittent fasting to the benefits of a cold shower.
"Michael also shared his own struggles with audiences worldwide; as a chronic insomniac he made programmes about sleep and, ever curious, he would also go to extremes in the pursuit of science, even infecting himself with a tapeworm.
"Celebrating Michael’s career, this programme marks the enormous impact he made, touching the lives of so many."
Another programme, There’s Only One Michael Mosley, will air on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds from Friday at 11am, and will contain the last interview the TV doctor conducted.
He recorded a special edition of Just One Thing, in which he regularly revealed tips to help improve your health, at the Hay Festival on May 25 with Professor Tanya Byron.
His wife, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, also a doctor, author and health columnist, was also in attendance in the audience of the event.
The recording will be introduced by TV doctor and presenter Chris van Tulleken, who Mosley worked with as part of Trust Me, I’m A Doctor.
