BBC One Slates Two-Parter to Honor the Late Michael Mosley

The two-part series Michael Mosley—Just One Thing, which celebrates the life and legacy of the late science broadcaster and program maker Dr. Michael Mosley, is set to air on the BBC this month.

The series, produced by BBC Studios Science Unit and in partnership with The Open University, will be broadcast on BBC One and available to stream on BBC iPlayer. Building on the success of his BBC Radio 4 podcast of the same name, Mosley was making this series in the last few months of his life. He passed away earlier this year at the age of 67.

Each episode will feature real-life participants taking on a health challenge inspired by Mosley’s advice. Through their experiences, viewers will see how these manageable lifestyle adjustments can make a significant difference in overall well-being.

Andrew Cohen, head of the BBC Studios Science Unit, said: “Michael worked with us in the BBC Studios Science Unit for over 35 years. It is with great pride and great sadness that we share some of the last work he completed. This is a series that is brimming with highly accessible science journalism, brought to the screen with all the warmth and enthusiasm that made Michael such a unique and much-loved broadcaster.”

Lindsay Bradbury, commissioning editor for BBC Daytime, commented: “We are honored to carry forward Michael’s remarkable legacy by presenting on screen the practical health and wellbeing advice that became his hallmark. It is a true reflection of Michael’s character—a kind and compassionate man who dedicated his life to helping strangers discover ways to become the best version of themselves. In doing so, he continues to captivate and inspire wider audiences by making the process of learning fun, enjoyable and accessible to all.”
