Mosley trained as a doctor and presented numerous BBC science programs and films, including the series Trust Me, I’m A Doctor, which explored healthcare in Britain.

The BBC One special, which airs at 8pm on Friday, will show how he transformed people’s lives and worked as an executive producer on shows such as ‘Pompeii The Last Day’, ‘Krakatoa Revealed’, ‘Life Before Birth’ and ‘Supervolcano’. . The corporation said: “Its programs have had a lasting impact on the nation’s health habits, from intermittent fasting to the benefits of a cold shower.

“Michael shared his own struggles with audiences around the world; as a chronic insomniac, he made programs about sleep and, always curious, he also went to extremes in his pursuit of science, even infecting himself with a tapeworm. Celebrating Michael’s career, this program marks the enormous impact he had, touching the lives of so many.”

BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds will broadcast another programme, There’s Only One Michael Mosley, from Friday at 11am. The show presents the last interview the doctor gave.

He recorded an edition of his ‘Just One Thing’ podcast, a series in which he repeatedly shares tips for improving health, with Professor Paul Bloom at the Hay Festival on 25 May. His wife, Dr Clare Bailey Mosley, also a medical practitioner, author and health columnist, was in the audience.

TV doctor and presenter Chris van Tullekenm, who presents the recording, worked with Mosley on “Trust Me, I’m A Doctor”. In 2002, Mosley was nominated for an Emmy for his role as executive producer of the BBC science documentary The Human Face.

Known for pushing boundaries, in 2014 he swallowed tapeworms for six weeks while filming the BBC Four documentary ‘Infested! He lives with parasites.” Greek police told the BBC on Monday that a preliminary post-mortem examination showed no signs of injury on Mosley’s body.

He was believed to have died at around 4pm last Wednesday, June 5, around two and a half hours after he went for a walk.
