The BBC will broadcast a final interview following the death of Michael Mosley in Greece

TV doctor Michael Mosley will be remembered in two BBC specials broadcast on Friday after his death on holiday in Greece.

The broadcaster and columnist died of natural causes last week after disappearing on the Greek island of Symi. The 67-year-old man was found on Sunday in a rocky area near Agia Marina beach. As a tribute, the BBC will broadcast Mosley’s last interview in a program called There’s Only One Michael Mosley on BBC Radio 4 and BBC Sounds at 11am on Friday.

Mosley recorded a special edition of Just One Thing, in which he regularly reveals tips to improve your health, at the Hay Festival on May 25 with Professor Paul Bloom. The recording will be presented by doctor and TV presenter Chris van Tulleken, who Mosley has worked with as part of the BBC’s Trust Me, I’m A Doctor series.

Meanwhile, a TV special entitled Michael Mosley: The Doctor Who Changed Britain will be broadcast on BBC One at 8pm in his memory. The program will focus on Mosley’s decades-long broadcasting career and how he transformed people’s lives through science.

Mosley first trained as a doctor before moving into broadcasting, presenting a number of science programs and films for the BBC, including Trust Me, I’m A Doctor, which looked at healthcare in the UK.

In 2002, he was nominated for an Emmy for his role as executive producer of the BBC science documentary The Human Face, and also ingested tapeworms for six weeks for a 2014 documentary called Infested! Living With Parasites on BBC Four.

Mosley is credited with popularizing the 5:2 diet, a form of intermittent fasting, through his book The Fast Diet, and later advocated the Fast 800 diet, which follows a “moderately low-carb Mediterranean-style diet.”
