TV doctor Michael Mosley is to be honoured across BBC radio and TV today with the day being dedicated when presenters and audiences will be encouraged to do “just one thing” to improve their wellbeing.
The broadcaster and columnist died of natural causes last month aged 67 after he went missing on the Greek island of Symi.
In his memory, the broadcaster will host the Just One Thing Day today, named after his popular BBC Radio 4 podcast where he revealed tips to help improve your health.
The day will be based on Michael’s ethos to “encourage healthy habits by introducing easy routines or simple swaps into daily life to improve health and wellbeing”, the BBC has said.
BBC Radio 4 will be leading the charge today, kicking off on the Today show, which will welcome those who have changed their lives as a result of Michael’s tips.
Later on Woman’s Hour, host Anita Rani will reflect on the impact the TV doctor has had on her life with a focus on the benefits of exercise.
The Food Programme will showcase past Just One Thing topics ranging from eating oily fish to the benefits of turmeric, while Front Row will celebrate how listening to music or playing an instrument can bring a sense of calm.
Elsewhere across the BBC, Radio 2’s Tina Daheley and 6 Music’s Craig Charles will both get involved with one thing to improve their own wellbeing and BBC Radio 1 will also mark the day.
TV shows Morning Live and The One Show, where Michael was a regular contributor, will join in celebrating his legacy.
