BBC presenters and audiences will be asked to do "Just One Thing" this week in memory of the television doctor. TV personality and medical expert, Dr Michael Mosley , is set to be celebrated across BBC radio and TV with a special day dedicated to promoting wellbeing. The broadcaster and columnist tragically passed away last month at the age of 67 due to natural causes while on holiday in Symi, Greece.
In his honour, the BBC will host 'Just One Thing Day' on July 12, inspired by the popular BBC Radio 4 podcast named after his book in which he shared tips for improving health. The event will embody Mosley's philosophy of " encouraging healthy habits by introducing easy routines or simple swaps into daily life to improve health and wellbeing", according to the BBC. BBC Radio 4 will spearhead the day's activities, starting with the Today show, which will feature individuals who have transformed their lives using Mosley's advice.
Later, Woman's Hour host Anita Rani will discuss the impact the TV doctor has had on her life, particularly regarding exercise . The Food Programme will revisit past 'Just One Thing' topics, such as the benefits of eating oily fish and turmeric, while Front Row will highlight how music can bring calmness. Other BBC platforms, including Radio 2's Tina Daheley, 6 Music's Craig Charles, and BBC Radio 1, will also participate in the day's events.
TV favourites Morning Live and The One Show are set to pay tribute to the late Michael Mosley , who was a familiar.
