Michael Mosley’s ‘Just One Thing’ to Air as TV Series on BBC

A new television series titled “Just One Thing,” featuring Michael Mosley, is set to premiere this autumn on BBC One. Originally intended for BBC Two‘s daytime slot, the series is based on Mosley’s popular Radio 4 podcast. Filmed before the broadcaster’s passing earlier this summer, the show brings the essence of the podcast to television audiences, seeking to offer engaging tips for enhancing health and wellbeing.

Produced by the BBC Studios Science Unit, the series translates the podcast’s success from digital formats onto the television screen. Each episode aims to inform viewers on a single, simple tip that is scientifically proven to aid in health transformations. These range from dancing in the kitchen to boost memory, to enjoying green spaces, consuming beetroot, and performing acts of kindness to uplift mood and mental health.

The series takes Mosley across picturesque locales within the United Kingdom, including the Lake District, Edinburgh, Cambridgeshire, East Anglia, Staffordshire, Blackpool, Glasgow, and North Wales. Each destination correlates with the weekly tip’s subject matter, offering viewers insights into how local environments can contribute to overall wellbeing.

In his exploratory travels, Mosley engages with local communities, encouraging them to adopt new practices beneficial to their health while fostering a deeper connection with their surroundings. These journeys promise viewers remarkable vistas alongside practical lifestyle advice.

The debut episode of “Just One Thing with Michael Mosley” is scheduled for Monday, October 14, at 8:30 pm on BBC One, with subsequent episodes airing weekly.
