Titled Michael Mosley: The Doctor Who Changed Britain, the documentary will look back at Mosley\u2019s \u201cextraordinary broadcasting career which spanned almost 40 years\u201d, according to the official synopsis.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cFronting series such as Trust Me I\u2019m a Doctor and the hit podcast Just One Thing, Michael used his warm, often funny approach to deliver important, life-changing health messages,\u201d it continues.<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cHe started behind the scenes, as an award-winning Science Journalist and Producer, before becoming a much-loved Presenter. His programmes have made a lasting impact on the nation\u2019s <\/span>health habits from intermittent fasting to the benefits of a cold shower.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cMichael also shared his own struggles with audiences world-wide; as a chronic insomniac he made programmes about sleep and, ever curious, he would also go to extremes in the pursuit of science, <\/span>even infecting himself with a tapeworm. Celebrating Michael\u2019s career, this programme marks the enormous impact he made, touching the lives of so many.\u201d<\/span><\/p>
